The story of Ajitama 🍜 began in late 2015, with two long-time friends, António Carvalhão and João Azevedo Ferreira 👬, who had lived in Asia 🌏 and spent a lot of time in Japan 🇯🇵, where they ended up falling in love ❤️ with the most popular dish in Japan: Ramen 🍜. When they arrived in Portugal 🇵🇹, they had no way of enjoying their favourite dish, and in order to satisfy their craving, they embarked on a 13-month self-taught journey 📚👨🍳, which ended when they managed to develop a recipe for a Ramen that reminded them of their original experiences in Japan 🇯🇵. The next step was the opening of a Supper Club at António's house 🏠 where, for a year and a half, they prepared their Ramen for hundreds of people, every Saturday night 🌙🍲. Faced with an increasingly demanding waiting list 📝, they decided it was time to open their own restaurant, Ajitama Ramen Bistro 🏮🍜, and expand their ramen offering, having taken a Ramen Chef course at the best school in Tokyo, Rajuku 🎓, led by sensei Takeshi Koitani 👨🏫. With their baggage full of new Japanese trends 🛄🇯🇵, they wanted the restaurant space to be emblematic, to transport people to Japan 🚀🇯🇵 and to creatively represent their favourite topping: the Ajitama egg 🥚🎨. The wooden shapes present in the place display artistic interpretations of the eggs with architectural features of traditional and urban Japan 🏯🌆.
