World’s first Michelin-starred ramen house Tsuta opens in Manila

TAGUIG – There’s a new ramen house in town, and it comes with a prestigious Michelin star to boot. Tsuta, the world’s first ramen house to be given such a distinction, is proud to announce the opening on December 16 of its latest overseas branch, and it’s here in the Philippines, right at the city center in Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

Founded in 2012 in Tokyo by Chef Onishi Yuki, Tsuta will serve Manila its award-winning dishes Shoyu Soba (soy-based sauce) ramen, Shio Soba (Okinawa sea salt and Mongolian rock salt-based sauce) ramen, and Miso Soba (Hatcho Miso-flavored) ramen. Tsuta ramen boasts of a deliciously flavored soup base created from fresh ingredients and a blend of three different broths ─ one from the stock of asari clams, another from imported Japanese fish katakuchi, mackerel, and anchovy, and another from the stock of whole chickens. The noodles are also freshly made onsite from specially selected whole wheat and whole grain flours combined until the perfect texture is achieved, so it marries well with the ramen soup base. Each bowl is then topped with succulent char siu.

The news of Tsuta’s mouthwatering ramen spread across Japan and all over the globe, and in 2015, it was awarded with a Michelin star for the 2016, 2017, and 2018 editions of the Michelin Guide — widely regarded as the gastronomic bible of the world. This distinction is not only an impressive feat, considering that Tokyo is filled to the brim with ramen houses, but it is also a nod that Tsuta’s ramen is how authentic ramen should be.

And now five years and six international branches later (with the Manila branch as the seventh), Filipino foodies will have a new reason to celebrate with the opening of Tsuta’s branch in BGC. Tsuta Manila is a 48-seater restaurant with both bar- and table-seating setups. Local ramen lovers need not fret about the quality of the food, as the restaurant will be importing ingredients straight from Japan and the chefs underwent rigorous training from the founder himself.

Helping Chef Onishi introduce his ramen house to Filipinos is FOODEE Global Concepts, the same group that brought here other Michelin-starred restaurants Tim Ho Wan, FOO’D by Davide Oldani, and the upcoming Hawker Chan. It has also helped the launch of other prominent dining concepts Todd English Food Hall, MESA Filipino Moderne, Llaollao, and Sunnies Café.

“Together with Chef Onishi Yuki, we are very excited to bring Tsuta’s delicious ramen to the Philippines,” says Eric Dee, COO and Managing Director of FOODEE Global Concepts. “When it comes to food, Filipinos want nothing but the best. We invite everyone to come and try the world’s first Michelin-starred Ramen.”

Tsuta Manila is located at UG/F C3 Bonifacio High Street Central, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. It is open daily from 11:30AM until supplies last. For more information about Tsuta’s award-winning ramen, follow the official Tsuta Philippines Facebook and Instagram accounts.
