Ramen pop up with Stephan Hentschel, former head chef of Michelin-starred Cookies Cream, Berlin

For a fourth time Stephan Hentschel, former head chef of Michelin-starred Cookies Cream, has teamed up with me, Food Technique Berlin, to craft an exciting Ramen Menu that caters to vegetarian and meat-eaters alike. This time we are making use of our favorite autumn vegetables (like cabbage, beets and Jerusalem artichokes). The Ramen is served with flavorful side dishes that are enjoyable on their own or as a delicious addition to the Ramen.

In developing the menu, Stephan integrates techniques from his experience at Cookies Cream, while I incorporate some of the most popular elements from my plant-based Ramen lineup. All components are made from scratch without the use of “fillers” such as tofu or modern processed meat alternatives. Vegan and gluten-free alternatives will be available.

Given that plant-based Ramen are relatively novel in Japan, there were few benchmarks for "authenticity" from traditional Japanese Ramen shops. This allowed us complete freedom to select seasonal, regional ingredients that complement each other — a guiding principle of true Japanese Ramen.

The 4-course menu for €59,00 per person includes:

• Brioche with autumn truffels

• Cabbage with Shiso and citrus

• Karashibi-style Miso Ramen with Chili and Sichuan pepper (Kikanbo inspired) - served mild or spicy - with mushroom soup and chashew milk, thick, chewy noodles topped with roasted oyster mushrooms, bean sprouts, sweet onions and garlic chives

• Dessert (to be announced soon)

Additional toppings are available for Ramen (to be ordered on location):

• Marinated egg (€3,00)

• Pork belly (€7,00)

• Chicken thigh (€7,00)

As is customary in Japan, chilled water is available as a beverage inclusive. Beer, wine, sake and non-alcoholic alternatives can be ordered for an additional charge.

The majority of seats will be sold via reservation in advance (make reservation on booking widget on right bottom corner). Each seating has a time limit of 75 minutes (with an additional buffer of 15 minutes). The rest of the seats will be available for walk-ins the day of the event.

Inside the Chipperfield Kantine guests will be able to enjoy their bowl in a typical ramen shop atmosphere. This means the guest room will be lively, cozy, and noisy with an open kitchen to watch the chefs preparing the bowls and sides. We warmly welcome families with children of all ages, and there is space for strollers as well. We are also happy to accommodate dogs, provided they can rest comfortably under the table.

The menu contains celeriac, gluten, nuts (cashew, hazelnut, peanuts and sesame), wheat and soy. Unfortunately it is not possible to make any further individual adjustments. No pickups or takeaway possible.
