Aidaya (あいだや) pop-up with guest chef Hiromitsu Mizuhara from Tokyo, Japan

Friday, October 09, 2026, from 01:30pm until 10:00pm
Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 12:00am until 10:00pm
Sunday, October 11, 2026, from 12:00am until 10:00pm

Hiromitsu Mizuhara, owner of the renowned Koike group, will come to Berlin for another exclusive event at the Chipperfield Kantine in Berlin-Mitte. This time we will serve the incredible Tsukemen (dipping Ramen) from Aidaya (あいだや) , his famous Tsukemen shop located in Ueno, Tokyo.

The fixed menu for €59,00 per person includes Aidaya’s signature Tsukemen served with two different soups for dipping, their famous roasted pork Chashu rice bowl as a side dish and a small dessert. This will be another truly unique bowl with flavors and textures you rarely find outside Japan (if at all). We are also working on some exciting specials (maybe something with Japanese Wagyu), which you can order on the side (for an additional charge).

The majority of seats will be sold via reservation in advance (through the booking widget in the right corner). Each seating has a time limit of 75 minutes (with an additional buffer of 15 minutes). Seats will also be available for walk-ins all day on Saturday and Sunday.

The reservation system is now open for a short pre-sale of tickets.

Based on experience from previous pop-ups, Friday, the first day of the event, is when workflows need to settle in, so wait times may be slightly longer in some cases. We will be happy to offer guests complimentary drinks to make up for any inconvenience (on Friday only).

Inside the Chipperfield Kantine guests will experience the atmosphere of a real Japanese Ramen shop with an open kitchen to watch Mizuhara-San preparing the bowls (get an impression of our pop up from 2023 and 2024). This also means that its going to be pretty cramped and rushed inside, since cooks and servers will hand out food and drinks to guests as soon as its ready (just like at Ramen shops in Japan).

Unfortunately no vegetarian/ vegan alternatives will be offered during the event. The soup contains fish, shellfish and pork/ chicken. No pickups or takeaway possible.

Koike group, founded and run by Hiromitsu Mizuhara, operates eight shops in Tokyo, Japan: King Seimen, Chuka Soba Nishino, Tsukemen Kinryu, Inose, Aidaya, Aidaya 2, Hongouen, Koike and Koike no iekei. They all serve different styles of Ramen and are regarded as some of the best in the country - three of his shops are listed in Tabelog’s Top100 of 2025 and up until recently two (!) of them had been awarded with the Bib Gourmand by Guide Michelin (out of only 16 shops in the whole of Tokyo).
