I was recommended Yoshimaru by a colleague of mine. I shall name him Evil E. He lives around the area and he has suggested to me on various occasions that Yoshimaru was better than Ippudo. Since Anthropology had a closing sale, why not? 2 stones, 1 bird and some ramen?
Disguised in the upmarket locale of Holland Village sits Yoshimaru. Opened by the seafood restaurant conglomerate Jumbo Seafood, I questioned if my Evil E was correct.
It is a small and simple Ramen bar. Wooden like furnishings with white light. You order the ramen, Jelly and I just ordered the traditional Hakata ramen and a DIY Ramen with Char Siew and Egg with sliced radish and the need to pound some sesame seeds to help enhance the taste of the ramen and verdict?
Those eggs were the best eggs I have had yet in a ramen store. Called "soft boiled eggs,' (actually its between a hard boiled egg and a soft boiled egg with a harder exterior compared to a gooey core but I digress). I give the edge to Ippudo for the broth. Service, can't really be compared because Yoshimaru is very much smaller and the noodles were a push for both (a draw).
I can see why some people like this place. And I think if I'm in the area and want to eat Ramen, I would not hesitate to drop by. Sorry Sushi Tei.
Loved: Eggs:
Hated: Pounding the sesame. It was too much fun that it made me hyper ventilate.
