History and origins

Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture, has a culture of Morning ramen. The original Ramen shop was Marunaka, founded in 1919. Kiichi Oguri started out as a nighttime soba noodle stand in Yaizu, and opened a Ramen restaurant in 1935. Although it was open both during the day and at night, being located in a tea-producing region and as a market and distribution hub, many people wanted to eat something early in the morning, so morning Ramen was born. The original idea at the time was to create Ramen with a taste similar to the soba noodles familiar to Japanese people, with a refreshing flavor.
