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.
This chain from Osaka now has an outlet adjacent to Xiabu Xiabu at Lazada One (51 Bras Basah Road #01-07).
