About the Author

Having fallen hard for ramen culture after an early 2019 trip to Japan, Luke Findlay started a ticketed ramen supper club held in his Hackney home - six people a time, three sittings a night, one style, everyone eating the same bowl. Three years later, having collected a cult following on social media, Supa Ya Ramen manifested a permanent home in which to serve its signature bowls of untraditional ramen toppings and broths. The 20-seater bar on Kingsland Road, Dalston is worth queueing up for in the seemingly perpetual but fast-moving line of eager patrons. Luke opened his second Supa Ya site in Peckham in 2022 and has ambitions to expand into further cities around the UK and overseas.

Reviews

“This book made me want to slurp up a comforting bowl of ramen. In a down-to-earth style, Luke tells a story of his journey through the world of ramen as if he was chatting with me at his Supa Ya shop. Eclectic, playful and delicious.” – Yotam Ottolenghi “Imaginative, warming and always wacky, this tome cracks the code for making unique broth at home.” – ES Magazine “Supa Ya Ramen has a verve, simplicity and slurpable magic that feels, thrillingly, like the future.” – Jimi Famurewa, Evening Standard “A perfectly imperfect take on fusion food.” – Kate Ng, The Independent “There’s a lot of ramen places in London, but there’s nowhere quite like Supa Ya.” – Jake Hawes, About Time Magazine
