Mazesoba specialist from Japan at Plaza Singapura
Menya Kokoro is a Japanese ramen chain that specialises in mazesoba, a brothless style of ramen where the noodles are tossed in a concentrated sauce and topped with an array of savoury ingredients. Originating from Aichi Prefecture in Japan, the brand has gained a cult following for its bold, intense flavours and interactive dining style. The Plaza Singapura outlet brings this unique ramen experience to the heart of Singapore.\n\nThe signature Kokoro Mazesoba features thick, chewy noodles coated in a rich sauce made from soy sauce, pork oil, and fish powder, topped with minced pork, egg yolk, garlic, chives, and seaweed. Diners are encouraged to mix everything together thoroughly before eating, creating a harmonious blend of textures and umami flavours. After finishing the noodles, a smaller portion of rice can be added to the remaining sauce to soak up every last bit of flavour.\n\nMenya Kokoro offers a distinctly different ramen experience from the traditional soup-based varieties, appealing to those who enjoy intense, concentrated flavours. The restaurant's focused menu and efficient service make it a popular choice for a quick yet satisfying meal, particularly among diners seeking something beyond the ordinary bowl of ramen.Based on 756 Google reviews
