All Reviews of Hakata Ikkousha Main Store

On a previous trip to Kyoto, I tried Hakata Ikkousha at Kyoto Ramen Koji. I couldn’t stop thinking about that rich, frothy tonkotsu ramen afterward.

This time, I finally made it to the main store in Fukuoka, and I was so excited! The broth was even richer and more aromatic than I remembered. The velvety foam carried an intense tonkotsu flavor, yet it was surprisingly light and not greasy. Paired with thin noodles and tender chashu, every bite was incredibly satisfying.

After visiting both the Kyoto location and the Fukuoka main store, I not only got to enjoy that familiar flavor again but also experienced the main store’s more refined, authentic appeal. It was definitely worth making a special trip for.

The tonkotsu broth was rich but not overly salty, and it went down really smoothly. The thin noodles soaked up the soup, so every bite was packed with deep tonkotsu flavor. The chashu was tender too, so it’s easy to see why this is known as the original “foamy-style” ramen.

If you’re visiting Hakata, you really shouldn’t miss this bowl. If you love tonkotsu ramen, I definitely recommend adding it to your plans and seeing whether you’ll end up like me—wanting to come back after just one visit!

The tonkotsu ramen at Hakata Ikkousha Main Store is all about that rich, flavorful broth. It's unforgettable after just one bite! 😄

Every time I come to Hakata Station in Kyushu, I have to eat at Ikkousha! Their tonkotsu ramen is especially good. Among all the shops in Hakata Ramen Street, Ikkousha is always the busiest! 👍
