Michelin-Starred Soba, No MSG Required: Tsuta at 313@Somerset
The World's First Michelin-Starred Ramen
Tsuta holds a genuinely historic title: founded by Chef Yuki Onishi in 2012 in Tokyo, it became the world's first Michelin-starred ramen restaurant. Driven by a mission to create truly original flavours, Tsuta redefines the classic ramen experience using only premium, natural ingredients — no artificial components or MSG in any of its dishes.
The 313@Somerset outlet is located on Level 1, just steps from the escalator at Somerset MRT Station, operating as Tsuta Japanese Dining — a spin-off concept that extends Chef Yuki's craft beyond ramen into maki, temaki, and rice bowls.
Noodles Made Fresh, Broths Brewed for Hours
Every bowl at Tsuta begins with noodles made fresh daily from four types of whole wheat flour, delivering a distinctively firm bite and smooth texture. The house-made broths are brewed meticulously for hours, resulting in complex, multi-layered umami flavours that reflect the exacting standards which earned Tsuta its Michelin recognition in Tokyo.
The menu has since expanded beyond the original ramen concept, drawing inspiration from beloved Tokyo institutions — including the Tsujihan Don ($21.80++), a tribute to the famous hours-long-queue kaisen don at Tsujihan restaurant, topped with a generous mountain of sashimi and finished with chicken broth.
Pro Tip: If you love truffle, don't miss the Premium Char Siu Shoyu Soba ($18.80) — its balsamic truffle sauce brings a genuinely refined edge to a classic bowl of noodles.
What to Order
Beyond the signature Shoyu Soba, adventurous diners should try the Crab Soba with Premium Char Siu & Crab Shell ($23.80), featuring flame-torched Japanese snow crab meat served in a broth cooked with fresh mud crabs for hours. For bolder flavours, the Kurobishio Tonkotsu Soba ($12.80) brings aromatic black garlic oil, while the Mala Tonkotsu Soba ($13.80) adds a spicy Sichuan peppercorn kick.
Don't overlook the Temaki (Sushi Cones) — hand-rolled and easy to eat, available with fillings like Ikura ($8), Negitoro ($8), and luxurious Uni ($18), made with sea urchin flown in fresh from Hokkaido.

Pro Tip: If you're torn between soup bases, ask staff which broth pairs best with your chosen toppings — each of Tsuta's soba bowls is deliberately balanced around a specific flavour profile, and the right pairing makes a genuine difference.
