Torasho Ramen 02
I made my way back to Torasho Ramen at Takashimaya, and it felt a bit like stepping into a ramen shop somewhere in Japan.

What struck me first was how straightforward everything is. No over-the-top flavours, no heavy gimmicks. Just a bowl of shoyu ramen that tastes like it knows exactly what it is supposed to be. The broth is clear but deeply savoury, with that gentle soy sauce depth that does not overwhelm. It is comforting in a very familiar way, though it may be on the saltier side for some.

I went for the wonton chashumen because I wanted something a little heartier, and the slices of pork were soft, well-seasoned, and generous without feeling excessive. The noodles held up nicely, and everything came together in a way that felt balanced.

I also tried the tsukemen, which was a completely different experience. The broth is much richer and more intense, and dipping the noodles into it bit by bit lets you control how much flavour you want. Definitely remember this is a dipping broth, not one you sip.

There is something quite reassuring about a place that focuses on doing one style well. You can tell this is the kind of ramen Chef Sho grew up with, and that sense of nostalgia comes through in the bowl.

If you are in town and looking for something warm, simple, and satisfying, this is worth a visit. My pick is the tsukumen!
