ラーメン / Ramen / Ryūzato - Karatsu, Saga
Saga Ramen. Brown tonkotsu soup is made using pork bones and meat. Noodles supplied by Kojima Seimen. Pickled red ginger is house-made and cut by hand. Master Kojima-san first worked at Kojima Seimen (run by his parents), which supplied noodles to Ichiryūken, a legendary Saga ramen shop open for over 50 years. At first Kojima-san was a regular customer at Ichiryūken for three years, then started working there and trained for seven more years. Ichiryūken closed in 2016, Kojima-san took over the space and opened Ryūzato. It is said that Ichiryūken's master Miyazaki-san sometimes still gives advice to Kojima-san. Open since 2017.
