Singapore Ramen

Sapporo Misono | Singapore | 60/100

The broth has a strong shoyu note and a lingering taste that seems like ginger? Not sure but the broth leaves us rather puzzled. Which part of it is scorched? Maybe we’ve not had scorched shoyu before and hence we can’t tell… Nonetheless, you can tell we aren’t fans of it. While the brix value shows up high, it taste flat pretty quickly. On my refractometer, it shows a reading of 6.2 brix which is higher than regular Tokyo Shoyu ramen.

Tsuta Japanese Soba Noodle

Tsuta Japanese Soba Noodle | Singapore | 85/100

This is I guess the Michelin star comes from. Having eaten so many types of ramen in Singapore and Japan, I must say it’s a really complex broth. It’s sweet, savoury and with a tinge of sourness towards the end (almost like there’s mustard?) – not in a bad way. There’s this familiar fragrance in it – can’t figure whether it’s dates or goji berry – but in short it’s an impressive broth even to someone who isn’t a fan of Shoyu ramen.

Suparakki Ramen | Singapore | 65/100

The broth is surprisingly good for its price point. When we measured it with our refractometer, it also held up well at Brix 8.6 against the benchmark of a standard Tonkotsu which is 10.1 – looks like the 6 hours of rolling boil managed to extract the collagen goodness. If the richness can be a little more, it would have got a full score from us.

Gyoza no ohsho

Gyoza no Ohsho | Singapore | 40/100

Hidden in the corner of Cuppage is Gyoza no Ohsho selling Japanese Chinese cuisines. Apart from the Gyoza which they are known for, they also sell quite a wide range of ramen. At the time of writing, it seems that they have increased prices. Those older google reviews about it being an affordable and value for money in the area is up for debate now.

Ha-Oh Hototogisu | Singapore | 75/100

With the abundance of Hototogisu outlets nowadays, it’s easy to get a bit bewildered at times. Ha-Oh Hototogisu stands out with its specialty, the Crab Ramen. Setting it apart from other typical Crab Ramen offerings, this unique combination of seemingly unconventional ingredients leaves you pondering how they manage to harmonize so well and create a truly delightful flavor experience.

Konjiki Hototogisu - Charcoal Spare Ribs Ramen

Konjiki Hototogisu | Singapore | 85/100

After receiving feedback from fellow ramen enthusiasts regarding my initial low score at the Waterway Point outlet, I decided to give it another chance at the Chijmes outlet – widely regarded as the best location by several individuals. I wanted to provide an updated review based on this experience. And indeed, the Chijmes outlet offered a distinct experience, as reflected in my score for the Shoyu Hamaguri Soup Ramen

Tsuta Japanese Soba Noodle @ Nomstar | Singapore | 30/100

We were pleasantly surprised to discover a Tsuta outlet at Northshore Plaza, bringing this popular ramen joint to the heartlands. Intrigued by the opportunity, we decided to give it a try. However, it’s important to note that our experience was slightly affected by the confusing user interface at Nomstar, leading us to order takeaway even though we were dining in. As a result, the actual score of our experience might be slightly higher. It’s worth mentioning that the Nomstar outlet does not offer Tsuta’s signature ramen, the Shoyu Soba.
