Ha-Oh Hototogisu Ramen - Unique and Great Broth


For ramen fans, this is a must-try since the crab broth is so unique and is thus worth a try. Made from simmering blue crabs to extract the umami and sweetness of crab meat, the broth is good to drink on its own. Little bits of excitement in taste comes in the form of the lemon and sour cream that actually go very well with savoury soup. The yellow noodles is springy in texture, which is just right. The two thin slices of chashu are flavourful and succulent.

My main issue is there is too few toppings to go with the noodles. Yes, the broth is so good that I can finish the noodles without the toppings, but it just feels not exactly fulfilling without lots of toppings.

The place is more for functionality over super comfort, but the good part is we can quickly get a table despite the crowd due to the efficiency of the staff and the high turnover rate of patrons.

All in all, a good place to get your ramen fix and explore new tastes. And the founder’s story is inspiring, worth a read while there.

Thoughts: Love the broth!
