After the project was completed, the family settled in Abiko, Chiba Prefecture. Yuta was an artsy boy. \u201cFor me it was fun creating things with my own hands.\u201d After high school he pursued photography and cinematography at the university for one year. But student life soon bored him. He left and made music video production his first business. Since then his business pivoted a few times until he hugely succeeded in e-commerce. But that did not stop him. \u201cAs I was doing internet business, I thought we need to do something analogue.

The latter brought him to meet the Bib Gourmand ramen master Mr. Hideto Kawahara as the only two Japanese participants at an exclusive EDM party in Miami.<br \/>\nSix years later Mr. Tomiyasu asked his life senpai (senior) for help to set up a truly authentic ramen restaurant in Amsterdam. Big brother said yes.
