A Trip Down Memory Lane
Takumi Ramen was introduced to Europe 15 years ago by Mr. Saeki and Mr. Okada during their collaboration in Amsterdam. They shared a big dream to open their own ramen restaurant in Europe one day. During that time, Mr. Saeki came across noodles made in Sapporo and realized that this was what he wanted. When Takumi was ready for the grand opening, he brought Mr. Okada over to Germany. Their long-held dream became a reality at that moment. The first Takumi restaurant finally opened in January 2007 in Düsseldorf. Since then, ramen has become immensely popular as Japanese Soul Food and Takumi is thus spreading the love for Japanese cuisine from several countries in Europe.
Live events, win actions and challenges
In honour of the 15th anniversary of Takumi, a yearlong series of events, competitions and prizes will be organized. With the ‘Takumi on tour’ live events are organized in four different cities, where everyone is invited to come and enjoy favourite ramen. During the events Takumi ramen noodles organizes ramen challenges, exclusive merchandise is available and there are exciting prizes to be won. The first edition of the live events will take place on April 30 in Rotterdam and later in the year Takumi will travel further to Antwerp, Barcelona and Düsseldorf. Throughout the year, Takumi fans can enter a lottery, with which participants can win trips to Barcelona, Milan, Amsterdam every quarter of the year and, as a big hit, a 5-day trip to Japan. To have an extra chance of winning a trip to Japan, Takumi is launching a ‘Create your own ramen challenge’, where participants come up with their own Ramen recipe using the Nissin Takumi cup noodles and submit it via the website. Extra fun: the winning recipe will be featured as a special on the menu at selected Takumi restaurants for a month!
About Takumi
Takumi is a Japanese ramen restaurant founded in 2007 by Mr. Saeki and Mr. Okada. Ramen is the ultimate soul-food of Japanese cuisine, with Takumi being known for its authentic Sapporo Noodles. Takumi uses only original recipes and authentic spices that they specially import from Japan. Only the right noodles give the ramen its authentic flavour, which is why they come all the way from Japan’s northernmost region, Hokkaido, where they are produced and fermented under strict conditions to give the soups their strong, distinctive flavour. The ramen is on the menu in a variety of ways, with a broth of pork, chicken, or Miso or Shoyu as the base. In addition, you’ll find various side dishes like Gyoza, Kara-age and many more authentic side dishes on the menu. Takumi has grown over the past 15 years into a brand with its own merchandise. The chain now has 41 locations throughout Europe in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Hungary.
