Hakata Ikkousha: Ramen Professional

Specializes in Hakata ramen 

Rich and Thick Soup 

The soup base is stock made from boiling pork bones for 24 hours to extract the rich collagen. This boiling method results in a thick soup that has no fat as seen when it is left to cool down for a long period of time. The ramen soup is also distinguishable by the small bubbles that float on top. This is the identifying mark of this area's ramen.

The smell is the one that triggers the appetite from afar. In Japan, these ramen houses do boil the soup for a long while and the very smell of the soup will attract the customers to come in.

Light and Delicious Noodles

The noodles are also distinguishable. These are thinner than most Japanese noodles. At this Japanese restaurant, there is a choice for the softness to hardness range of the noodles - depending on your preference of the bite.

Order According to Your Taste 

The primary soup base is used for the most popular ramen and changed by adding other ingredients such as chili paste or black sesame seeds. The choice is according to your taste, to include the heat level, salt intake, kind of soup variety, and how firm the noodles will be, and the toppings that it would contain, such as egg, meat, mushroom strips, and spring onions.

This is a distinct advantage as you get to choose your soup ingredients. For example, those who have a low sodium diet and have difficulty chewing would prefer to have the least amount of salt and the softest possible noodles. The condiments also add a dimension of taste such as that freshly ground sesame seeds. The meat and all the ingredients such as egg in these delicious, healthy, and highly satisfying ramen are all soft as it is a great soup.

Gyoza and Karaage 

To get to satisfy the crunch cravings, there is the delightful Gyoza and probably the best fried chicken - the Karaage is a must-have with an order of the wonderful Japanese rice.
