Chow Buzz: Megamall’s new ramen place; guest chefs from Singapore and France

Currently on soft opening is Manila’s newest ramen contender, Kitchitora of Tokyo. The newly opened ramen house is conveniently located just across the tonkatsu specialist Yabu House of Katsu on the second floor of SM Megamall’s Atrium. This first foreign branch of a newly formed Tokyo ramen house that represents the famous recipes of Kookai, Kohmen and Daijin—three famous ramen and soba chains in Tokyo—aims to share the delicious aspects of Japanese culture to Asia through its ramen.
Ramen, a Japanese noodle dish of Chinese origin brought from China by Confucian missionaries in the 17th century is basically composed of just two main ingredients: soup and noodles. The soup base has many varieties and Kichitora’s soup base primarily uses a chicken-based broth to achieve a distinct taste, and provide a welcome change to the predominantly pork-centric broths of its competitors.
Chow Buzz enjoyed a bowl of piping hot Shoyu ramen (soy-based broth) on opening day and is looking forward to checking out the rest of its limited soft opening menu next week.
