Highbury’s Shinjuku Gyoen HOME hosts Free Somen 2026; Sakuragicho CAVE serves chilled noodles
An Instagram post from Highbury -The Cave of Beer- announced Free Somen 2026 at HOME in Shinjuku Gyoen and Kou’s special chilled Chinese noodles at CAVE in Sakuragicho. HOME also featured Rehmenbräu and takoyaki, with the summer program running through August 9.
Hop BroI've got a fun one today: Highbury -The Cave of Beer- is running Free Somen 2026 at Shinjuku Gyoen HOME.
MugiWhat? Somen at a beer pub? That sounds like summer from the future!
Hop BroIt starts with Handa somen, and right beside it a Bavarian keg is pouring Löwenbräu comparison pours.
MugiWait, unfiltered and centrifuged? That sounds like a science lab spell!
Hop BroPut simply, unfiltered keeps more yeast and body, centrifuged cleans it up, and filtered drinks crisp. The whole point is the difference in finish.
MugiSo the same Löwenbräu gets a three-stage transformation? Okay, that's ridiculously fun!
Hop BroHOME also has takoyaki sets, and if you bring ice they give you shaved ice through a bring-your-own-ice perk.
MugiSomen, takoyaki, and shaved ice? That's basically full summer festival mode! My appetite is spiraling!
Hop BroThe hashtags also name Thornbridge, Pilsner Urquell, and Fujizakura, so their beer lineup range is seriously wide.
MugiI thought this was just a noodle event, and now the beer names are stacked too? That's a luxury drinking roster!
Hop BroMeanwhile, Sakuragicho CAVE stays on regular service with Ko-san's special chilled noodles, keeping that British pub atmosphere while balancing proper food and beer.
MugiSo HOME is playful and CAVE is composed. Since this runs through August 9, I want to rush to both with a cold beer right now!
Highbury -The Cave of Beer- used its Instagram post to show two different sides of the brand: HOME in Shinjuku Gyoen and CAVE in Sakuragicho.
At HOME, the venue is running Free Somen 2026, with the post noting that the program is available through August 9. The first noodles are served as Handa somen, while the beer side highlights Rehmenbräu poured from a Bavarian keg. Three versions are listed: unfiltered, centrifuge, and filtered. Takoyaki is also on offer, and guests who bring ice can even get shaved ice through the cloud-ice setup. It is a playful, summer-focused lineup.
CAVE, meanwhile, is operating as usual and serving Kou’s special chilled Chinese noodles. That fits Highbury’s British-pub atmosphere well, where food and beer are meant to be enjoyed together.
The hashtags at the end of the post also mention Thornbridge, Yebisu, Pilsner Urquell, Baeren, Lowenbrau, Fujizakura, Plank, Yo-Ho, Riegele, and Bonito. Taken together, they show both the breadth of beers associated with the place and the lighter, event-driven spirit behind the post.
With somen at HOME and chilled noodles at CAVE, Highbury -The Cave of Beer- continues to present distinct experiences at each location while staying firmly beer-centered.
