We are pleased to introduce our latest case study featuring Kirimen — a Japanese ramen restaurant located at Le Thanh Ton, Ho Chi Minh City, marking the brand’s first overseas expansion by Double Co., Ltd., an experienced restaurant operator with more than 40 establishments.

Created around a distinctive culinary philosophy where “the noodles are the star,” Kirimen redefines the traditional ramen experience by highlighting the natural wheat aroma, distinct bite, and texture of its handmade noodles, complemented by artisanal Kaeshi fermented in traditional wooden barrels. From minimalist signature bowls like Kiridama to standardized processes in their dedicated central kitchen, Kirimen upholds rigorous craftsmanship, consistency, and respect for every ingredient.

To support efficient kitchen operations from its first store in Vietnam, Hoshizaki Vietnam provided kitchen equipment supply, installation, and dedicated after-sales services tailored to the restaurant’s operational requirements. Hoshizaki’s reliable equipment and professional local technical support help Kirimen maintain precise food safety standards, streamline kitchen workflows, and consistently deliver an authentic Japanese dining experience to every guest.
