Sushiro Singapore has partnered with Kajiken—the mazesoba specialist known for its signature “Taiwan Mazesoba (Nagoya-style)”—to bring a dry ramen crossover into the kaiten-sushi world. The tie-up is rolling out across all Sushiro outlets in Singapore as a limited run.

Hidden within Fortune Centre near Bugis, HERBIVORE is one of Singapore’s longest-standing Japanese vegetarian restaurants, created by Ho C.S. together with Japanese chef Yasui Masa. It earned its reputation for turning Japanese comfort food—like katsu, sushi, and ramen—completely meat-free long before “plant-based” became mainstream.

Located in the heart of Orchard Road at Paragon, Sanpoutei Ramen has marked its 10th anniversary in Singapore with the launch of its third outlet, echoing its roots in Niigata, Japan, since 1967. Known for its signature Niigata-style shoyu ramen, this brand leans into clear, layered broth—simmered with pork, chicken, vegetables, and Niigata essentials like ago-flying fish and Rishiri kelp—for a subtly complex profile that feels both traditional and fresh.

The kitchen is helmed by Chef Koichi Horikawa, a veteran who once worked in Michelin-starred restaurants and later served as Head Chef at both Ramen Champion and Taishoken. His influence extends beyond this shop — he also taught and inspired the hawkerpreneur behind Menya Horikawa, the heartland ramen stall that’s been appearing in Singapore’s hawker centres recently.

What’s notable for ramen hunters: Nikutosake highlights a signature dry ramen that brings familarity of some mazesoba variants, plugging into a grilled-meat DNA you don’t always see in noodle-first shops. The kitchen’s broader menu also includes the usual tonkotsu options—worth knowing before you decide what to order.

Unlike the heavier tonkotsu styles that dominate Singapore’s ramen scene, Tori San focuses purely on chicken, combining Japanese paitan techniques with a refined French-influenced stock method. The result is a modern ramen bar experience built around chicken ramen and yakitori, with a few local exclusives like the dan dan ramen making their debut here.

What’s less widely talked about is the transformation that happens at lunchtime: the hotpot restaurant switches gears into a ramen shop. Instead of full nabe sets, you’ll find a compact ramen menu built on the same collagen-rich broth, giving a completely different entry point into what the brand does best.

What’s notable here is the range. Beyond the signature miso tsukemen, you’ll spot tonkotsu ramen alongside vegetarian and vegan-friendly options—including plant-based “unagi” and karaage, with allium-free configurations highlighted by local vegan diners. It’s an accessible on-ramp to dipping ramen for mixed groups (meat-eaters and plant-based friends alike) without straying from the tsukemen playbook.
