Ramen 39 Banji is a tonkotsu ramen shop in a Fukuoka alley that many locals visit. The broth is light rather than heavy, resembling gomtang, and the noodles are thin and firm, with basic ramen and a lunch set that includes rice and dumplings. A middle-aged couple runs the shop, and orders are placed in Japanese. The ramen portion is small, so rice is needed alongside it.
