My Trip

Fukuoka is the home of tonkotsu ramen. From foam-rich 'cappuccino tonkotsu' to a 24-hour originator booth and a sold-out old shop. Eating it all is too much, so the trick is to split one bowl between two and add just noodles (kaedama) to compare each shop's broth.

Itinerary

1
Hakata Issou博多一双
Ramen · 40 min stay
Famous for 'tonkotsu cappuccino,' where fine foam covers the broth like a cappuccino. Rich but not heavy—the peak of Fukuoka ramen for beginners.
오픈 11:00 직후(웨이팅 회피)
Walk 13 min
2
Ramen Stadium (Canal City)ラーメンスタジアム / キャナルシティ博多
Ramen · 40 min stay
A floor gathering famous ramen shops from across Japan. You can compare not just Hakata tonkotsu but ramen from other regions, feeling 'why tonkotsu is different' in one place.
Walk 10 min
3
Genki Ippai元気一杯
Ramen · 30 min stay
Old-school Hakata tonkotsu. A long-established shop with very rich, thick broth that local maniacs queue for. The real deal that often sells out.

Ichiran Head Office Main Store一蘭本社総本店
Nakasu · Ramen · 30 min stay
The head-office main store of Ichiran, which created the single-focus booth seat. Experience the original system—spicy secret sauce, noodle-firmness order slip—at its birthplace.

Shin-Shin (Tenjin Main Store)博多らーめん Shin-Shin 天神本店
Tenjin · Ramen · 30 min stay
A balanced tonkotsu loved by tourists and locals alike. With thin noodles and a clean broth, it's a good last stop to wrap up the 'four rich bowls' tour without strain.
