RAMEN TEH tells the story of Masato, a young ramen chef from Takasaki in Japan who embarks on the journey to Singapore, attempting to piece together his past by tracing memories of his Singaporean mother who passed when he was just 10-years old.
Filming has commenced in Singapore; apart from the moving story, audiences are expected to be in for a visual treat – whereby elements of both local and Japanese’ glorious and unique food (culture) will be authentically presented. Renowned Chef Keisuke Takeda and Singapore food blogger-connoisseur Dr Leslie Tay of ieatishootipost were also invited to share their knowledge to nail the culinary scenes.
Produced by Zhao Wei Films, Wild Orange Artists and distributed by Clover Films in Singapore, RAMEN TEH is slated for release in second quarter of 2018.
