🍜 Capture moto-i’s Craft Ramen, Sake & Bring the Night to Life
Overview
About this campaign
moto-i is a Japanese-inspired ramen and sake brewpub in the Lyn-Lake neighborhood of Minneapolis.
What makes it unique is its house-made sake brewery — one of the only places in the country where sake is brewed and served on-site alongside a full food menu.
Guests come for rich bowls of ramen, sake flights brewed in-house, and a richly layered atmosphere that evolves through the night — from a lively street-level dining room to an intimate lounge upstairs and a rooftop that opens during the warmer months.
Part neighborhood staple, part discovery, moto-i is a place people find — and then bring their friends back to.
