If you’ve not heard of James Chant or Matsudai Ramen, then quite frankly, you’ve been living under your rock for far too long ha!

In short, he gave up a career in the music industry to follow his love of Ramen and the geekery that comes with it.

There’s currently a lot of eyes on James and his team, all anticipating the opening of their first permanent restaurant next month.

Matsudai is being featured in a magazine I’m involved with, so I managed to swing by the pop up they were operating in Cardiff’s legendary Milkwood Cafe.

As expected, on arrival, the dining room was being engulfed by ramen fans whilst the kitchen settled in to the beautifully orchestrated dance of service.
