Our history

RAMEN BY ORIGINE is the result of a meeting between two Japanese chefs: TOMOFUMI UCHIMURA & TAKAYUKI NAGAHARA.

Tomofumi Uchimura arrived in France in 2007 and started his classes with the very famous Chef Emmanuel Renault in his 3-star restaurant "Le flocon de Sel" until 2010. He will continue to evolve in French gastronomy by spending 9 years with by chef Eric Pras, also three-starred at the “LAMELOISE” restaurant in Chagny (71). He will end up as Deputy Chef.

On the strength of these experiences in these great French houses, the Chef decided to establish himself in Dijon by buying the house "Stéphane Derbord" from the eponymous Chef to offer traditional, gourmet and generous cuisine.

But, the nostalgia for his roots, and his years spent far from his origins have definitely convinced him to create a new universe of Japanese inspiration in the heart of the Burgundian capital in which he has recently established himself.

It is with his long-time friend, chef Takayuki Nagahara, that they imagined the recipes for Ramen, Gyozas and other Japanese specialties that are offered to you in our establishment.

These are tasty and authentic recipes, which we hope will awaken you to Japanese flavors!
