However to achieve such level of authenticity and quality Zuru Zuru Ramen first had to solve one of the biggest issues all ramen shops are facing — noodles.
“Zuru Zuru Ramen” owner:
“It’s so difficult to get good quality noodles in Europe, and they’re never fresh. They’re always frozen, and either very expensive varieties imported from Japan, or a cheap produce of poor quality. The long importing distributing chain doesn’t stroke with my vision, and is not sustainable at all. All fresh noodles from Europe are more like pasta than Japanese noodles, and thus change the authentic feeling and flavor of the dish completely.
Because I have known about Yamato since the time I was working as a ramen chef, I contacted them for information on a noodle machine, and they arranged an online demo for me where I could see the machine’s capabilities and ask any the questions I had.
By deciding to purchase the machine I made a calculated investment towards the future. The delivery time was several months, but considering it was shipped directly from Japan, it’s not that bad”
