Overview

Minimise the impact that your noodle-slurping habits have on the environment, all thanks to a nifty project by Tokyo Tina and the rest of its Commune Group siblings. Popping up at the Windsor restaurant from Monday, March 27–Wednesday, March 29 is the Rubbish Ramen Shop — an experimental Melbourne Food & Wine Festival offering that's here to shake up the soup game.

Book one of the six dinner sittings and head along to enjoy a ramen feast with a low-waste twist. Senior Chef Enza Sotto has dreamed up two limited-edition, sustainability-focused ramen varieties, which are made using unwanted produce collected from across the hospitality group's eateries — think: Moonhouse, Firebird and New Quarter. Ingredients that would otherwise be destined for landfill will be cleverly transformed into your midweek Japanese feed.

You can nab a ticket to the pop-up for $48, which includes your choice of ramen bowl, a snack, and either a cup of sake or a beer to match.
