You’ll find rare regional styles, Michelin-starred legends, and one-off collaborations that exist only for a few days. Think butter-clam shio ramen from Hokkaido next to rich Kumamoto tonkotsu, or a surprising yuzu-shoyu blend created by two rival chefs working side by side. If you’re a ramen nerd, these events are a dream come true. You can eat limited-edition bowls, see famous chefs in action, and even take photos of them guilt-free (everyone else is doing it too). But if you don’t plan properly, you’ll end up queueing more than slurping.
