Chapter 4 The New Menu

In my last posts, I hinted at what’s coming with our newly adjusted concept. But what does this mean?

Without giving too much away before our reopening, here’s what you need to know: The favorites will stay. The menu will be lean. The motto? "Keep it simple."

Ramen is inherently complex, but since our goal is "Ramen for everyone," the menu should reflect that. While the selection will be streamlined, our dedication to the craft remains unwavering. Making ramen from scratch is no small feat, and we’ll continue to uphold the highest standards. Our focus is on simplicity and approachability—creating a menu that’s clear even for first-time ramen eaters. Expect a well-structured selection, beautiful photos to guide you, and pricing that fits the vibe of Markthalle Pfefferberg.

One thing I can reveal—Tsukemen is making a comeback as our first seasonal special! Not immediately at launch (we need to find our groove first), but once we’re settled and confident in executing the core menu. I can’t wait to bring back my signature emulsion and vinegar concoction to this Japanese classic. Supper Club attendees know exactly what I’m talking about!

Speaking of finding our groove, we’re hiring! Starting fresh means building a passionate team. Keep an eye on our stories for updates. If you or someone you know wants a behind-the-scenes look at running a ramen shop, send them our way—we’d love to chat.

In upcoming posts, I’ll dive deeper into our ramen creations. Ever wondered how a chef describes their bowl? We won’t use words like “perfect” or “delicious”—those don’t mean much. Instead, I want you to taste the bowl through the screen.

Stay tuned—there’s so much more to share as we prepare for this exciting new chapter at Kuma Ramen! This version keeps your message concise and engaging while fitting Instagram’s character limit.
