Inggit Rianto is from Indonesia, but came to the US to goto the University of Arkansas. He had been in the corporate world for a good while before getting the itch to open a restaurant with his wife. How did he learn to cook? He’ll tell us.
They’d opened Ramen Nara in Rogers, and it had been open for a blink of an eye before covid hit. He’ll tell the story of how they stayed open during that time.
He got the itch to open a new Ramen place in Washington County, and he’ll tell you how downtown Springdale won out the services of Menya Kitakara.
Speaking of Kitakara, how did they land on that name?
We hear it all and much more with Inggit Rianto from Menya Kitakara next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
