She used to be affiliated with AKB48, Japan’s biggest idol group, but now ramen fans are the ones singing about her amazing noodles.
There’s a stereotypical image of a ramen restaurant owner in Japan. A middle-aged man, often with a somewhat gruff or world-weary aura, acquired from his days working as a salaryman or in some sort of blue-collar job, until he saved up enough money to open his ramen joint.
Some of those story beats also apply to Yagumo, a ramen restaurant that opened in Tokyo’s Katsushika Ward two years ago.
But Yagumo’s owner didn’t get into the ramen business after working as an accountant or a truck driver, but as an idol singer.
Yagumo founder/owner Mayuka Umezawa wasn’t affiliated with just any idol group, either. No, she was attached to AKB48, Japan’s number-one idol juggernaut.
