Sapporo Miharu Ramen had been around as I recall from the days in Gallery Hotel and later, Millenia Walk. For reasons, they seemed to have reinvented themselves in their recent relocation to South Beach into Kinya Izakaya & Ramen (#B1-22 South Beach Ave, 26 Beach Road, tel : +65 6733 8464).
We asked how long they had been in the current location and they said it had been about a year. When we tried getting some of the ramen, at least half their ramen menu were still unavailable because they claimed that they didn't have the ingredients for them. We thought it strange for them not to have ingredients since a year would have been more than enough time for logistics to be smoothened out.
The izakaya small plates section of their menu was pretty much like any of those izakaya themed wannabes that's been opening up. Nothing mention worthy because it's mostly templated. We did get some hamachi sashimi which was not bad.
I remembered liking their shiso gyoza previously. They one that we had today tasted disappointing. The shiso flavour was lacking. Seems that Tsuta's sui rendition is currently superior.
Tried their wabushi shoyu bowl...
...and their miso tonkotsu bowl. Decent if unremarkable. Not the kind of broth that made me want to finish up after the noodles. Also didn't feel like it digested well for the rest of the day with the greasy burps.
Something feels off about them. I suspect the old Miharu as a ramen-ya is gone for good.
