Card Collection System
Every check-in creates a unique ramen card—a digital memento of your visit combining your photo, shop details, and visit metadata.
How Cards Work
One Card Per Visit
Each time you visit a shop, you create a new card. Visit the same shop multiple times? You'll have multiple cards, each numbered sequentially.
Serial Numbers
Each shop has its own numbering sequence. If you're the 5th person to check in at a specific shop, your card will be #5 for that location.
Personalized
Your photo, custom bowl name, and selected tags make each card uniquely yours.
Saved Forever
Cards are stored in your account and sync across devices. Sign in with Google to keep your collection safe.
Achievement Badges
Earn badges by reaching milestones and completing lineages. There are 4 tiers of badges:
Bronze Badges
Beginner milestones for starting your journey
Example: First Bowl (1 check-in), Getting Started (3 shops)
Silver Badges
Intermediate achievements showing dedication
Example: Ramen Enthusiast (10 cards), Shop Explorer (10 shops)
Gold Badges
Advanced accomplishments and lineage completion
Example: Dedicated Collector (50 cards), Lineage Master badges
Platinum Badges
Ultimate achievements for true pilgrims
Example: Iekei Grand Master (complete all 7 lineages), Ultimate Collector (100 cards)
Lineage Master Badges
Complete all shops in a lineage to earn its Master badge:
Complete all Direct lineage shops
Complete the Musashiya family
Complete all Classic shops
Complete ALL 7 lineages
Collection Tips
Focus on One Lineage at a Time
Rather than randomly visiting shops, pick one lineage and complete it for quicker badge rewards.
Use the Map View
Find shops near you to maximize visits. The map shows your distance to each location.
Revisit Favorites
You can visit the same shop multiple times to collect additional cards—perfect for your favorite spots!
