Product Information

The Hakata to Kagoshima run takes about 1.5 hours. There are also good Limited Express trains servicing most anywhere of interest on the island, so you can take train from Hakata to just about anywhere else of interest on the island in about an hour in a half. The exception being Miyazaki which is about four hours from Hakata. The big slices of pork, “char siu,” are indeed impressive, but can you also see all the bubbles floating on the surface of the soup? They are “shiho” (fatty bubbles), naturally formed when the soup is stirred while simmering to incorporate air into the soup. These bubbles indicate that an experienced chef has used a lot of pork bones to enhance and concentrate the “umami.” This excellent ramen with such bubbles is served at “Hakata Ikkousha” in Fukuoka. You may have to join the queue of people outside but the wait is worth it to partake of their “Ganso Awa-kei (authentic tonkotsu soup with fatty bubbles) ramen.” Taiho Ramen is, in fact, a famous store with over 12 stores in Kyushu alone. In fact, they are well-known for their signature dish which they call “Old Ramen”. Another exceptional thing about their Kurume Ramen is the char siu and fried lard balls that they put on top. Thus, making their Old Ramen a bowl of exploding flavors. Fukuoka’s ramen features thin straight noodles, with nice and chewy texture and smoothness on the surface. Many people prefer al dente for this kind of thin noodle.

In Korea, ramen is called ramyeon ( 라면 / 拉麵). There are different varieties, such as kimchi-flavored ramyeon. While usually served with egg or vegetables such as carrots and scallions, some restaurants serve variations of ramyeon containing additional ingredients such as dumplings, tteok, or cheese as toppings. [48]The restaurant was founded in 2004 by the owner, who is full of craftsmanship. The owner continues to have the desire to make the most delicious tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka with a taste that does not belong anywhere. A soup that maximizes the creaminess and taste of pork bones. The scent of pork bones from this soup, the fat, and the water combine to create a delicate foam. Homemade noodles with a chewy and crispy texture go well with the rich soup. Asakawa, Gil (2004).

The Kyushu Shinkansen zips across from Fukuoka (Hakata) via Kumamoto to Kagoshima in 1 hr 20 min, and there is a fairly rapid express network covering most of the island. Some scenic local lines are attractions in their own right, such as the JR Hisatsu Line (肥薩線), which runs from Kumamoto via Yatsushiro to Hayato (near Kagoshima) and is considered one of the most scenic in Japan. These lines often feature services aimed at tourists and sightseers, such as the steam-powered SL Hitoyoshi, which runs on weekends from Kumamoto to Hitoyoshi.

Pork bones are cooked in water on high heat and the soup is filtered using a strainer to remove unwanted things such as pieces of bones. One theory says that ramen was introduced to Japan during the 1660s by the neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Shunsui, who served as an advisor to Tokugawa Mitsukuni after he became a refugee in Japan to escape Manchu rule. Mitsukuni became the first Japanese person to eat ramen. Most historians reject this theory as a myth created by the Japanese to embellish the origins of ramen.

While standard versions of ramen are available throughout Japan since the Taishō period, the last few decades have shown a proliferation of regional variations, commonly referred to as gotouchi ramen ( ご当地ラーメン "regional ramen"). Some of these which have gone on to national prominence are: Standard tonkotsu ramen looks simple. Enjoy the taste as it is first, and then add changes to the soup with the seasonings on the table and additional toppings.Kyushu is home to dialects of Japanese that are almost incomprehensible to speakers of standard Japanese, so much so that it was used during World War II for preventing interception by the Allies of Japanese communications. Even native speakers of Japanese from Honshu often have problems understanding the conversations of locals. However, most people are able to speak standard Japanese and especially in the cities younger people may also have a decent command of English. Today ramen is one of Japan's most popular foods, with Tokyo alone containing around 5,000 ramen shops, [8] and more than 24,000 ramen shops across Japan. [30] Tsuta, a ramen restaurant in Tokyo's Sugamo district, received a Michelin star in December 2015. [30] Types [ edit ] Hakata ramen’s main toppings include "char siu" roast pork, wood ear mushroom, and "negi" leek. Most ramen shops offer a flavored boiled egg as an option for an extra charge. One essential part of ramen is the soy sauce-based mixture added to the soup. Every ramen shop has its own secret recipe for this mixture. Hakata Ikkousha uses three kinds of soy sauce that are produced in Fukuoka Prefecture mixed with a dashi soup made with five ingredients. The char siu is added to the mixture to add the umami from meat. This mixture gives depth and richness to the tonkotsu soup.
