Hailed as one of only 4 “Ramen Gods” on the Japanese TV competition show “Ramen King,” Chef Naka experienced colossal success in Japan after he opened Nakamura-Ya when he was 22. Always seeking to share his craft with America, he partnered up with Sun Noodle, the leading US-based ramen noodle manufacturer, and started building up a network stateside. In the US, Chef Nakamura debuted at Sun Noodle’s “Ramen Lab” where he again received critical acclaim. With a network of support created through Sun Noodle, and the success at Ramen Lab, Chef Naka was ready to open his own shop: Nakamura.
