A restaurant supervised by Saga City pork-bone ramen restaurant “麺家 ぶらっくぴっぐ” has opened in a Japanese-food food hall inside a Round One-operated facility in the Los Angeles suburbs. It operates under the name 渡豚 TOBUTA, with each bowl priced at approximately $19.99.
渡豚 TOBUTA, supervised by Saga City pork-bone ramen restaurant “麺家 ぶらっくぴっぐ,” has opened inside a Japanese-food food hall at an entertainment facility opened by major operator Round One in the Los Angeles suburbs. The food hall comprises 14 restaurants and is operated by Round One Entertainment, which provides recipes to the participating restaurants and receives royalties on a portion of their sales.
Each bowl of ramen is priced at $19.99, and efforts have been made to replicate the Japanese flavor, including the use of soy sauce from Saga. However, raw eggs were not offered because eating raw eggs is not customary in the US, and extra noodles were also omitted because of the operational difficulties involved. Matsuo Yoshiharu (松尾吉治) provided technical guidance to the local manager, and menu supervision was conducted after he traveled to the US.
