At Beer Stand Tsubamenosu in Sumiyoshi, Tokyo, yakiramen has been added to the blackboard menu. Priced at JPY 759, the dish was developed after repeated trials inspired by a memorable bowl eaten at a yatai in Tenjin, Fukuoka. The shop presents it as a plate that is not a direct replica, but one designed to go well with beer.

The day’s tap list includes five beers. Alongside the regulars, KIRIN Heartland and Ise Kadoya Beer Classic Pale Ale, the lineup also features Ise Kadoya Beer Neko no Nomimono, Sanktgallen Brown Sugar Sweet Stout, and Sanktgallen Pineapple Ale. It is a broad selection ranging from lager and pale ale to stout and fruit-driven beer, which should pair naturally with a savory, oil-friendly dish like yakiramen.

Tsubamenosu is just 35 seconds on foot from Sumiyoshi Station Exit B1. The small beer pub has eight counter seats and six table seats, with no cover charge and a no-smoking interior. It opens from 6:00 p.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday, making it a convenient stop for a quick drink near the station or a slower session built around the blackboard specials and rotating taps.
