Hakata Ramen is widely known as the best tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen in Japan, and it is easily Fukuoka’s most famous food (with mentaiko likely coming in as a close second). Handmade noodles, rich-and-oily broth, savory slabs of chashu pork and ingredients arranged with simple refinement define this delicious dish.
Broth: The soup is the foundation of the ramen, and a ramen with bad broth cannot be considered good ramen. The four most common types of soup bases are shoyu (soy sauce), miso, shio (salt), and tonkotsu (pork-bone soup), with most shops in Fukuoka serving tonkotsu or combinations of tonkotsu and other broth types (chicken, sesame, shoyu, etc.).
Noodles: Noodles are another factor that can make or break a bowl of ramen, although average-tasting noodles can sometimes be partially compensated for by good soup and chashu pork. Noodles shipped in from a mass supplier tend to be the least impressive, while noodles hand-made in the shop (almost never the case with chain shops) are obviously the tastiest. Noodle thickness varies by shop and region. When you order, you can request hard, soft or regular noodles. Note that a second order of noodles only can be ordered if you have eaten everything but the broth and are still feeling hungry (this is called kaedama, and it is a unique Fukuoka tradition not found in some parts of Japan).
Toppings: The most common toppings for ramen are , chashu (thick, fatty pork slices), green onions, mushrooms, beni shoga (red ginger strips pickled in umezu), and harf boiled eggs.
How to eat: Your ramen will come with a spoon and chopsticks, and there will be condiments such as garlic, ginger, beni shoga, sauces and spices on the counter in front of you. Add whatever you like, and sample the soup first if you want to by using the spoon. When you eat the noodles, use your chopsticks to bring them to your mouth, and then suck them in using your throat, rather than your lips—this is important, as using your throat (using lung power) will move the noodles down quickly and cool them as a result. It’s perfectly normal to make slurping sounds when you eat ramen in Japan, and the abovementioned method usually produces such noises. After eating the noodles and toppings, it’s also fine to pick up the bowl and drink the remaining soup directly from it. While many countries don’t have such eating customs, there is no reason to feel self-conscious or nervous when doing these things in a Japan. People may even be impressed that you know how to eat like a local!
