Hokkaido Ramen Sdn Bhd

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is the first Ramen chain from Japan in Malaysia. We have been operating since 2011 at Pavilion KL and are currently looking to expand our young and dynamic team. 

History of Ramen Santouka:

One day, after watching Tampopo—a hit Japanese comedy, that featured, about a quirky ramen establishment—SANTOUKA’s founder, Hitoshi Hatanaka and his family stopped at a ramen shop for a quick meal. Unsatisfied with the taste of the shop’s ramen, Hatanaka declared that the next time he would be the one making ramen for his family. This simple proclamation marked the beginning of the now-legendary flavor of RAMEN SANTOUKA. 

Using the same recipe that won over his family, Hatanaka decided to open his own ramen shop in March 1988, in Asahikawa, located on Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido. The shop began modestly, with only 9 seats and one item on the menu—Shio Ramen (salt flavor),initially, the shop was just another ramen shop in a town famous for its tasty ramen, but once, the legendary taste of SANTOUKA was sampled, more and more hungry patrons soon followed. 

Driven by popularity, Ramen Santouka now operates in 60 locations in Japan, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Philippines. Even with many shops located throughout Japan and in select international cities, the fundamentals of RAMEN SANTOUKA remain to this day unchanged.
