Overview

An actual trip to Japan might not be on the cards this winter, but you'll find a pretty solid alternative in Ramen Alley, which is popping up at Tramsheds for a cosy culinary series next month.

From July 3 to 20, local Japanese eatery Osaka Trading Co is taking over Tramsheds' Artisan Lane for a three-week celebration of Japan's classic noodle soup. From Wednesdays through Saturdays, the space itself will be transformed into a Tokyo-style laneway, dishing up ramen menu favourites alongside a weekly changing ramen special. Current hits from the Osaka Trading Co repertoire include a miso chashu roast pork number with wood ear mushroom and black garlic oil, and a roasted sesame version loaded with baby bok choi and spiced pork mince.

The crew from Suntory is also joining in the fun, so you'll be able to match your soup feast with $10 whisky highballs all throughout the pop-up. And if you fancy diving in a little deeper, catch the Suntory whisky tasting on Thursday, July 4, or a Saturday evening highball and cocktail-making workshop on July 6 or 13. Tickets to the tastings are $64 and $70 for workshops, and booking are essential for both.

You can book your regular ramen session in advance, too, by nabbing a $27 pre-purchase ticket, which includes a regular shoyu ramen and a classic Toki whisky highball. Extra food and drinks can be bought once you're there.

Ramen Alley is open from Wednesday to Saturday from 5.30pm–9pm.
