ラーメン / Ramen / Ikkyu Ramen — Chikushino, Fukuoka

Fukuoka ramen contains tonkotsu pork bone soup with thin straight Hakata style noodles. Standard ramen comes topped with two slices of pork belly chashu and diced green negi. Free condiments include wood ear mushrooms, spicy pickled mustard greens (takana) and hard boiled eggs (1 per person). Onigiri rice balls and housemade gyoza on the side.

There are seven Ikkyu Ramen shops currently operating in Fukuoka, all run by members of the founding Iwai family. The original master of the Chikushino branch first opened this location, then a second brand which was called Ramen Kura. As the master neared retirement he closed Ramen Kura, but the bowls themselves from that shop are now used here. 24 seats. Open since 1973.
