Hidden Gems: Meet Kenichi Ota of KC Craft Ramen

I have always had a passion for ramen. I came to the U.S. in 2004 and worked at a Japanese supermarket for 10 years, during which time I made and sold ramen, attracted customers, and engaged in other related activities.
I was more than happy to hear people say how delicious the ramen I made was!
In 2016, I opened the first ramen restaurant, but I had to leave the restaurant due to visa reasons and left the U.S . for a year. After returning to the U.S from Japan., I contemplated how I could spread delicious ramen throughout the country. I decided that the fastest way to achieve this was to increase the number of ramen shops serving delicious ramen. As a consultant, I have been independent for six years and have supported more than 20 ramen stores, increasing the number of stores serving delicious ramen. Now, I am ready to open my own ramen store, where I can incorporate all of my knowledge and create a restaurant where people will be pleased. I chose Kansas as the location from all over the U.S.

I researched all over the U.S., and when I first came to Kansas, I thought it was the best place to live, and I came across my current property first. I thought it was fate! It was love at first sight. Since this was my first time opening a restaurant, I had a lot of trouble with the real estate contract, especially with the construction. Construction did not proceed as expected and the situation was terrible., So that is why I went to the site every day to paint, hang ceilings, and work with them to get the work done as quickly as possible! I thought the end would never come.
