Takashi Endo, Master Chef (CEO)
Founded in Akita in 1994, Menya Ultra is an authentic Japanese ramen restaurant with its flagship store and nine affiliated locations operating in Japan. Driven by an uncompromising artisan spirit, founders Takashi and Daiki Endo brought their award-winning culinary legacy to San Diego with one goal: to serve the exact same flavor stateside that guests enjoy in Japan. To achieve this, they import premium Hokkaido wheat flour and special ramen sauces directly from their homeland. They even shipped specialized professional equipment, including their custom noodle-making machines, all the way to California. This extraordinary dedication allows them to craft fresh, MSG-free noodles and rich umami broth daily, perfectly replicating their MICHELIN-recognized quality locally. Today, at their Clairemont, Mira Mesa, and UTC locations, Menya Ultra continues to offer a truly authentic Japanese dining experience, one bowl at a time.
