A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 178 On today's episode, I'm joined by Leanne and Dave, the founders of Iron Ramen — Sydney's cult-favourite gluten free Japanese food truck. Their son's coeliac disease diagnosis, a deep love of Japanese food and culture, and a gap in the gluten free market all led to the creation of Iron Ramen — and since then, they've been winning over the coeliac and gluten free community one bowl at a time.I first tasted their incredible ramen at the Gluten Free Sydney Expo and instantly understood the hype — pulling off proper gluten free ramen is no easy feat! In this chat, we dive into their journey, the inspiration behind their menu, and the hard work and creativity it's taken to bring Iron Ramen to life.We cover:What Iron Ramen is and their mission to serve the coeliac communityHow their son's coeliac diagnosis changed everythingTheir lifelong love of Japanese food, culture, and creativityHow the idea for Iron Ramen came about (and the story behind the name!)The challenges of creating authentic gluten free ramen and Japanese fried dishesWhy they chose a food truck model and what it's really like running oneBuilding strong trust with the gluten free community and earning Coeliac Australia accreditationTheir best-selling dishes (spoiler: you'll be hungry by the end)Events and areas where you can find Iron RamenWhat's next for Iron Ramen and their collaborations with other gluten free businessesA moment that's had the biggest impact on their journey so farI loved this conversation with Leanne and Dave — not only because of their passion and creativity, but also because their story resonates so much with my own love for Japanese food, coeliac awareness, and heavy music (yes, the Iron Maiden-inspired name is no coincidence!).If you're in Sydney or see Iron Ramen at an event, do yourself a favour and go taste their food. It's businesses like this that are helping to grow and strengthen the gluten free community — one chat, and one bowl of ramen, at a time.Where to find Iron Ramen:

And my guest today is Toshio Shinko who is the fifth-generation owner of Marushin Honke in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.  The company was founded in 1881 and since then, it has produced high-quality traditional Japanese food products, such as miso and soy sauce.  In 2002, in addition to managing Marushin Honke, Toshio founded the new company Yuasa Shoyu, or Yuasa Soy Sauce https://www.yuasasyouyu.co.jp/yuasa_gb_front.html in English to pursue the highest quality of soy sauce that reflects the family tradition.Preserving tradition is hard and even harder is to keep it fresh in response to the fast-changing environments.  Toshio has been very successful in doing so and a great example is his innovative idea of making soy sauce in Bordeaux, France https://www.yuasasyouyu.co.jp/yuasa_gb.html in collaboration with the well-established Grand Cru winery Chateau Coutet in Saint Emilion.In this episode, we will discuss how Toshio's company produces premium soy sauce with wood barrels, which is rare these days, how he came up with the idea of making soy sauce in the French wine country, why the French winery wants to make soy sauce with Toshio, how his Bordeaux-made soy sauce is different, why French chefs love using it and much, much more!!!Here is a fabulous YouTube video, that captures how Toshio makes soy sauce with the French partner Adrien David Beaulieu, the owner of Chateau Coutet and his team.  https://www.marushinhonke.com/f/marushin(Scroll further down and click on “We want to spread Yuasa soy sauce to France!”)Here are some of the restaurants that uses Toshi's Bordeaux-made soy sauce:·       Maison nouvelle, Etchebest https://maison-nouvelle.fr/ ·       Lalique, Lafaurie Peyraguey Schilling  https://www.lafauriepeyragueylalique.com/en/michelin-starred-chef-jerome-schilling-unveils-his-autumn-menu/ ·       Skiff Club, Stéphane Carrade  https://haaitza.com/les-restaurants-cafe-bar-brasserie-restaurant-etoile-arcachon/ ·       Le Prince Noir, Vivien Durand  https://leprincenoir-restaurant.fr/ ·       L opidom etoilé Fondette  https://www.lopidom.fr/fr/
