Sunday yuzu ramen dinner with BB — yuzu ramen at $45.55. Premium yuzu-citrus ramen specialty.
We ordered:
- Yuzu ramen spread — $45.55
Yuzu (柚子 — Citrus junos) is the iconic Japanese citrus fruit. Different from regular lemon (more sour + less aromatic) or grapefruit (less complex), yuzu has the distinctive aromatic complexity:
- Floral-citrus + slight grapefruit + mandarin notes
- Strong aromatic oil in the peel
- Tart-sour-bitter complex flavour profile
- The iconic Japanese culinary citrus
The yuzu ramen format:
- Clear chicken or shio (salt) broth base
- Yuzu juice + yuzu peel infusion
- Thin alkaline noodles
- Premium chashu (often duck or chicken instead of pork to complement citrus)
- Yuzu zest garnish
- Sometimes additional citrus elements (yuzu kosho paste, yuzu salt)
The yuzu broth character:
- Bright-citrus instead of rich-savoury
- Clean palate vs. heavy tonkotsu
- Aromatic foreground vs. umami-heavy
- The proper “premium light ramen” experience
At $45.55 for the spread (likely 2 bowls + sides + drinks), this represents proper premium Japanese ramen restaurant tier.
Singapore yuzu ramen specialists:
- Ramen Keisuke Tori King (yuzu-influenced variants)
- Various premium Japanese ramen restaurants
- Specialty Japanese izakaya operators
The yuzu ramen category specifically represents proper modern Japanese cuisine evolution. Different from traditional ramen heavy-broth focus, the yuzu variant explores citrus + cleaner flavours direction.
Overall: 4.7 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Excellent yuzu ramen. Would re-visit.
