A renowned Nagahama ramen shop that carries on the flavors of a well-loved yatai, founded in 1971.
Nagahama No.1 Gion Branch is a ramen specialty shop with roots in a yatai (street-food stall) founded in 1971. It is conveniently located about a 2-minute walk from Gion Station in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City. Long loved by both locals and tourists, it is known as a place where you can enjoy authentic Nagahama ramen.
The menu features nine varieties in total, including the classic “Nagahama Ramen,” as well as “Nitamago Ramen,” “Takana Ramen,” and “Chashu Men.” The tonkotsu soup is carefully simmered over 20 hours, delivering deep richness while leaving a clean finish, and it pairs perfectly with ultra-thin noodles. Another hallmark of Hakata ramen is being able to choose your preferred noodle firmness when ordering.
Toppings are also plentiful, including kaedama (extra noodles), nitamago, wonton, and takana. There are also side menu items such as “Gyoza” and “Mentaiko Rice,” which are popular with those who want a satisfying meal. The lively interior, centered around counter seating, has a welcoming, casual feel that makes it easy to drop in. With sightseeing spots such as Kushida Shrine and Canal City Hakata nearby, it is also ideal for a bowl between sightseeing stops.
