IEKEI

The Iekei bloodline, from Yokohama.

Read Iekei ramen as culture — through training, independence, direct lines, and inspirations.

Ramen is culture. Record the history of taste.

CULTURE FLOW

Mainline · Branch · Independent · Capital

Not ranking, just the flow.

Mainline: Direct continuation of the origin — authorized or directly mentored.
Branch: Trained-at lines and spin-offs. Lineage runs deep; taste diverges.
Independent: Iekei-style shops that reinterpret the culture outside the mainline lineage.
Capital: Brand- or franchise-operated lines. Discussed on a separate axis from cultural lineage.
