Café Engels Ramen Pop-Up - BRS x Flavor Focus Lab

Spring is just around the corner, the temperatures are picking up, no more risk of slipping on sidewalks. What does that mean for us? Pop-up time!

Before the fourth edition of the Berlin Ramen Festival is due in October, we're bringing the community back into a more intimate setting. We're coming back to our pop-up origin - the Café Engels in beautiful Schillerkiez right at the gates of Tempelhofer Feld. That's why we're teaming up again with Simon, known for his legendary Tantanmen from Berlin Ramen Festival #3 and our last pop-up in the third. With FlavorFocusLab, he gives his great passion, fermentation, a focused stage.

Whether vegan or meat, this is about umami: homemade garums, misos and shoyus, fermented for months, perfectly balanced and simply on point. See for yourself!
