And no, there’s no real beer in it.

The unique ramen option is available on Yuu’s summer menu for $14.95 and is served with a side of tempura.

So far, the reviews have been fairly positive. Multiple people who have tried it have shared on social media that they were “skeptical,” but that the dish was “refreshing” and “delicious.”

And with this warm weather, a refreshing meal might just be the perfect option.
