Hakata Daruma

Hakata Daruma Sohonten is a Hakata-style ramen shop in Fukuoka that serves rich tonkotsu ramen. It offers thin-noodle tonkotsu ramen and fried rice, and adding garlic and pepper midway through the meal works well. Payment is made in cash at a vending machine first, then the ticket is handed to staff. The smell of pork broth is strong at the entrance and inside the shop, which divides opinion.
