Discovery Tuesdays
Cold night. Hot bowl. Bold pairing.
Introducing Discovery Tuesdays, every second Tuesday, we put a new bowl in the spotlight.
First up: Tantanmen, paired with a Chardonnay.
Yes, you read that right. We didn’t believe it either until we tried it, the richness of the broth meets the roundness of the w**e and somehow it just works. Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones that shouldn’t make sense.
No bookings, no fuss - just walk in and let us introduce you to your next favourite combo.
📍 Obento Ramen Bar
🗓️ Every second Tuesday
🍜 This week: Tantanmen x Hogan’s Galvanised Chardonnay
💸 R200 — half portion + glass of w**e
Save this post so you don’t lose track of when the next one lands — and tag someone who needs convincing that ramen & w**e is a thing now.
A bowl at a time.
We picked this one on purpose. Hogan W**es is a small, family-run cellar in the Banhoek Valley, built around old vines and minimal intervention: grapes handled gently, fermented naturally, given time in old oak to find their own balance. That’s the same philosophy we bring to a bowl of ramen: good ingredients, properly respected, with nothing rushed. It felt like the right pour to introduce alongside a dish we’re proud of.
