Expanding Niigata Ramen Culture: Naoji Uozu Store Opening

The beloved Niigata ramen brand, Naoji, is gearing up for a significant expansion in 2025. On June 1, a new franchise store named Naoji Uozu will officially open its doors in Uozu City, Toyama Prefecture. This marks an exciting milestone for the company, which aims to bring authentic Niigata flavors to a broader audience in the Hokuriku region.

Naoji is famously known for its signature dish, Backfat Chinese Noodles, which represents the finest of Niigata's ramen culture. The brand has also made a name for itself with its delightful Ginger Soy Sauce Ramen and Rich Miso Ramen, encapsulating the essence of Niigata's culinary traditions. With the Uozu location becoming the second Naoji outlet in Toyama Prefecture—following the already popular Namikawa store—the company is poised to delight an even larger customer base with its authentic offerings.

More Information.

Naoji's reputation as a leader in Niigata ramen is no accident. Since its founding in 2005, it has evolved from a small izakaya known as Old Dining Naoji in Niigata City. A bowl of their homemade ramen quickly garnered attention, leading to an influx of customers. Today, Naoji stands out as a significant player in the ramen scene, earning various awards and media features across television, magazines, and other platforms.

The new branch in Uozu continues the legacy of The Five Great Noodles of Niigata, particularly the Backfat Chinese Noodles. Naoji's signature ramen, Naojiro, remains a local favorite at its Namikawa store in Toyama. In addition, the Meat Noodles and Rich Miso Ramen are also beloved by fans. Beyond these staples, special limited-time offerings, such as the Oni Orochi, a ginger soy sauce ramen hailing from Nagaoka, have been featured in various media outlets.

As Naoji prepares to open in Uozu, it aims to cater to ramen enthusiasts and newcomers alike, ensuring everyone experiences the rich tapestry of flavors domestic to Niigata. With plans to further expand its reach, Naoji is dedicated to sharing the authentic tastes of Niigata and nurturing a culture of ramen appreciation throughout the nation.

For customers eager to indulge in the best of Niigata's ramen repertoire, Naoji Uozu will undoubtedly become a must-visit destination once it opens.
