Yokohama iekei ramen shops closing amid cost pressures

Original: 横浜家系ラーメン

Long-running Yokohama-style iekei ramen shops, including establishments with over ten years of history, are reported to be going out of business one after another. Rising labor and ingredient costs are said to be squeezing the ramen industry, forcing even established and mid-tier shops to close. The trend is drawing attention in Japan as a sign of consolidation within the sector.

Why now: Reports that established ramen restaurants are going bankrupt due to soaring labor and food costs have drawn attention to the fate of the popular iekei style.
