He loves to eat ramen, and has eaten ramen in Taipei, Hsinchu, and Japan, using his sharp sense of taste to realize his dream. Whether the food is good or not is a matter of opinion, but I admire entrepreneurs who stick to their original intentions. The old magazines in the store and posters from the Showa era are all genuine, not large-scale output! It’s all the owner of Xiao Lu who went to old bookstores in Japan to dig for treasures; all the tableware and soup bowls are from Japan, for no reason, just to present the authentic Japanese taste.
