Item Description
A second giftcard is now available (11/30/2016)! Bid on both and treat your family or friends to a great night of Ramen!
It’s become an annual tradition for Itani, who has traveled there every year for the last 10 years, methodically making and eating his way through all 47 of the country’s prefectures. It’s also where he fell in love with ramen, inspiring him to open his own place in Uptown Oakland nearly four years after launching his first restaurant, Hopscotch, around the corner.
His familiarity with Japan and its unique ramen culture is also what guides his more laissez faire attitude on what’s become a cult dish in the Bay Area, one that local foodies have been known to obsessively search out and deconstruct ingredient by ingredient.
To which Itani says: Relax. In Japan, he points out, ramen is seen as more of a quick, casual meal—something to nosh on after work or to soak up the booze after a night of drinking—rather than a solemn dining experience. Read more on SF Gate' Inside Scoop with Kyle Itani.
