Foie Gras Porcini Chicken Ramen Launches at Konjiki Hototogisu

Konjiki Hototogisu, the Michelin-acclaimed Japanese ramen chain with five outlets across Hong Kong, is proud to unveil its latest culinary creation: Foie Gras Porcini Chicken Ramen (HK$148). This exclusive dish, available for a limited time only, promises to delight gourmands with its innovative blend of premium ingredients and Chef Yamamoto’s unparalleled commitment to quality and excellence.

Since 2006, Konjiki Hototogisu has been renowned for its special clam-based ramen soup base. The new Foie Gras Porcini Chicken Ramen features an equally impressive Shoyu Chicken & Fish Soup, crafted from over 40kg of whole chicken, including bones, feet, and skin, simmered for six hours with a selection of vegetables such as potatoes and onions. The result is a rich, flavourful broth that is then enhanced with a fish soup made from three different types of natural dried fish from Japan, creating a complex and aromatic foundation. The two broths are combined and finished with a homemade chicken oil, extracted from 100% Japanese chicken skin, to add a luxurious sheen and depth of flavour.

The ramen is adorned with toppings that elevate the dish to gourmet status. The Japanese Chicken Breast, slow-cooked at 65 degrees Celsius for tenderness, is complemented by decadent Pan-fried Foie Gras, which adds a rich, buttery texture that is both indulgent and satisfying. The Fried Porcini with Dried Tomato delivers an extra layer of umami and earthy flavours that are perfect for the winter season.

Konjiki Hototogisu’s signature ramen noodles are a testament to Chef Yamamoto’s innovation and are painstakingly made from five different types of 100% Japanese flour, including the special “haru-yo-koi” wheat flour from Hokkaido, typically used in bread and bakery products. This unique blend creates a whole grain noodle with a texture that is a hybrid of soba and thin ramen noodles, offering an unparalleled dining experience.

Also new to the menu are two exclusive sparkling teas from Hong Kong-based tea brewer, Mindful Sparks. Enjoy Sparkling Oolong Tea and Sparkling Calamansi Genmaicha (+HK$28 per bottle) alongside their signature ramen. These innovative and refreshing drinks not only complement the flavours and unique aromatics found in dishes across the Konjiki Hototogisu menu, but deliver an unparalleled tasting experience by softly lifting the rich fattiness of the foie gras and chicken oil in each new limited edition bowl.

The Foie Gras Porcini Chicken Ramen and sparkling teas are now available for a limited time at all Konjiki Hototogisu outlets in Hong Kong. Ramen aficionados and food enthusiasts are invited to indulge in this exquisite dish and experience the artistry and passion that Konjiki Hototogisu brings to every bowl of ramen.
