(Location: Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, CEO: Masaru Wakatabe) and Ramen Museum Co., Ltd. (Location: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, CEO: Hiroshi Iwaoka) will hold a joint event by the two companies, “Sano Ramen Preparatory School x Ramen Museum: Experience making authentic Sano ramen using green bamboo” on Saturday, August 2, 2025. For details, please see below. Background of this event In recent years, while ramen culture has become more diverse nationwide, traditional ramen-making techniques in each region are being lost. In particular, the “green bamboo pounding” that is the symbol of Sano ramen is becoming difficult to pass on due to its unique noodle-making technique, due to a lack of successors and the wave of mechanization. In this situation, Sano Ramen Preparatory School is working to pass on the green bamboo pounding technique to those who want to move to Sano City in order to pass on the pride of the region, Sano ramen, to the next generation. Meanwhile, the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum has been working to convey the history and culture of ramen since its opening in 1994, and in 2019 started a program where visitors can experience making noodles using the “Aodakeuchi” method. This time, the joint event was realized due to the shared desire to “share the charm of Aodakeuchi with more people.” At this event, we will be hosting a valuable opportunity to experience the fun and difficulty of traditional techniques, with the owner of the famous Sano ramen restaurant “Menya Yosuke,” Mr. Yosuke Tanabe, as the lecturer, who agreed with the purpose of the event. What is Sano Ramen? The clear soup made from the delicious water of Sano City, the high-quality wheat suitable for noodles, and the traditional noodle-making technique of beating noodles with green bamboo bring out a unique taste and richness. Many restaurants offer chewy, curly noodles in a clear soy sauce-based soup, and each restaurant has been working hard to improve their noodles. Ramen has been closely related to people’s lives, so it has a refreshing taste that you won’t get tired of even if you eat it every day. In the “Japan Local Ramen General Election,” it won the Kanto block preliminaries for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024, remaining in the top 10 finalists nationwide, and its popularity is increasing nationwide. Sano City currently has a population of about 112,000, but there are 150 ramen shops in the city. Moreover, Sano ramen has become an important tourist resource for Sano City, with long lines forming at each shop on weekends. In response to this situation, the city will implement a two-year initiative to visualize congestion at Sano ramen restaurants with government subsidies, starting in 2023. This will help reduce waiting times caused by congestion and increase the number of people visiting the city to eat Sano ramen.
