Established in 2009 in the small town of Yukuhashi, Fukuoka, Japan, which is also Mr Kanada’s hometown – Kanada-Ya has since expanded to 16 outlets worldwide- 3 in Japan, 5 in London, 2 in Hong Kong, 1 in Spain, and now 5 in Singapore. Voted the number one ramen in London with numerous other accolades under their belt, Kanada-Ya’s story began when a chapter closed in Mr. Kanada’s life. A former professional keirin racer, brake-free bicycle racing was Mr. Kanada life until, a serious shoulder injury ended his sports career. Not succumbing to defeat, he went on to pursue the next thing he loved – ramen! A self-taught chef, Mr. Kanada’s breakthrough tonkotsu ramen came over a year later, after multiple experiments on pots full of broth, to what we get to delight in today at Kanada-Ya!
