Hakata Ramen


Best ramen, thus far.

According to answers.com Hakata ramen...

originates from the Hakata district of Fukuoka city. It has a rich, milky, pork-bone tonkotsu broth and rather thin, non-curly and resilient noodles. Ramen stalls in Hakata and Tenjin are well-known within Japan. Recent ramen trends have made Hakata ramen one of the most popular types of ramen in Japan, and these days several chain restaurants specializing in Hakata ramen can be found all over the country.

Living in Nishijin, Fukuoka, and being on the Kuko line of the subway system makes it very easy to commute to Hakata for an excellent bowl of ramen. Hakata is only 15 minutes away, on the subway. There is also an Ichiran that just opened near my apartment in Nishijin which is even more convenient! I probably flavor Ichiran over any other Hakata ramen restaurant because they're not only close by but they have great service and also serve a 'special' Ichiran hot sauce that gives the ramen a nice zing! I've become such a fan that I now order half a bowl of extra noodles with my ramen. haha
