Kazan Japanese Ramen: Instagram reels for a ramen restaurant on Church Street

Hotkhana Media made a set of Instagram reels for Kazan Japanese Ramen on Church Street, Bengaluru. They run from close-ups of ramen being built in the kitchen to staff-led skits, a cocktail launch and festive celebrations, with Kazan's own team in front of the camera.

The brief

Kazan wanted to feel like a slice of Japan in the middle of Church Street: authentic in its food, but relaxed and friendly enough to walk into on a whim. The reels had to show the craft that goes into each bowl and put the team's personality on screen.

Our approach

The bowl, step by step

One reel follows a single bowl from start to finish: noodles, broth, sliced chashu, spring onion and a halved egg, placed by gloved hands into Kazan's red bowl. It shows the care in the food without a word of explanation.

The team is the cast

Staff carry the ideas. They walk in a line with signs on their backs that spell out a message, ham up the right way to slurp ramen, and wave in Christmas under the restaurant's paper lanterns.

A launch that teases

To announce cocktails, kitchen staff hold up handwritten signs before the reel cuts to the drinks themselves, so the news arrives as a reveal rather than an advert.

One idea per reel

Each reel sticks to a single idea and closes on a Kazan brand card, so every video works on its own in the feed and still adds up to one recognisable voice.
