There are local suppliers for the condiments. They do have the secret sauce which I import directly from Japan. I get it from them. Everything is fresh. It&#x27;s better kasi it has more flavor than frozen ones,” he told ABS-CBN News. </p><p>The restaurant’s best-sellers are the ramens under the rich broth category which are boiled for at least five hours with added herbs and spices and is served with handmade noodles, spring onions, black fungus and a quarter leg of chicken. </p><p>Customers can choose from different levels of spiciness: original, black spicy, and red spicy variants. </p><p>Not to be outdone is the clear broth which is boiled for at least an hour and has a lighter profile. </p><p>Recently, Ramen Keisuke launched the tan tan mien option with clear broth which is made with sesame paste and chili sauce, with a sprinkling of almonds. </p><p>The newly-opened second branch also offered various rice dishes that the BGC branch does not have yet. According to the owner, they have to cater the need of Filipinos, who like rice dishes as options in the menu. </p><p>“We brought in three types of dishes: one is the pork syogayaki rice; the second one is the pork char siew; the third one is the fluffy egg rice,” Go said. </p><p>“Eventually, we will offer it to BGC. Right now, we offer the sides as bento in BGC. It&#x27;s a bit different.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Ramen Keisuke Tori King opens second branch in the Philippines.

So we decided to try out and ask them if they are willing to franchise it.
