Satoko Morimoto

"I want to spread the culture of women being able to eat ramen alone." With that thought in mind, she started eating out 20 years ago. She is a ramen-loving woman who has traveled to all 47 prefectures and eats more than 600 bowls a year. While there are many male ramen freaks, she is also known for her ramen life, which includes working as a TV personality and maintaining her figure. She organized "Ramen Girls' Gathering," renting out popular ramen shops, and in 2015 held the "1st Ramen Girls Expo" at the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse. The event, which brings together popular shops from all over the country, was later held in Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, Kumamoto, and Shizuoka, attracting a total of approximately 750,000 people. In 2018, she founded Ramen Switch Co., Ltd. and released the world's first ramen jewelry brand, "ZURU+.". She produced and published "NOODLE SAKE -Spring, Autumn, Winter-" and "Rice and Agave Ramen-only Craft Sake," and "Tokyo Ramen Collection" (Shobunsha).
