Hokkaido-style spice ramen comes to Leederville
Plus another jam-packed weekend guide to keep you busy.
While it’s not quite ramen season yet, the Japanese delicacy is something the good people of Perth have gone pretty nuts for since it first made its way to our corner of the world. So even though the weather has been decidedly not ramen-friendly this past week, we’re sure there’s plenty of you excited to find a new spot to slurp into - especially one from the team behind Shafto Lane fave, Rojiura Curry Samurai.
If you’re more of a “soup is a drink, not a food” type person ala one of our sadly misguided directors, perhaps you’ll be excited about the news one of the world’s biggest jazz artists is finally making his way to Perth this year, or that one of the UK’s best comedians is doing the same next year. Or, if you’re just trying to get one foot in front of the other at the moment, there’s another big weekend guide to peruse.
