What does Nanban mean? 


The term "Nanban" literally translates to "southern barbarian," and it has historical roots in the contact between Japan and the Portuguese traders and missionaries who arrived in the southern part of Japan during the Age of Exploration.

In the context of Japanese cuisine, "Nanban" refers to a cooking style that incorporates foreign or Western ingredients and flavors. 

While "Nanban" originally had connotations of foreignness, in the culinary sense, it has become a unique and well-loved style within Japanese cuisine, showcasing the country's ability to adapt and incorporate diverse influences into its culinary traditions.

We suppose that now you are wondering "why Nanban"? Well, long story short, you have probably guessed that our Ramen chef is Portuguese and our Ramen are crafted according to Japanese tradition and colored with a taste of Nanban inspirations.
