About Osaka Fukuchan
"Osaka Fukuchan" was born 39 years ago in May 1987. The first store, Tsukamoto store, is still in operation today. Our signature dishes were Tonkotsu ramen based on "Osaka Tonkotsu," which was carefully crafted to be easy for Osaka people to eat, and gyoza and yakimeshi, which have been loved since our founding. Since then, we have been cherished for many years as a "local ramen shop" that retains some vestiges of our founding Chinese cuisine.
Flagship Store Concept
The concept of the Tsurumi store, our first flagship store, is "fusion of past and future." While maintaining the existing brand image of being loved as a "local ramen shop" in a good sense, as in "Osaka Fukuchan is good enough," we have designed a future brand image as a "family ramen shop" that can be widely used by people of all ages, challenging a new form of "Osaka Fukuchan."
50th Anniversary Year
From June this year to May 2027, which marks our 50th anniversary, we plan to undertake various initiatives to give back as much as possible to our customers who have supported us for so long. Details will be announced as they become available.
