Kichitora of Tokyo, located right across the successful Yabu, has reached its own buzzworthy heights in bringing to Manila the authentic flavor of Japanese ramen.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect now that Ramen outbreak is in Manila. I visited the restaurant together with Frannywanny sometime end of November and with dozens of backlogs, I haven’t found the time to share the discovery until today. Their noodles are made from high quality flour specially formulated by Kichitora. But the story doesn’t stop at the noodles. It even starts with Kichitora’s chicken soup, which is carefully prepared to ensure exceptional taste and quality.
For a quick reference, Kichi translates to the word “Lucky,” while tora translates to “Tiger”. Both characters are a symbol for the two families that collaborated for Kichitora. SM Megamall is the first international branch of Kichitora Worldwide.
For someone who appreciates healthier dishes nowadays, a good bowl of tasty ramen is my soup for the food soul. Slightly clouded liquid in a bowl with a shrub of noodles can easily underwhelm but that’s nowhere found here. Kichitora of Tokyo aims to bring that Japanese dining experience revolving around making ramens, with bowls after bowls that can spawn stories of delight and contentment.
