Richmond's Future Future Has Dropped a New Lunchtime Ramen Menu for Winter

Richmond's Future Future is dropping a new menu it like it's hot (because it is). This contemporary Japanese spot will be keeping you toasty this winter with its new midday menu of ramen — perfect for your lunch break.

While this little eatery embraces the concept of wabi-sabi, which is exploring the beauty in imperfection, there's not too much that's imperfect about its ramen.

Warm up your belly with a vegetarian tan tan men ramen ($17) topped with crispy tofu, shimeji mushrooms, watercress, spring onion and chilli oil — or a hearty pork belly version ($18) with a soy egg, nori and furikake (a umami-heavy Japanese seasoning). If you're doubly hungry, you can add on extra noodles for $3, too.

A lunch set is also available, which comes with an otsumami (a side dish) of your choice, such as cucumber with white miso or tuna sashimi salad with wasabi mayo, and a local wine or Japanese lager. If ramen isn't your thing — maybe, because you ate too many 60-cent packs in uni — the menu also features donburi rice dishes, topped with the likes of pork belly ($18), salmon ($19) and mushroom ($17), to tuck into.

Grab your colleagues or mates, escape Melbourne's future (future) brisk temperatures and snag a bowl of warming ramen at Future Future this winter.

Future Future is located at 191 Swan Street, Richmond and its ramen menu is available throughout winter from May 2 from midday–3pm, Thursday–Saturday.
