my verdict for tsuta

soup is mainly asari clam based taste, the chicken flavour that one is used to in shoyu ramen is not found in this shoyu ramen.
so the flavour profile that hits you and lingers the most is the asari clam dashi, the chicken stock is just for the rounded body taste
since it is clam stock, the clam stock bitterness is there, the flavoring agent which claims to have 2 blended marudaizu shoyu i cannot taste the specialness, only that it does not have the normal kikkoman shoyu taste, but neither it is usukuchi shoyu in taste, there is still faint taste of characteristic japanese shoyu, so if they substitute it with taihua soysauce i doubt anyone would notice the difference
also the black truffle oil if it is blended with the soup u cant really tell the characteristic of the original dashi taste

chashu is loin and to the lighter and less fatty tasting spectrum so as complement the soup
menma is kinda shredded not the usual sticks

the chinese parsley is a little redundant, i guess it is for garnishing purpose only

damage $15

The shoyu broth tastes like marmite yeast soup with mushroom taste for me. Love the chashu & noodle.

marmite mushroom lol..
that is the taste of the black truffle oil la
... for me is once and enough, clam based dashi ramen does not work well for me, the taste is too bitter for ramen (danielfooddiary claims is too salty which i suspect that it is clam stock taste takes too much toll on his tastebud because i dont feel it is too salty at all, see the problem with most food bloggers and the masses is that they know jackass about cooking and ingredients) , since there is too much soup to noodles ratio.
this is no vongole pasta thou.. in vongole the clam essence is absorbed into the pasta in the last minute of the cooking with garlic and some chili ..so vongole usually tastes amazing if done correct using good ingredients.

also i didnt taste the specialness of the marudaizu shoyu.
the black truffle oil once mixed into soup, covered up all the other tastes.
also the chashu here i think it is different from the tsuta in tokyo, this is no rosemary or redwine cooked chashu..

from a ramen shop operation POV, ippudo is still the most QC stringent and knowledgeble when it comes to ramen, i suppose. ippudo's shoyu ramen tastes like classic shoyu ramen even thou they are tonkotsu specialist. also it is not available everytime lol..

i rather eat the meehoonkueh i cook myself.lol

Tried a random one at akiba, average taste but portion is huge for yen1000.

Any idea waiting time for tsuta Singapore weekday afternoon if I want to eat 3pm?.
