The capital’s art and food scenes collide with MUEBON x Mensho Tokyo, a new collab that blends contemporary street art with premium Japanese ramen culture. Presented by Sanctuary Gallery, the project marks Thai street artist MUEBON’s first-ever partnership with a restaurant, created together with Mensho Tokyo Bangkok, the Tokyo-born ramen house known for its meticulous broths and handmade noodles.

At the centre of the project are 50 limited-edition Japanese ceramic ramen bowls, each hand-painted by MUEBON and designed as a one-of-a-kind artwork. For B20,000 a pop, you can take one home. Produced in Gifu, Japan, a historic centre of Mino-yaki pottery, the bowls feature MUEBON’s signature character Pooklook in playful scenes that weave ramen noodles directly into the designs. Available in both white and black bases, no two bowls are the same.

Alongside the art launch, Mensho Tokyo Bangkok introduces a limited-edition menu built on its Signature Tori Paitan Ramen, simmered for over 20 hours. For this collaboration, the dish is elevated with Imobuta pork chashu, prized for its tender texture and natural sweetness, translating MUEBON’s vibrant visual language into flavour.

The project offers a fresh take on how art can live beyond gallery walls, turning an everyday bowl of ramen into a collectible experience.

Available now at Mensho Tokyo Bangkok, Sukhumvit Soi 31. 11am-9.30pm.
