The Core Concept

RAKKAN’s core concept is “Changing the world’s cuisine through RAKKAN Ramen.” The menu is built around a 100% plant-based broth designed to be satisfying and flavorful while appealing to vegan-preferred and health-conscious guests, families, and older adults.

About Our Food

RAKKAN is a focused ramen shop serving authentic Japanese ramen. The broth is built to amplify flavor with a “dashi bomb,” using carefully chosen vegetables and RAKKAN’s own fermented seasonings to bring out rich umami—without using meat or seafood in the broth.

About Umami and RAKKAN’s Broth

Umami is a key element of RAKKAN’s flavor approach, commonly associated with fermented seasonings in Japanese cuisine. RAKKAN’s umami broth highlights ingredients such as kombu (kelp) dashi, mushrooms, onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot to create depth and satisfaction in every bowl.

What Makes RAKKAN Unique

• Top-quality fermented seasoning: Flavor-forward seasonings rooted in Japanese culinary tradition.
• Water: Emphasis on purified water as an important ramen ingredient.
• Noodles: Noodles made specifically for RAKKAN recipes.

Our Strength

RAKKAN uses 100% plant-based broth for all ramen soups, avoiding pork or chicken bone stocks. This supports a distinct market position with a diverse menu and healthy options while still delivering the rich, satisfying experience ramen fans crave. 

Operations and Support

RAKKAN emphasizes a simple operation designed to be learned through an initial training program, and provides support for market research and site selection activities (support may vary by region). The brand supports both single-unit and multi-unit franchise development (availability may vary by region).

Service and Aftercare
