Description
Discover the flavors of two ramen styles in Fukuoka on a guided tour, exploring the history of tonkotsu ramen in Tenjin and Nakasu.
Join a guided tour through Tenjin and Nakasu, where you’ll crawl through renowned ramen shops, sampling both Nagahama and Hakata styles. As you taste different variations of these iconic dishes, your guide will help you understand the unique characteristics of each, all while immersing you in the vibrant atmosphere of Fukuoka’s ramen culture.
In the bustling districts of Tenjin and Nakasu, two types of ramen reign supreme: Hakata ramen and Nagahama ramen. These two variations share a similar base but have distinct flavors. Nagahama ramen, known for its quick preparation, uses thin noodles and a rich, hearty tonkotsu broth that’s often served in street stalls, catering to workers who need a fast, filling meal.
On the other hand, Hakata ramen features slightly thicker, flat noodles and a lighter, clearer broth—traditionally thought to have been inspired by the broth used in hot pot dishes.
