Konjiki Hototogisu!
Dinner at Konjiki Hototogisu (CHIJMES), the Michelin-starred ramen: the award-winning Shio Hamaguri (clam) Soup Ramen and the Shoyu Hamaguri ($14.90++ each), MSG-free. We preferred the shio.
A midweek dinner at Konjiki Hototogisu! ๐
Konjiki Hototogisu (้่ฒไธๅฆๅธฐ) is a Michelin-starred ramen shop from Tokyo, and the Singapore outlet at CHIJMES brought its signature bowl here. What sets it apart is the hamaguri (clam) broth: a clear, elegant soup built on clams alongside the usual chicken and seafood, giving it a clean, briny-sweet depth that is a world away from heavy tonkotsu, and notably MSG-free.
The specialty and recommended dishes, they are most famous for the Shio Hamaguri Soup Ramen, an award-winner:
The complimentary rice dish:
Shio Hamaguri Soup Ramen ($14.90++), the salt-based version, the clearest expression of that clam broth, delicate, briny and clean:
Shoyu Hamaguri Soup Ramen ($14.90++), the soy-based version, a touch deeper and darker:
Overall, we preferred the Shio Hamaguri over the shoyu, the salt base let the clam brothโs clean, briny sweetness shine, and it being MSG-free was a nice bonus. Definitely worth recommending and revisiting! ๐๐ผ
Address: CHIJMES #01-17, 30 Victoria St, 187996 Hours: 12pm-2:30pm, 5:30pm-9pm
Overall: 4.5 / 5. ๐๐๐ผ The clean, briny Shio Hamaguri clam broth was the standout. Would re-visit.
