Following after Tsuta, now we have another Michelin ramen setting shop on our sunny shores in Singapore. Their signature Tan Tan Men is what everyone will be queueing for but we’ll also take the opportunity to look at their other ramen.

Akimitsu is a Michelin awarded brand renown for their Tempura but they also offer pretty decent ramen at their chains in Singapore. The ramen here is pretty customisable. Each ramen comes with different configurations of meat options and then lets you choose what broth you want. Original being the classic white milky Tonkotsu, Black being the garlic variant and finally the red for the spicy option.

The broth is milky and has a sweet start but satisfaction tapers off as the alkaline-ish after taste hits you along with a hint of bitterness. Not sure whether its the noodles influencing the taste here or its the other way around. On my refractometer, it shows a reading of 10.2 brix is pretty good – standard for Tonkotsu ramen. But overall taste wise seems a bit off.

The broth appears a little watery but the brix reading at 10.7 seems to say otherwise. It is also a little on the oily side and doesn’t leave a clean palate after each sip – perhaps the reason why we find it flat towards the later half of the meal.

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.

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.

Takagi Ramen boasts an appealing brand story – Ramen made for the everyday Singaporean. Absolutely spot on! Who says delicious ramen has to come with a hefty price tag? Hardworking Singaporeans deserve to enjoy a satisfying bowl of ramen as well. Since most of their outlets are quite far from our location, we opted to visit the one that appeared busiest… Ang Mo Kio!

Although the broth may appear slightly watery, its taste reassures you that it’s a rich and flavorful bowl. It carries a savory and mildly spicy profile with hints of sesame and garlic. While the squid ink flavor doesn’t stand out, it adds an extra umami layer. Overall, it’s a pretty good broth.

Ramen made with chicken stock as the base tends to have a lighter flavor, resembling the taste of familiar chicken-flavored instant noodles. Fortunately, that’s not the case here. Despite its lighter profile compared to other types of ramen, it still maintains a satisfying richness. It’s easy to understand why this place is popular; the ramen pairs well with drinks. However, what’s even better is their Mazesoba. I wasn’t a fan when I tried it years ago, but I’m glad to have discovered a newfound love for it here.
