Your Dining Journey

01

White, Red, or Spicy

Shiromaru for purists. Akamaru for depth. Karaka for heat (5 levels). Start with Shiromaru first visit.

02

Customise Noodles

Choose firmness: soft, regular, or firm. Hakata purists go firm (katame). Regular is safe.

03

Add the Sake

~20 sakes. DASSAI 45 pairs beautifully with Shiromaru. Sparkling sake SORAH for lightness. Try sake + ramen here.

04

Slurp Loudly

Slurping is encouraged in ramen culture — it aerates the broth. Staff shout 'Arigatou!' The experience is meant to be warm and lively.

05

Raffles City B1 Neighbours

Raffles City B1 = great Japanese cluster. sio pasta, Sushidan, Ippudo all within 2 min of each other.

Editor's Note

What to know before you go

Gold standard tonkotsu. Honest: S$20-23 not cheap for ramen — you pay for consistency. Peak 12-1pm. Sake bar best in evening. Veggie Dashi is a real vegetarian option. Safe first ramen for tourists.
