I’m late to this, but there’s still time to check out this series of pop-ups serving up ramen from all over Japan!
The pop-ups are happening at Japan House on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm.
Walk-ins are welcome if space is available, or you can make reservations.
Here’s what’s coming up:
