World’s First IPPUDO | MAiSEN Combined Concept Outlet Opens at The Gardens Mall, Malaysia

March 1, 2025 by StrawberrY Gal

Malaysia is set to make culinary history as the world’s first-ever IPPUDO | MAiSEN combined concept store celebrates its official launch at The Gardens Mall on 25th February 2025. This groundbreaking combined concept brings together two iconic Japanese brands, IPPUDO, renowned for its authentic tonkotsu ramen, and MAiSEN, the No.1 Tonkatsu Restaurant in Japan. Together, they offer a complete and unique dining experience that combines the synergy of both brands under one roof.

Best of Japanese Tonkatsu & Tonkotsu Ramen

The IPPUDO | MAiSEN concept is a celebration of Japan’s culinary excellence, blending the rich, flavourful tonkotsu ramen of IPPUDO with MAiSEN’s expertly crafted tonkatsu. Each dish is a testament to the brands’ dedication to quality and their commitment to preserving Japan’s revered food traditions. This innovative concept allows diners to indulge in the best of both worlds—savouring IPPUDO’s hearty, umami-packed ramen and MAiSEN’s crispy, tender pork cutlets in a single dining experience.

A Milestone for Malaysian Food Culture

“We couldn’t be more thrilled and honoured to launch the world’s first IPPUDO | MAiSEN combined concept restaurant here in Malaysia,” said Donald Lim, director of both franchises in Malaysia. “Malaysians love Japanese food and for many who do travel there, enjoying heritage cuisine is a big part of any visit. Combining IPPUDO’s iconic tonkotsu ramen with Japan’s famous MAiSEN tonkatsu will resonate deeply with such customers. It’s an honour to debut this concept here and we are delighted to have with us representatives from both MAiSEN and IPPUDO here for the official launch at The Gardens Mall.”

A Legacy of Culinary Excellence

IPPUDO first arrived in Malaysia in February 2013, opening its debut outlet at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. Since then, it has become a household name for its authentic tonkotsu ramen. Over the past decade, IPPUDO has grown to become a cornerstone of Japan’s ramen culture in the country.

MAiSEN, made its Malaysian debut in 2023 at Sunway Pyramid, captivating diners with its signature tonkatsu, so tender it could be cut with chopsticks. The overwhelming response solidified MAiSEN’s place in the hearts of Malaysians.

Building on this success, this combined concept with IPPUDO and MAiSEN marks an exciting new chapter. Through the reopening at The Gardens Mall, IPPUDO brings its total number of outlets in Malaysia to 12, and MAiSEN to 2. Together, IPPUDO | MAiSEN aims to elevate Malaysia’s dining scene by bringing together the finest of Japanese culinary craftsmanship with this innovative concept.  

A Curated Culinary Experience

At IPPUDO | MAiSEN, guests can look forward to a carefully curated menu that highlights the best of both brands:
