Hakata Issou Honten

Hakata Issou Honten is a Hakata-style ramen shop in Fukuoka that serves rich tonkotsu ramen. The cappuccino ramen is made from pork bones simmered into broth, served with toppings such as chashu, egg, and seaweed, alongside gyoza, and diners change the flavor with garlic or mustard greens. Orders are placed first at a ticket vending machine, and noodles are chosen from barikata, kata, or yawa; a visit at 2 p.m. still involved a wait of about 15 minutes. The smell of pork broth is strong outside and inside the shop, which is burdensome for people sensitive to smells.
