ABOUT US
About Our Founder — Kenji Yamamoto
Founder & Head Chef, My Vending Ramen King
Kenji Yamamoto was raised in the heart of Japan, where ramen is more than a dish — it is culture, history, and soul. From a young age, Kenji spent countless hours in his family’s small ramen shop, perfecting the art of broth, noodles, and hospitality. Guided by tradition and driven by innovation, he dedicated his life to mastering flavors that honor centuries-old craftsmanship while embracing technology for the future.
With over 20 years of culinary experience, Kenji set out to bring authentic Japanese ramen to people everywhere — fast, fresh, and unforgettable. His vision led to the creation of My Vending Ramen King, a revolutionary vending system that brings premium handcrafted ramen bowls to convenience stores, malls, airports, universities, and workplaces.
Kenji believes that great ramen begins with respect — for ingredients, for craft, and for the people enjoying it. Every recipe he creates is slow-crafted with rich broth, quality noodles, real toppings, and authentic Japanese technique. No shortcuts. No compromise. Just ramen made with pride.
“Ramen is a gift from the heart,” Kenji often says. “If it makes someone smile, I have done my job.”
Today, Kenji Yamamoto leads the brand as the face of tradition and flavor, ensuring every bowl served through My Vending Ramen King carries true Japanese authenticity — anywhere, anytime.
