Ichiran

The Ichiran main building in Fukuoka

Ichiran Ramen (一蘭, Ichiran) is a Japanese ramen food-service business specializing in tonkotsu ramen.[1] The chain restaurant began in Fukuoka[2] as a humble ramen stall in 1960 named "Futaba Ramen" (屋台双葉ラーメン). It was later re-named "Ichiran"（一蘭 "one orchid"）in 1966. After three decades of serving ramen from a single location, under the leadership of CEO Manabu Yoshitomi it opened its first concept store in 1993, which became the blueprint for all future Ichiran ramen shop locations. The restaurant is distinctive for serving ramen to customers in individual booths along a counter, with a curtain separating the customer from the staff.
