Beverage — no broth. Phase 1 — Keg conditioning (passive): Maintain keg at 4°C, CO₂ at 2.2 bar for 24h minimum before service. Phase 2 — Glass prep (10s): Frost mug at −8°C freezer — warm glass kills foam (−25 Hosokawa). Phase 3 — Pour protocol: 45° tilt → vertical at 70% fill → reverse lever for 3s micro-foam cap. Total pour 12–15s. Foam must hold 90s minimum.
N/A — pour timing replaces noodle boil. 45° tilt pour: 8s. Vertical main pour: 4s to 70% line. Foam tap: 3s. Deviating ±2s on foam phase shifts ratio from 7:3 to 6:4 (−15 Hosokawa) or 8:2 (−10 mouthfeel). "Shake" equivalent: wrist snap when leveling mug — removes oversized bubbles, tightens foam lattice.
Serve on bar counter, not table — foam collapses during walk (+8 Hosokawa for counter serve). Mug handle at 4 o'clock for right-hand grip photo. Foam line exactly at mug rim 70% mark — visible golden liquid band below white cap. Condensation on mug exterior = freshness signal (+4). Never wipe mug — water droplets are intentional presentation.
Cost ¥80 (keg allocation ¥62, CO₂ ¥8, glass chill ¥10). Price ¥420 → margin ¥340 (425%). Zero prep time — 80–120 pours/day limited only by tap throughput. Best profit-per-second in game. Combo attach rate 45% with spicy ramen. Volume pricing ¥380 still yields 375% margin. Fund shop upgrades fastest via beer-first strategy days 1–5.
Ryunosuke Hosokawa (99%): +30 pts exact 7:3 ratio measured at rim. +20 pts frost mug + condensation. +15 pts foam persistence >90s. −25 pts warm glass or flat beer. −20 pts ratio outside 68–72% liquid band. −15 pts served at table (walk time). Master critic — no partial credit on pour technique.

| Students | ★★★★☆ | ¥380–420 |
| Office workers | ★★★☆☆ | ¥400–420 after-work |
| Tourists | ★★★☆☆ | ¥420 (7:3 photo) |
| Late-night drinkers | ★★★★★ | ¥420 × 2–3 rounds |
| Veteran gourmets | ★★★★☆ | ¥420 if Hosokawa 5-star pour |
Emergency Fix: Mug must be −8°C for 10min minimum. Warm glass = Hosokawa instant −25.
Emergency Fix: Release main lever at 70% line; reverse push exactly 3s for foam cap. ±2s foam phase = −15 Hosokawa.
Emergency Fix: Counter serve only — never walk to table. Table serve = −15 Hosokawa; foam dies in transit.
Emergency Fix: Wrist snap when leveling mug upright — removes oversized bubbles, tightens lattice. Wipe mug = −4 freshness.
Release the main beer handle when liquid hits 70% line, then push backwards for dense foam cap.
