By the way, on Friday, April 17, it looks like there will also be a stage event featuring Tomoharu Shoji, who has been appointed as a 2026 Koshien Gourmet Ambassador🎤 Getting to try ramen from all over Japan, including miso, tonkotsu, chicken paitan, mazesoba, and shellfish dashi, sounds pretty exciting.
