IPPUDO is proud to announce the launch of its first KURO-OBI outlet in Asia at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. The quick service style / takeaway concept promises style and exceptional quality without the long hours of queuing. It is ideal for gourmands who crave a satisfying meal, but do not have the time to enjoy the full IPPUDO dining experience.
KURO-OBI was first unveiled in New York, and very quickly it took the city by storm. Since its launch, it has received overwhelming response from New Yorkers. The inception of the Singapore outlet marks KURO-OBI’s first overseas foray outside of New York.
“We are excited for the opening of KURO-OBI at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Featuring Japanese Ie Kei (house style) ramen from Yokahama, diners are invited to be their own chefs who can create their own bespoke ramen dishes. The concept is different from the traditional ramen eatery, allowing shoppers and working professionals to enjoy a quick wholesome meal customised to their preferences,” says Mr Yota Shiiba, Deputy General Manager of IPPUDO Singapore.
KURO-OBI Singapore is IPPUDO’s only concept around the world to offer 100% chicken broth — Tori-paitan, a delicate and silky chicken soup base. The ramen is served with slow-cooked chicken cha shu in lieu of the traditional pork cha shu to accommodate the cultural diversity of Singapore. Priced affordably, each bowl of ramen features 140 grams of noodles, which weigh 40 grams more than IPPUDO’s. The thicker noodles complement and soak up the chicken broth perfectly. Also, to cater to ever-changing and discerning palates, KURO-OBI allows its customers to customise their own ramen dishes. They can choose to tailor the texture of the noodles, soup concentration, stock richness and condiment add-ons such as garlic and onion.
