This is just one of the many ‘Ramens’ you can concoct starting with this lovely base from Executive Chef Joshua Hebert. He’s got a new gig opening up in early Fall, Hot Noodles Cold Sake, and we can’t wait to line up for his amazing creations! Eat in or take out! If he doesn’t have this pairing on the menu, make sure you have some at home to sip and slurp alongside your fave bowl of comfort! What we love most is that if it only had an ‘a’ at the end…KiJoshu(a) Sake!
