Ichiran is all about minimal interaction solo dining.

Solo dining is becoming popular, but the ramen chain Ichiran has been encouraging it since 1993.

I just love eating alone... no need to chit-chat and small talk to the others at the table. I like just being with myself, and enjoy a good lunch. Sometimes I get a weird look when they ask me if I'm waiting for someone or if I would like the newspaper. When I decline, they usually ask me if I'm "ok", or give me a weird look!

Just leave me alone... I like it that way.
