Established all the way back in 1967, Sanpoutei Ramen originates from Niigata, Japan and it opened its first restaurant in Singapore back in March 2014.
The soup stock here is painstakingly made using good-quality sardines, which the brand claims is hard to find even in Japan. To maintain the flavour of their soup base, they even go to great lengths to special dried sardine imported from Japan directly in a special package to prevent it from oxidising. Once the dried sardines arrive in Singapore, the soup is then stewed for over 7 hours for that rich, addictive taste.
The shoyu used is also carefully prepared and is made from an ingredient called Sasakami Kiage, which is an aged and textured shoyu prepared using a wooden barrel.
And that’s not all — the ramen noodles here are handmade fresh in the shop every day using a special noodle machine, which gives it its distinct texture.
Signature
NIGATA SHOYU Ramen w Flavoured Soft-Boiled Egg, NIKUMORI Rich MISO Ramen w Special Full-Topping
This has easily become one of my favourite ramen spots in Singapore. I first visited it on a Wednesday night at around 8pm and even then, there was a long queue. I waited a good 15 minutes before I managed to get a table, but it was well-worth the wait!
While their shoyu ramen is popular, I was curious to see how their Rich Dried Sardine Tsukemen would fare as they pride themselves in using imported dried sardines. For the uninitiated, tsukemen is a dipping ramen and instead of your noodles coming together in the same bowl as your soup, the components are separated, so you have to dip the noodles into the soup. This helps to prevent the noodles from getting soggy and maintain its springy texture. The noodle texture for the tsukemen ramen here was fantastic — I realise that instead or cylindrical noodles, the ones here are a little flatter, which help to hold the soup better. The broth was also very rich, yet at the same time, it was not cloying, which was a pleasant surprise.
Apart from Tsukemen, I also tried the Nikumori Rich Miso Ramen. This features a tori (chicken) broth that is simmered for 8 hours and mixed with the iconic Sanpoutei original blend miso. It also comes topped with a generous amount of ingredients like pork belly, flavoured soft-boiled egg, green frisee, bean sprouts and very onion. This soup was very different from the tsukemen soup and while also rich, it was not heavy on the palate. The noodles were the same flat-ish noodles and these held the soup beautifully. I also enjoyed the addition of bean sprouts, green frisee and red onion, which gave the dish a nice crunch.
Additionally, on the side, I ordered a ikura onigirazu. I would describe it as an open-faced onigiri, where the roe is balanced atop a folded onigiri. I loved this very much and the ikura popped up in my mouth in a delightful way. It’s a nice appetiser before you start your meal.
