Eboshi Ramen Bar was founded by Mike Kusakabe, a former Asahi Beer employee. Mike ran Eboshi for years as a ramen izakaya restaurant before retiring and selling to good family friends of his, the Morimoto family. Both Mike and the Morimotos are from Chigasaki, Kanagawa. In Chigasaki there is a famous beach which has an iconic island rock named "Eboshi." Most of the current chefs and staff have been working at the restaurant for over 15 years, Mike’s original recipes are said to be still protected to this day. Open since 1994. @eboshiramen
