World-famous ramen emporium IPPUDO is set to take Manila by storm, with a slated opening in September 2014 at the 3rd level of the Megamall Fashion Hall.

Hakata-style IPPUDO is famous for its tonkotsu broth (pork-based) which boasts a signature delicate and creamy flavour. IPPUDO PH will feature the brand’s signature ramen, the Shiromaru Motoaji – original tonkotsu broth served with ultra-thin noodles, pork loin, bean sprouts, kikurage and spring onions – as well as the Akamaru Shinaji – a modern reinvention featuring special blended miso paste and fragrant garlic oil in addition to pork belly, bean sprouts, kikurage and spring onions.
