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 wine 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 wine

Save this post so you don’t lose track of when the next one lands — and tag someone who needs convincing that ramen & wine is a thing now.
A bowl at a time.

We picked this one on purpose. Hogan Wines 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.

Six wines you’ve probably never heard of. Four courses built to make you remember them. 🍷🍜

Intellego’s Jurgen Gouws makes wine the way we make ramen: no shortcuts, full conviction, occasionally a little stubborn about it. On 9 July, the two collide for one night only at Obento.

Doors 6pm, dinner from 6:30pm. Seats are limited. 👀

Tag the person you’d bring to this.

Fun fact: Katsu curry didn’t start in a fine dining restaurant. It started in a factory canteen.

Introduced to Japan in the late 1800s, it became the go-to workers’ meal. Cheap enough to order every day, filling enough to get you through a double shift. The OG hustle fuel. Workers’ Day feels like the right time to honour that.

We’re serving Chicken Katsu this Workers’ Day & Saturday only: crispy, sauced, and not available again until we feel like it.

That last part was a joke. Kind of.

winter said “i’m here.” we said “we know.” 🍜🔥

spicy tonkotsu. 24-hour broth. house-made chilli ramen oil.
every bite built different — noodles, toppings, and that burn that creeps up slow.
this is not fast food. this is slow love in a bowl.

jozi, come get warm. 🌶️

Four bowls. One decision. 🍜

We went deep trying to crown a favorite… rich broths, perfect noodles, layers on layers of flavor. Each one made a strong case.

But then the last bowl stepped in — laksa.
Creamy, spicy, unapologetically bold… and suddenly the debate got very real.

So now we’re stuck.
Do you stay loyal to classic ramen, or does laksa steal the crown?

Be honest… which one are you choosing? 👇
