With Link Co. Ltd.

About Us

Founded in 1992, With Link Co. Ltd. began its journey in the restaurant industry, creating innovative dining experiences that resonate with food lovers. In 2003, we introduced our signature ramen brand, BARI-UMA, in Hiroshima, Japan, with a singular mission: to craft rich, flavorful ramen that delights even the most discerning palates.

Our BARI-UMA ramen boasts a deeply savory pork-based broth, flame-grilled chashu (roast pork), and perfectly textured noodles. Over the years, we’ve refined our recipe to perfection, earning widespread affection across Japan.

Our reputation extends far beyond Japan’s borders. Internationally, BARI-UMA has earned high praise, with our Singapore outlet receiving accolades such as the Singapore Top 25 and the Food Excellence Award for its exceptional taste and service.

Why Franchise?

In recent years, With Link Co. Ltd. has accelerated its global expansion, particularly across Southeast Asia. In October 2024, we proudly opened our first European location in Scotland, marking a new milestone in our international growth. Currently, BARI-UMA operates 71 stores across 8 countries, and we continue to grow as a leading international ramen brand, known for our commitment to quality, consistency, and authenticity.

We are now seeking passionate franchise partners who share our vision of spreading the authentic, high-quality flavors of Japanese ramen worldwide.
