Ramen in Hakata

Tonkotsu ramen from Hakata (modern-day Fukuoka) is a unique style of ramen made from pork bones boiled at a high temperature until they release their collagen, creating a rich and milky broth that’s cut with seafood stock. The ramen is served with thin straight noodles cooked to just under al dente and topped with thick slices of roasted pork, garlic, sesame seeds, and pickled ginger. If you finish the noodles quickly, it’s common practice to order a second helping, called kaedama. Although tonkotsu ramen originated in Kyushu, it has spread all throughout Japan and to many countries around the world.
