I finally got around to trying the shio ramen from Nakiryu. It featured skinny noodles, firm wontons, and a clean broth, but I'm not going to bother with it again. In my opinion, the only thing worth getting here is the tantanmen that they are known for, as the rest of the items just aren't that interesting, even if they are passable. Granted, I haven't tried those miso exclusives down at their new VivoCity outlet yet, but I'm not expecting much from those either.
The famous Michelin star tan tan ramen, peanutty but somewhat flat and one dimensional in terms of flavour.
There was no line at Nakiryu when I arrived tonight, so I figured that I might as well take advantage of it to try one of their other bowls, like their shoyu above.
I'm not sure how long this has been on Sushiro's menu, but that torched soy sauce engawa behind the blackthroat seaperch in the foreground was good enough that I went back to order two more plates.
One of the things rotating through Sushiro's list of specials right now is this crab roe ramen.
Normally when I see a piece of sushi covered in mayonnaise, I'm the first one to jump onto a soapbox to shout "SACRILEGE!!" at the top of my lungs.
We've reconciled with our favourites this visit and will be back for more.
Overall, Mikuni is a good Japanese restaurant to impress your date or treat your folks.
food & ambience were great & we had some treasured moments together this evening.

This chain from Osaka now has an outlet adjacent to Xiabu Xiabu at Lazada One (51 Bras Basah Road #01-07).
I liked the interior with a total of 20 seating capacity, a bar table designed in the shape of a ship.
Overall, we were very impressed by the quality of food here and the sheer hospitality of the staff also helped make our lunch a very pleasant one.
Unless a friend really wants to try this place out, I will probably choose to head to other restaurants when the craving for chirashi don hits.
Gyo Gyo has popped up in a few places offering Japanese Grilled Fish Sets.
