AFURI

AFURI is named after a mountain - Mt. AFURI, on the east edge of the Tanzawa mountains in Kanagawa prefecture. AFURI has long been known for its waters, and in days past, it was considered a sacred mountain of good harvest, and thousands would journey to Mt. AFURI every year in pilgrimage. We like to think we are bringing sacred Mt. AFURI to the rest of the world. AFURI’s broth is light and delicate with a splash of yuzu, a small citrus fruit native to Asia. Utilizing ramen as a gateway we hope to share our passion for the craft of making food, sustainability, community involvement and community enrichment with the world.

Established in 1936, “Menzo Butao” specialises in Hakata Tonkatsu Ramen and offers more than 20 varieties of the dish.

The Butao soup base consists of pork broth made from boiling pork bones and sinews for over 14 hours to extract all the natural flavour of the bones. This soup base is flown straight to Singapore before it is mixed with more pork bones and simmered for hours to obtain the right consistency and flavour. The Kuroo broth is an emulsion of fried shallots and vegetable oil and the Akao broth is slightly spicy as it contains chili oil but gets its red colour from the Gochujang (Korean Miso) and Doubanjiang (Chinese Miso).

Thin noodles are used to speed up the cooking time but it gets soft and mushy in the soup faster than the usual ramen noodles, thus it gives rise to the “Kaedama” system, where customers can order a smaller serving. To top it off, the pork soup broth is boiled to a cloudy perfection leaving a smooth silky after taste while enriching the flavors of the noodles and Char Shu.
