Bottlecraft Little Italy Collaborates With Neighbor RakiRaki Ramen For Food Service

Bottlecraft Little Italy, the beer shop and tasting room with hard-to-find beers from around the world, has started a new snack menu in the form of a collaboration with next door neighbor, RakiRaki Ramen.

RakiRaki was founded in 2012 by Tokyo native Junya Watanabe, who came to the United States as a teen and pursued his education at UCLA where he received a Master’s degree in Economics.

Bottlecraft Little Italy is the original location for the Southern California concept. There are 24 beers on tap and hundreds of bottles available to drink in or take to go. Wine, cider, and kombucha are also available on draft and in bottles to go.

Bottlecraft is dog friendly and open daily at 12PM. Closing time is 10PM, Sunday – Thursday and 12AM, Friday and Saturday. It’s located at 2252 India Street.

Don’t forget, every Tuesday during the summer from 4PM–7PM is TAPpy Hour with 10% of all draft pours being donated to The Animal Pad, a non-profit, all-breed dog rescue.
