Ramen has always been a staple of daily life and casual conversation in Japan. Walking down the streets of Japan, you often hear people talking about things like 'a new ramen shop just opened' or 'the taste or quality at that ramen place has changed,' which shows just how integral it is to Japanese life and diet. In recent years, Taiwan has also seen a surge in ramen fever, with many local ramen shops opening up, each showcasing regional specialties. Now, the Tokyo-style "Setagaya Ramen Setagaya-ya" has joined the scene, officially beginning trial operations on March 9th as it vies for a share of Taiwan’s ramen market.

Setagaya Ramen has been in business for 15 years in Japan and already has numerous branches. In 2014, Setagaya Ramen set up a booth at Tokyo Crazy Kawaii in Taiwan, winning over customers with its rich tonkotsu soy sauce broth. This success laid the foundation for its plans to expand into Taiwan. The first Taiwan branch is located at No. 15, Lane 27, Lane 216, Zhongxiao East Road, Section 4, Da’an District, Taipei, and began trial operations at 11:00 AM on March 9th, with the official grand opening on March 24th.
