Founded in 2004 by Mr. Satoshi Ikuta, Nagi Universal Noodle Ramen is a small chain of Japanese ramen restaurants located in Japan, USA, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines. Mr. Ikuta, who had trained in various classic Hakata ramen shops, began with the practice known as aida kari – borrowing bar space one day a week to run a guerilla ramen shop. Ikuta pulled his indie ramen up by the bootstraps, first winning a contest for a spot in Tokyo’s famous Tachikawa Ramen Square noodle theme park, then opening a successfully shop in Shibuya before opening another shop in Shinjuku Golden G*i in 2008. Today, Ramen Nagi has over 35 locations, with its first USA location in Palo Alto.
