AFEW Takumi
No Ramen, No Life – For the upcoming Japan Day 2019 another wish of ours becomes true. The AFEW STORE will get its very own ramen!
shop nowWe teamed up with Takumi, our favorite ramen spot from Düsseldorf, to create our own recipe for the AFEW RAMEN. Which sneaker store can relate to this achievement?
For the right apparel to wear while you are slurping the noodles out of the bowl, Takumi Ogata has designed two T-shirts. These are available either at the AFEW STORE or at Takumi. This collaboration is another step forward to strengthen our German Japanese friendship, which started 2005 with the release of the AFEW X ASICS GEL-LYTE III “Koi”. Last year the German-Japanese friendship became the main topic of our AFEW X BEAMS X ASICS GEL-LYTE III collaboration. Our passion for ramen is easy to explain. The AFEW STORE is just placed at the Japanese Area of Düsseldorf.
NO RAMEN, NO LIFE
The soup of the AFEW RAMEN has a soy-edamame base and will come in two different varieties. A classic version with pork belly and veggie mushroom version. The AFEW RAMEN features green matcha noodles, which took inspiration from our store. Besides the common toppings, our ramen includes an AFEW-branded egg. In addition, we offer one of our favorite spice to this dish – Szechuan pepper. This particular pepper is also known as “numb mouth”. If you season your soup too much, your mouth probably becomes numb.
The AFEW RAMEN is only available at Takumi – 01. June 2019 | 10:00 – 11:30h
Both T-shirts feature an exclusive AFEW X Takumi logo on the chest. The white “Ramen Master” T-shirt has a backpiece, which says: “one Ramen, one smile.” An experience everyone hab once after eating up a whole ramen bowl. On the other side, the black T-shirt features a “ we love ramen” and “cooking fresh pork soup” saying on the back. FYI: a traditional ramen broth has always a pork base.
