That is true. Well the light rail runs along First St close to downtown SJ, so hopefully that will lead you in the right direction. :D

Asia/ OFF THE BEATEN TRACK: Chinese gyoza king smells gold in ramen
09/17/2005

By KEIKO YOSHIOKA

The Asahi Shimbun

HARBIN, China--Over centuries, scholars say, the Middle Kingdom influenced Japanese culture in myriad ways, including its religions, writing systems and, of course, noodles.

But now, an entrepreneur who owns a chain of shops serving gyoza (fried dumplings stuffed with minced pork) plans to start a chain of eateries in this Chinese city offering Japanese-style ramen.

Ma Songbo, 42, president of the Dongfang Jiaozi Wang (Eastern Dumpling King) chain, based in Harbin, said he has "fallen in love" with Japanese ramen.

On business trips to Tokyo, Osaka and other cities, he often ate up to 10 bowls of ramen a day, he said.

Ramen in Japan tastes a bit different from what he was used to at home, and Ma concedes he will likely have to alter the recipe slightly to suit the Chinese palate.

He won't reveal his recipe.

His first Japanese-style ramen shop will open in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, by the end of this year, followed by 300 more within three years.

Ma opened his fried gyoza chain 12 years ago. Since then, the successful businessman has expanded his investments to include education and cemetery management.

"My biggest problem is deciding what business to put my money in," Ma said.

He is now busy choosing where to open the ramen shops.(IHT/Asahi: September 17,2005)
