Famous Japanese ramen restaurant, Ichiran, earlier this month formally announced it will open its first restaurant in Taiwan on June 15 in Taipei’s Xinyi District — and the restaurant will stay open 24 hours a day.
A wave of ramen restaurants from Japan have opened up shop in Taiwan in recent years, so that the arrival of Ichiran to Taiwanese shores has been hotly anticipated for some time. As for the price, the restaurant’s famous Tonkotsu Ramen, made from natural pork-bone soup, will cost diners NT$288 and a “noodle refill” will cost NT$58.
In order to counteract the different climatic conditions of Taiwan, Ichiran says it has installed a “noodle production specialist” who resides permanently in Taiwan and makes adjustments according to temperature and humidity on a daily basis to produce perfect, made-to-order fresh Ichiran noodles. Furthermore, the company says all the other ingredients used are authentic and original.

In addition, so that Taiwanese customers can experience the atmosphere of a Japanese Ichiran restaurant, like its stores in Japan, the Taipei outlet will provide “flavor-concentration booths,” the same Ichiran ordering system and a “noodle refill” service.

News Digest: Putting the “art” in artificial intelligence 新聞文摘︰藝術界新危機？AI畫作奪得比賽首獎 Controversy was stirred up in the art community last year when the digital painting “Theatre D’opera Spatial” by Jason Allen was awarded first place in the Colorado State Fair’s annual art competition. The striking work features three figures dressed in long robes, standing against a large circular window in an intricately detailed room. Impressive though it is, Allen didn’t use a traditional digital painting program (such as Photoshop or Procreate) to create it. He opted instead to generate the work by using an artificial intelligence (AI) program called Midjourney. With this program, the user need only input a text prompt
In the United States and many other countries, the government guarantees a certain amount of each customer’s deposits in the event of a bank failure, to protect both consumers and the broader financial system. With the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank and the US government backstopping all deposits at those firms, here is the state of play of deposit insurance in the United States: WHAT IS THE US DEPOSIT INSURANCE LIMIT? Currently, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) guarantees deposits of up to US$250,000 per person, per bank. That limit was enshrined in law by the 2010 Dodd–Frank Wall Street
