Renowned for its Hokkaido-style ramen with shio flavour which has been consistently ranked #1 by media of Japan, Santouka has come onto Singapore ramen scene and quickly becomes a popular ramen place. Its two outlets in Singapore strictly and exactly maintain the same cooking standards as other Ramen Santouka outlets in Japan to bring its true favour to international foodies.

Highlights:

Excellent pork cheek ramen: Pork cheek ramen (Tokusen Toroniku ramen) is a must-order at Santouka. The well-marinated and tender slices of pork cheek go well with any of four Santouka’s soup bases. The pork cheek is served aside so don’t forget to put each slice to the hot soup before having it melt in your mouth.
Wonderful onsen egg: It is a perfect side dish to complement your ramen. This traditional Japanese low temperature egg is beautifully done at Santouka – leaving the egg white like custard and the egg yolk creamy.

SOUP BASES: There are four flavours of soup bases for you to match with your favorite noodles and toppings: shio (salt), shoyu (soya), miso (bean paste) and kara-miso (hot bean paste). Among them, shio is the one that has won fame for Santouka. This tonkotsu based soup is made from black pig bones with addition of seafood so it has a milky look, a slightly thick texture and a sweet-and-salty taste.

PORTIONS: Santouka ramen comes in two sizes: small (S$17) and medium (S$18.50)

ATMOSPHERE: Santouka at The Central Mall is a small-size restaurant with minimalist decoration. The seating area is quite cramped, but diners will be taken beyond where they are through a panoramic view overlooking splendid Clarke Quay through ceiling-floor glass windows. The light wooden hue of the interior makes it a cozy place for the best ramen.

NOTES

Be prepared to queue during peak meal hours
The onsen egg is not included, each one costs S$1.50.
There are only around 25 seats at Santouka at The Central Mall, so you can choose to have meal at their second outlet at Cuppage Terrace to avoid queuing.
