Eiraku Ramen is operated by Mr. Heng Cheng Gong Ying, whose background as a coffee and gourmet brand producer and apprentice to his grandmother’s Kurume tonkotsu ramen back home has given him unique insights and dedication to food. Committed to promoting natural cuisine, through an introduction by a Taiwanese friend, he connected very well with Taipei’s Jinan Fresh Soup Dumplings. Future plans for Eiraku Ramen to open shops in Taiwan, and for Jinan Fresh Soup Dumplings to enter the Japanese market, are just around the corner.

The “Kurume Ramen” from Eiraku Ramen originates from the flavors of Kyushu. In Showa 46 (1971), Mr. Heng’s grandparents founded the shop in Kokura, northern Kyushu. Its rich yet not overly heavy tonkotsu broth is its signature, paired with firm yet springy handmade noodles and char siu that is flavorful and not overly soft — all incredibly delicious. In 2017, it entered both the Taiwanese ramen and Japanese food markets, giving ramen enthusiasts in Taiwan another great option.
