In a few days, it will be Santouka day. You’re probably thinking, Santouka what?
Santouka is a Hokkaido ramen restaurant, and on Santouka day (10 Mar), you can get a bowl of piping hot and aromatic ramen for just $3.10 at their The Central outlet.
The bowls normally cost around $14 each.
There’ll be 4 flavours of broth available for your choosing — Shio, Shoyu, Miso and Kara-Miso. Here’s a short 101 about ramen broths in case you’ve been choosing them by rolling a dice.
Shio means ‘salt’. The broth is light-coloured, clear and, naturally, slightly saltier than the other 3 flavours.
Shoyu means ‘soy sauce’, which is why Shoyu broths are a mix of salty and sweet.
Miso is usually used in soups served as sides. The ingredient will give the broth a unique cloudy appearance as well as a unique taste.
Finally, Kara-Miso is just like Miso, except with a hint of spiciness.
Unlike most promotions, you can’t just walk in and order a bowl for $3.10.
You have to show the staff an e-coupon, which you can get when you sign up on the JPassport website. The process shouldn’t take you more than 3 minutes.
Each customer will only be allowed to redeem the coupon once. It’s obviously going to be buffet-style, gladiator chaos if there wasn’t a limit.
Santouka’s ramen promotion lasts the entire day. So it doesn’t matter whether you want ramen for brunch, lunch, teatime or dinner — you’ll get your delicious $3.10 medium-sized ramen.
Happy Santouka day, fellow ramen rangers.
