Taishou was a former kitten model, who ran away from home and had a hard life on the streets…until the day he was saved by a kind ramen shop owner who later served as his mentor. Now
Taishou takes pride in his noodles…and is easily angered when customers are dissatisfied! So step aside, Soup Nazi – there’s a new cat in town!
Attention ramen aficionados, cat lovers and avid manga collectors: this book is for you. The first course of a sweet and surly manga treat!
Taishou is the dedicated owner and chef of a small ramen shop in Tokyo – and he’s also… a cat?! Though enthusiastic to run the best possible eatery, the feline’s cooking skills leave much to be desired – a fact that Tanaka-san, Taishou’s most frequent customer, experiences on a regular basis. With part time helpers such as a kleptomaniac bum, and schemes to bring in business such as serving a restaurant critic gourmet food instead of the usual swill, Taishou’s ramen shop is never a dull place to patronize or work at!
