Ramen Shokudo : Illustrations

  

"The noodles are the body

and the broth is the soul."

Commissioned illustration series as part of the

re-branding identity for Ramen Shokudo.

Ramen Shokudo : Logo & Branding Design

Logo and brand redesign for a local Japanese noodle house, Ramen Shokudo.

 

The chef's method of using handmade ingredients to serve food in contrast from the ready-made ones that are available in the nearest store is the essence of embracing and surviving the harsh contemporary while being deeply grounded and organic by its tradition.

 

The brand's principle inspired the development of the visual to represent pride and richness of the Japanese Ramen as the face of the brand as it welcomes the diners with warm and charm to share its authenticity and quality.

Yayas create a special bond with children whose parents are away eight hours daily, that special bond blurs the line of discrimination and social classes. Thus they have become a second parent to some children including me.
