This paper attempts to reveal the positive meaning of self-education of cooks in ramen-shops (ramen-ya) in order to reflect on the problem of self-education of teachers. In Japan, people who are going to become cooks in ramen-shops usually do not learn a method or technique for making ramen from an expert on ramen. Normally, they learn the knack of making ramen by self-education (dokugaku). In this case, they walk all over Japan in order to eat ramen and to understand what ramen is. In Japanese, there is a traditional concept as opposed to self-education; Shugyo (ascetic practice in Buddhism). In this paper, commonality between self-education and Shugyo will be shown.
