SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- A Taste of Japantown in a Box – The Epicurean Trader Launches Neighborhood-Inspired Basket Series

We're excited to share an exclusive look at The Epicurean Trader's newest launch: our Neighborhood Series—a rotating monthly gift basket program that celebrates San Francisco's most iconic neighborhoods through food and drink.

Our debut box? A flavor-packed Japantown Ramen Kit, designed to bring restaurant-level ramen home. Think deep umami-rich broth, Momofuku noodles, bold chili oils, kombu, bonito, and premium condiments from small-batch artisans across the U.S. and Japan.

📍 Inspired by the rich culinary legacy of San Francisco's Japantown
🍜 Crafted to deliver a layered, bold, and unforgettable ramen experience
