History and origins

Founded in 1958, Maruboshi Ramen serves Ramen made with a whole pig 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Its innovative business style and delicious Ramen are said to have captivated long-distance truck drivers, who are picky about the taste of Ramen, and made Kurume Ramen famous nationwide.
The founder, Gosaburo Hoshino, played a key role in increasing the number of Ramen fans and Ramen shops by securing land along a national highway, which was a key distribution point, and making Ramen during a period of great economic growth. Incidentally, according to the company history, Maruboshi Ramen was the model for the legendary hit product "Yatai Ramen" created in 1969 by Marutai, Kyushu's leading instant noodle manufacturer.
