The Art and Precision of Japanese Ramen

Arjun Adhikari has a vision to mitigate this gap and he introduced genuine Japanese Ramen in Kathmandu.

The overwhelming comment that keeps the team going is the Japanese customers expressing that the ramen reminds them of Home. He expressed the openness to experiment with flavors that appeal to Nepalese palate by adding Nepali spices or local toppings which keep the essence of Ramen intact.
