Smorgasburg Week 1 - Shoyu Ramen Burger™...

This Saturday, August 3rd, the Shoyu Ramen Burger™ will make its debut at Smorgasburg in Willamsburg, Brooklyn. Limited to only 100 Ramen Burgers™, this fresh USDA Prime Burger Maker patty glazed with a secret shoyu sauce and sandwiched between scallions, arugula, and two craftily formed buns made from Sun Noodle's freshly cut ramen noodles won't last long. Trust me, you will want to try this. So please, if you are in the neighborhood or have nothing to do on Saturday...IRASSHAIMASE!!

And don't forget to pick up a t-shirt!! Designed by yours truly! haha.

And just as a quick tutorial, your Ramen Burger™ will come wrapped in this amazing technology called PleatPak.

Once you open it, just tear out the white sheet and begin chlurping! (chomp+slurp=get it?)

The mess stays in the PleatPak and not on your hands. And feel free to drink the leftover soup!!

A big thanks to everyone involved that made this happen. See you on Saturday!!

The next big thing...

Dear friends,

I truly appreciate the support that you've given me--the uplifting comments, the encouraging emails, and the overwhelming messages of support. What happened is unfortunate, but it is now in the past and I'm ready to move on. So let me ask you, are you ready to move with me?

For years I've obsessed over a certain food item and always wondered how I could make it work. Yes I've been obsessed with ramen since I was a kid, but shockingly that's not the food item I'm referring to (well at least half of it isn't). If you've followed along closely to my blog, you may have seen it pop up every now and then. But even then I didn't have the tools to make it what it is now. So without further ado, let me introduce to you my new obsession:

The Ramen Burger™

A famous friend once told me "A burger isn't a burger if it ain't beef!" So I got inspired and created a REAL Ramen Burger™. And now it's time to feed it to you! 

Not only did I grow up loving ramen, I also grew up loving burgers.

So stay tuned for an announcement of where you can get it!!

The next step...moving on...

Dear friends,

With one project having come to an abrupt end, it is time to move on the only way I know how. It is time to pull whatever I have up my sleeve and run with it. In the coming weeks and months, I will take full advantage of my time in New York and work with select ramen shops to inch closer to the ultimate goal, even if it means starting back at square one. Life has many ups and downs, but our default choice is to live through them. We make mistakes then we correct them so we can live to slurp another day. I have no excuses, nor will I ever give up. Forevermore, I will only follow where I hope to lead.

Thank you.

Keizo
