I've heard raving reviews for Harvest's.
I source my noodles from the same place.

Well..... making ramen is a pain in the ass.
Even if you're a pro at it, it's still a lot of work.

Somehow I seriously doubt that they make the tonkotsu master stock on site.

Santouka has a lot of stuff brought into their Vancouver location.
Next time you're there, notice the piles and piles of boxes on your way to the washroom.
If I remember correctly, the shipping label said California somewhere.
Which makes sense. They have 6 locations there.
Shop Locations?Santouka Ramen

If a chain like that was going to employ a single ramen "master" for North America, he probably wouldn't be in Vancouver.

My assumption is that the master stock is shipped in.
While the daily broth is done on site along with the condiments and char siu.

Or I could be talking out of my assand only the shoyu, miso and noodles are brought in.
