We are very proud of these hand-crafted mazemen bowls made by a craftsman from Chef Haraguchi's home town. We wanted to share with you some photos of the bowls and the process of making them. Thank you, Murasawa-San, for the beautiful work!
We are very happy to make a few of these bowls available to our amazing supporters through a new rewards tier.
Thank you so much to everyone who has even just seen this page and shared it with a friend. Our kickstarter campaign has been hugely successful and we owe it all to you. Thanks to your overwhelming support, we will be able to do our Ramen Omakase seatings next month. We are working on setting up our ticketing/scheduling site and kashikiri donors will be able to schedule very soon, followed by the rest of our kickstarter backers.
We are overjoyed by your responses and cannot wait to serve you our best. Thank you all for this opportunity to delight and surprise our guests.

Hand-crafted Mazemen Bowl - Please see our recent update for photos! We would like to present one of our hand-crafted mazemen bowls to those who back us at this tier. These bowls were specially designed by a craftsman in Utsunomiya, Japan for serving mazemen. They are part of a limited set made specially for YUJI Ramen. Because they are fragile, we are very hesitant to ship this reward and would much prefer our backers at this tier collect this reward and receive our thanks in person.
