  • According to Datassential, ramen has a much more significant appeal consumers under 35. While ramen’s overall menu presence across the board is still low, it’s gone up 49% in four years.
  • Ramen’s potential lies within its name recognition, thanks to popular instant-noodles. However, that name recognition carries a stigma. High-quality, well-prepared Japanese ramen is anything but inexpensive or instant.
  • Ramen’s first popularity wave within the U.S. took place in primarily full-service restaurants. In Japan, this is quite the opposite. Ramen is limited-service.
