The five-variety, 10-serving ramen set has become a popular Father’s Day gift, with more than 1,800 sets purchased last year. Takayama ramen is well known as a local specialty popular with tourists, but many Father’s Day orders come from across Japan, including customers with no particular connection to Hida Takayama. The appeal lies in Takayama ramen’s distinctive thin noodles and light soy sauce flavor. Customers choose it each year for reasons such as: “The light soy sauce flavor is just right for my father in his 70s,” “It is easy to send casually to a father who lives far away,” and “It is simple to prepare, so it does not burden the recipient.” Takayama ramen offers authentic fresh noodles in an easy-to-enjoy format. While alcohol and snacks are standard Father’s Day gifts, ramen is also a gift many men appreciate. It is easy to prepare and can be stored at room temperature for 120 days, allowing recipients to enjoy it whenever they like. The product is made by a long-established noodle maker in Hida and uses authentic fresh noodles. The main item in the set, Takayama ramen, differs from today’s trend toward rich and heavy ramen. It features thin noodles and a light soy sauce-based flavor. Easy to eat regardless of age and carrying a nostalgic taste, it is well suited for Father’s Day and is also recommended for elderly recipients. Takayama ramen, known for its thin curly noodles, is a local ramen long enjoyed in Hida Takayama. It lets recipients enjoy the taste of a travel destination at home, making it a small travel-like experience for fathers who live far away. The product comes with a Father’s Day sticker and will be delivered by the day before Father’s Day. Even those who are busy and tend to forget preparations can easily order through the online shop and reliably deliver their gratitude in time for Father’s Day. Hidakara Shoten has sold Takayama ramen assortments as Father’s Day gifts in previous years, with annual sales exceeding 1,800 sets. Buyers ha
