Katsuaki Suzuki, owner of Ramen Suzukiya, passed away earlier this month at the age of 67.
After his retirement in 2014, Kei fulfilled one of his dreams by moving to Maine and opening Ramen Suzukiya with his son, Cory. His handcrafted organic noodles were his passion and he loved the opportunity to create a space for customers to enjoy his craft. Kei will be remembered as the kindest man who never hesitated to reach out to those in need. He loved his family and fought a vicious cancer for over a year in order to have more time to spend with them. The world was certainly a better place with him here.
Such a nice man and such a great bowl of noodles.
He was a great guy. He will be missed.
We have a great memory of being here with our daughter, and it was a pleasure watching him work in the kitchen. Such sad news.
