Our initiatives

Makimura Cares

"Makimura Cares" is our core belief that a bowl of ramen can serve as more than just a meal; it can offer comfort, hope, and connection. This promise extends beyond our kitchen, reflecting our commitment to nurturing our team and uplifting the communities we call home. Our philosophy is brought to life through active outreach, from planting trees for a greener future to championing the next generation through school partnerships and annual Brigada Eskwela efforts.

Brigada Eskwela: Embracing the Spirit of Bayanihan

Embracing the Filipino spirit of bayanihan, our team members volunteer their time and effort each year to participate in Brigada Eskwela. We work hand-in-hand with teachers, parents, and other community volunteers to clean, repair, and prepare public schools for the upcoming academic year. For us, this is more than just a program; it's a hands-on demonstration of our commitment to ensuring that every child has a safe, clean, and inspiring place to learn.

Your Bowl, Our Shared Mission

When you enjoy a meal at Makimura, you’re doing more than satisfying a craving—you're participating in a mission. We believe that a warm meal does more than just nourish the body; it fuels potential and empowers futures. Your support is the engine that drives our purpose, allowing us to serve not just our customers, but the very communities we call home. Every bowl you order helps us create stable, meaningful careers for our growing family of over 300 team members. It empowers us to invest back into our neighborhoods, whether by volunteering to prepare local schools for the leaders of tomorrow or by partnering with organizations to serve the immediate needs of the community. This is what it means to be a people-driven brand: to build a company where success is measured by the opportunities we create and the lives we touch.

Our Core Values: The Heart of Makimura

At Makimura, our actions are guided by a simple yet profound philosophy: Malasakit. This deep, genuine sense of care is the foundation of our identity and the promise we live by every day. It is reflected in our three core pillars.
