* Comments from Takahiro Matsumura, CEO of UNCHI Corporation

Hello everybody! Nice to meet you. I dreamed of opening a ramen shop when I was

10 years old and was able to do so at the age of 24. Ten years have passed, and

now I am working every day with the dream of being the first to open a ramen

store on the planet Mars. People around me often think it’s a bit of a crazy

dream, but this project really means that my brand will actually be launched

into space. I hope to be able to showcase this joy of being close to Mars at the

Osaka-Kansai International Expo. We hope you will continue to pay attention to

the UNCHI Corporation’s mission “Change the world with the power of ramen",

which aims to generate excitement and time for you to think about your own

dreams.
