Ie-kei (家系) ramen, which hails from Yokohama, is known for its thick noodles in a rich, soy-flavored pork broth, often referred to as tonkotsu-shoyu. What makes it unique is the concept of ajihen (味変), where you can continuously adjust the flavors by adding different seasonings throughout the meal.

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 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.

In this review, I’m looking at how Tanjiro’s “extension” reads in the bowl—what shifts in noodle style and composition come with the maze-soba/rice-set focus, and where it still channels classic Ajisen tonkotsu heritage without overcomplicating things.

Instead of the usual minced pork and fishballs, you find bowls topped with chashu, onsen egg and tare that lean closer to mazesoba than bak chor mee. What makes it interesting is not only the East meets West styling but also how it brings ramen sensibilities into a hawker priced bowl.

The shop rotates between robust iekei ramen, heavy-hitting Jiro-style bowls, and a few seasonal specialties, but what really stands out is its ginger shoyu ramen—a Nagaoka-style bowl that’s rarely seen even in Japan, let alone Singapore.

Ramen Senmon Kami (拉麺専門 神) in Kochi City quietly marries the finesse of Chinese cooking with the comfort of Japanese ramen. The chef—trained in Beijing-style cuisine before a decade of ramen work in Japan—is behind a bowl where each sip balances a deep, mellow pork broth with meticulously prepared ingredients.
