Tagaytay Day 1 – Ryuma Ramen | Summit Ridge Hotel (Part 1 of 4)
Tagaytay is at the top of our list for a weekend getaway from Manila due to the fresh mountain air, spectacular views, short travel time, choice of restaurants, and activities. If you are heading up why not consider the Summit Ridge Hotel? The Summit Ridge Hotel opened its doors in June 2009 and is a modern and conveniently located hotel on the ridge. We simply reserved a room the night before, packed a few essentials and were on the way at 9:00AM the following morning!
Debenhams Outlet Store & Ryuma Ramen on the 2nd Floor @ Paseo Greenfield City (Sta. Rosa Exit on the SLEX)
Our first stop on the way to Tagaytay was the Debenham’s Outlet Store at Paseo Greenfield City, they have discounts up to 70% and a new supply of garments every week. We noticed that the 2nd floor of the building had been completely developed to house the Ryuma Group of companies including:
Ryuma Grocery
Ryuma Kids
Ryuma Restaurant
Ryuma Ramen
They were setup to cater to the Japanese community within the Greenfield Technopark.
Ryuma Grocery was clean and tidy offering a well stocked wide variety of Japanese and foreign snacks and treats.
After meandering through the grocery we decided to load up on a few alcoholic beverages that caught our eye, the most interesting of which was the Bizan Special Shochu with Gold Leaf for PHP 650.00.
Ryuma Ramen and Ryuma Restaurant are two separate units but offer the same Japanese menu.
Ryuma Noodle Machine
It was too early for lunch, so the restaurant was still closed and we decided to grab a quick snack at Ryuma Ramen with their authentic and functional noodle machine and Japanese Head Chef.
After browsing through their Lenovo touch screen menu and asking the staff for their best sellers and recommendations we decided to share the Chashu Men, which is essentially a ramen with Chashu style pork.
Chashu Men- PHP 280.00 Net
Chashu is normally made from the fattier cuts of pork that have been braised over low heat for an extremely long time. When done properly it will render the fat out while converting the collagen into a gelatinous consistency that literally would melt in your mouth like butter.
The broth was truly exquisite and flavorful, the pork was savory and the freshly made noodles hit the spot. It was a great start to a great day that lay ahead. Have you been to Ryuma? Aside from ramen they also offer sushi, sashimi, domburi, udon etc. What dishes did you like?

I’ve been here a couple of times, and i must say, they serve the best shoyu ramen in this side of the planet! Even my younger cousins who dont really eat japanese food, had their favorite pick which is the chahan and ebi tempura. The place is very modern (high-tech tablet pc menu), well accentuated with japanese culture designs and the customer service was above the average. Over-all, if i was just living near this place, i would visit and eat at this place everyday!hihi Its one japanese restaurant where i can truly shout “ITEDAKIMAS” before diving in for the food!!!

Hi Shanah, Clarizza, and Ruby Ann,
Thanks for the comments, its interesting to know that this place is well regarded, it makes us want to take another trip to try out their other dishes! We heard from the staff that during the evenings it is packed with Japanese workers and the feeling is definitely like you are in Japan!

Never saw so many japanese people in one place! I wondered where they all came from but it must mean the food is good.
