{  Ippudo Premium Member  }

I recently became a Ippudo Premium Member! sigh*

As I illustrated above, you have to clear 3 stages in order to become a premium member. You have to eat a total of 60 bowls of ramen during a limited period of time to get your Premium Member’s card. I just want to clarify that I did NOT eat all 60 by myself… My friends and family gave me some of their stamps :p

When you clear each of the stages, you get some sort of perk for completing it. For the first few stages, you get a small booklet with coupons for free stuff like kaedama (extra noodles) and half gyoza. Once you clear the final level and become Premium status though, you can take up to 3 guests with you and (all of us) can enjoy a free kaedama or a free topping (flavored egg) every time you visit Ippudo for a year. Note that this is only applicable to the Ippudo Japan locations.

I also received an amazing Premium Gift Package (shown in the pictures above)! It included all of the following items:

– Ippudo ceramic bowl that says “Thank You!” at the bottom
– Ippudo original chopsticks
– Ren-geh (Chinese spoon)
– Ippudo towel
– Ippudo ramen home set (comes with akamaru and shiromaru with an extra kaedama!)
I’m very pleased with this generous gift set that they provide to their loyal customers.

一風堂プレミアムメンバー入りしました！

期限内に60杯のラーメンを食べると仲間入りできるメンバーカードです。私はもちろん一人でではなく…友達や家族のポイントを頂きながらここまでたどり着きました。バリ、バリバリ、バリスゴメンバーを突破すると、一風堂プレミアムメンバーカードと『一風堂プレミアムセット』が自宅に届きます。プレミアムセットの中身は：

・お土産ラーメン生スープ赤・白(2食入)(替え玉つき！)
・一風堂どんぶり
・オリジナル箸
・れんげ
・一風堂手拭い

すごすぎる！！しかも一風堂へ来店ごとに、所持者+同伴者3名まで替え玉か半熟塩玉子サービスという太っ腹サービスもつくのです。さて、さっそくラーメンが食べたくなってきました。笑
