History and origins

Founded in 1999 Genki Ippai! is a Ramen shop with no noren (shop curtain) or signboard, only open on days when a light blue bucket is placed in front of the store. Owner Kazuo Doi established the shop on his own, without any training. If you don't drink the Ramen soup first, you'll be kicked out. If you start with the noodles or takana, you'll be kicked out. Cell phones, photography, and reading are also prohibited. The shop has its own unique rules, and it's a fairly challenging place, but the overwhelming deliciousness of Ramen soup has earned it a loyal following. Since 2018, the rules have been relaxed, and photography is now permitted.
