Hi, this is Keita. The hot summer days continue. I love the hot summer.
I want to make the most of the summer, so to create our own kind of summer festival and do something fun, we're holding some summer events.
About a year and a half ago, in February, we held an event every Wednesday called TRIPLE BIRDS.
It was an evening event where three charismatic shops from the Mikawa region—the ramen shop "Men no Ki BODAI," the curry shop "SUNDAY SPICE," and the miso shop "Zoumeshiya"—took over the kitchen at Earlybirds. Every week, over 100 people gathered in the cold night air.
This time, I reached out to everyone because I felt it was something we should do precisely because it's a hot summer.
All of these shops have become overwhelmingly stronger than they were a year and a half ago. The curry shop has opened a restaurant in Gamagori, the ramen shop has built a workshop next to their store to make their own noodles, and the miso shop has built a "Zoumeshiya palace" in Nishio. Every time I see or hear about how well everyone is doing, it honestly makes me want to do my best, too.
Personally, I have been heavily influenced by the Mikawa region over the last few years, so I think this will be a good stimulus once again.
First up:
Shop: "Men no Ki BODAI"
Time: August 12 (Wed), 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM (tentative)
Location: EARLYBIRDS BREAKFAST
They will be preparing three types of ramen: a summer-only chilled ramen, and their standard soup-less ramen. You can enjoy a supreme bowl using their carefully crafted homemade noodles. Look forward to it.
And second:
Shop: "Zoumeshiya"
Time: August 19 (Wed), 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM (tentative)
Location: EARLYBIRDS BREAKFAST
They will be preparing "Miso Nikomi Udon," which is perfect because it's a hot summer. You'll be able to enjoy about four variations of Miso Nikomi Udon. They will, of course, be using homemade miso from Imai Jozo. We will also be selling packs of miso on the day, so please take some home for your family.
And for the final third event at the end of the month:
Shops: "SUNDAY SPICE," "Kissa HIRAYA"
Time: August 29 (Sat), Summer festival "RIDEALIVE 2015"
Location: Mikawa Kogen Camp Village
Finally, they will be catering the dinner at our own event, RIDEALIVE. Curry goes so well with camping. The curry he makes is truly delicious. We are bringing you the best cast to color your summer memories. Click here for the blog regarding food at RIDEALIVE.
*Note* Please be aware that this event is by reservation only, so the general public cannot participate.
Before you know it, August will be over in a flash. Let's make some summer memories.
We look forward to seeing many of you there.
Thank you.
