Halal Ramen, Hokkaido Soul: Ichikokudo at 313@Somerset
Singapore's First Halal-Certified Hokkaido Ramen
Ichikokudo is dedicated to bringing the genuine taste and customs of Hokkaido, Japan, to diners in Singapore. Hokkaido is famed for its bountiful seas, wide-open grasslands, and pristine air and water — conditions that produce some of Japan's finest seafood, grains, and dairy. Ichikokudo's Japanese chefs went through countless rounds of cooking and taste-testing to faithfully recreate that authentic flavour, resulting in Singapore's first Halal-certified Hokkaido-style ramen restaurant, now with 8 outlets islandwide.
The 313@Somerset outlet is located on Basement 3, offering Orchard Road diners an accessible, wallet-friendly bowl of authentic Japanese ramen.
A Broth Built on Hokkaido Ingredients
Ichikokudo's signature soup is what sets it apart: a rich broth meticulously prepared with fresh chicken, vegetables, and a blend of Hokkaido ingredients including bonito, mackerel, and kelp. The result is a flavourful, savoury broth with a rich and dense texture — and, importantly, one that's completely Halal, making it accessible to a much wider range of diners than a typical tonkotsu-style ramen shop.
The ramen noodles themselves are produced using an exclusive blend of Hokkaido wheat, giving every bowl a distinctive chewiness that holds up well against the thick, umami-rich broth.
Pro Tip: Follow Ichikokudo's Instagram for seasonal menu updates and limited-time dishes — the brand periodically introduces new ramen flavours inspired by different regions of Hokkaido.
What to Order
Start with the classic Ichikokudo Ramen ($10.90) to experience the brand's signature broth at its purest, or upgrade to the heartier Ichi Beef Ramen ($13.90) for extra protein. Adventurous eaters should try the Hokkai Jigoku (Ramen Gifts From The Sea) or the Hokkai Big Hotate Ramen, both showcasing Hokkaido's famed seafood, while the Ichi-Smoked Duck Ramen and Daichi Tomato Cheese Ramen offer a creative twist on the usual ramen format.
Fans of local flavours can also try the playful Chilli Crab Ramen, and no meal is complete without a plate of Salmon Sashimi ($7.90) or a side of grilled gyoza. For dessert, don't miss the Power Chendol — a generous ice kachang drizzled with gula melaka syrup, a favourite among regulars for cooling down after a hot bowl of ramen.
