This day, work ended relatively early. It was raining, so the temperature was a bit lower and it wasn't a scorching hot day. Before returning home, I decided to have dinner. I remembered a restaurant around Hakata Station that I had been curious about. It's this restaurant here. It's a Yokohama-style ramen restaurant on the 8th floor of Hakata Bus Terminal. When I visited before, it seemed to have shortened hours and wasn't open. Since it wasn't a scorching hot day, I thought ramen might be good, so I decided to go. I walked there. I arrived at the restaurant around 7:10 PM. Luckily, it seemed to be open that day. I purchased a meal ticket at the ticket machine near the entrance. There are basically salt and soy sauce flavors, but since it's Yokohama-style, I chose soy sauce. So, I ordered the soy sauce flavored ramen with seasoned egg and a large side of rice. I sat at an empty table and handed the meal ticket to the staff. You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the richness of the flavor, and the amount of oil, but since it was my first visit, I asked for everything to be normal. I waited for my order. The staff were all young and full of energy, creating a lively atmosphere. There were fish prints displayed in the restaurant. Did the staff catch them? My order arrived in about 5 minutes. The large side of rice was quite filling. I took a sip of the soup from the seasoned egg ramen. It was delicious. It was a relatively light and mild pork bone soy sauce soup. The aftertaste was refreshing. The noodles were straight and medium thickness. They were on the shorter side. They soaked up the soup well. The seasoned egg had a creamy and rich flavor. There was a large slice of tender and juicy pork chashu. Quail egg was also included. Spinach and seaweed were added as well. These are the basic toppings for Yokohama-style ramen. The soup was so tasty that I kept eating the rice. Since I ordered a large side of rice, it was quite filling. After finishing the noodles, I mixed the rice in like risotto to enjoy the flavor of the soup. I was so absorbed in eating that I finished it in no time. The taste was as expected and I was satisfied. This makes me look forward to trying the pork bone salt ramen as well. It's located near Hakata Station, so I might visit again. Next time, I'll try firm noodles, rich flavor, and extra oil. This time it cost 1000 yen. I think it's a reasonable price. It was delicious. I will come back again.

I have visited this place 2-3 times, but this is my first review. It is a ramen shop located in the bus terminal at Hakata Station, so the access is great. Rice is a must-order with the ramen, right? Fukuoka has seen an increase in the number of ramen shops, but I think Kakuzouya offers a creamy and easy-to-eat style of ramen. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

This week, I tried a new ramen restaurant at the bus terminal. It was my first time visiting, and I felt a bit nervous dining alone. I purchased a ramen for 780 yen from the ticket machine and was seated at a table. During lunchtime, rice (small or medium) is included. I chose medium and received a large teacup. It was nice to be able to customize details like noodle firmness and fat content. However, the table was a bit cramped with condiment containers taking up a lot of space. Oops, I put too much pickled ginger. The ramen had thick noodles, quail eggs, spinach, and three sheets of seaweed. I like thick noodles, but I wish there was more soup. There was a guide on how to eat the seaweed and rice. The illustration of the ramen man was a bit creepy. The rice wasn't tasty, which was disappointing. Overall, the lunch ramen was a bit heavy.

[Visit Date] August 3, 2022 (8:25 PM) [Restaurant] Yokohama-style ramen at Hakata Bus Terminal. [Dishes] I ordered regular ramen and also rice, as expected, it had the standard taste of Yokohama-style ramen. It was delicious.

Yokohama-style ramen restaurant, Kakuzouya, located in Hakata Bus Terminal in Fukuoka. Finally visited for the first time. My company is headquartered in Yokohama, so I often eat Yokohama-style ramen. I prefer my noodles firm, the flavor strong, and the broth not too oily. I ordered the same at Kakuzouya. I love when they generously sprinkle minced onions on top. Their rich tonkotsu shoyu ramen is amazing. It seems that the complete meal in Yokohama-style ramen is to order white rice on the side, and dipping the nori-wrapped rice in the soup with a touch of doubanjiang is delightful. I'm glad there's a Kakuzouya near my office. #Yokohama-style ramen #Kakuzouya #Hakata Bus Terminal #Hakata Station #Fukuoka #Tonkotsu shoyu ramen #noodlestagram #Tabelog #foodporn

Today, I ordered the Negi Ramen with extra seaweed. It is located on the 8th floor of the Hakata Station Bus Terminal Building. As someone on a solo business trip from Yokohama, the family-style ramen really hits the spot. Unlike the strong soy sauce flavor of Yoshimura ramen, this one has a milder soup (both of which I love). Delicious, generous portions, and they even serve complimentary lunch rice! I will definitely come back!

After finishing work, I went to "Kakuzouya" at the bus center for a drink. It had been a long time since I worked on site, starting early in the morning without a break, and ended up eating lunch at 4:00 PM. Although they didn't serve fish dishes, the manager seemed to have a hobby of displaying fish prints. It had a Yokohama-style atmosphere and menu similar to Harukichiya. Even though I couldn't find out the true identity of the company online. Anyway, I started with a beer after work! I ordered the ramen with fried chicken set for 1000 yen. You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the richness of the flavor, and the amount of fat. I decided to try the firm noodles this time. The noodles were not too firm, which was good. The fried chicken was juicy and delicious, but it arrived after I finished the ramen, so it didn't really go well with the beer as intended.

I had been curious about Kakuzouya for a while. Looking at the review photos, I could imagine what the taste might be like. When I finally tried it, the taste was just as I had imagined. The soup was creamy without any separation of broth and oil. However, I did find it a bit powdery. The noodles were a bit on the dry side due to being low hydration noodles, and I felt they didn't quite match well with the soup. It reminded me of Haruyoshiya, which I had visited before. It's all a matter of personal preference. While I might visit again due to the limited number of Hakata-style ramen places in Fukuoka, if I were in Kanagawa, Kakuzouya wouldn't be on my list. Just my personal taste preference.

I had finished lunch at Hakata Station and was wandering around before heading back to the office. While passing through a corridor next to Hakata Station Bus Terminal, I spotted a sign for Yokohama-style ramen. I thought, "Oh, they have Yokohama-style ramen here too now... Fukuoka seems to have a lot of Yokohama-style ramen shops opening recently." So, I decided to check it out. The restaurant is located on the 8th floor of the bus terminal at Hakata Station's Hakata exit. They operate on a system where you purchase your meal ticket at the entrance. The main menu features two signature dishes: "ramen" and "shio ramen." Other options include toppings and rice. During lunch hours (11:00-14:00), you get a complimentary small or medium rice with your order. This time, I went for the default "ramen for 700 yen." When I arrived at the counter, I handed over my meal ticket and specified my preferences, such as noodle firmness, broth richness, and oil level. I also requested the complimentary medium rice. The table had condiments like pickled ginger, chili bean paste, minced garlic, and chopped green onions. My ramen and medium rice arrived. The rice was larger than I expected. The ramen, typical of Yokohama style, had a quail egg in the middle, spinach, three sheets of nori, and chashu. The soup was a slightly viscous tonkotsu soy sauce base, with a strong soy sauce flavor. The noodles were medium-thick straight noodles that paired well with the soup. I enjoyed wrapping the nori soaked in the soup around the rice. The spinach was a bit watery, but overall, it was delicious. I recommend trying different flavors with chili bean paste and green onions. The medium rice filled me up completely. I think a small rice would be enough for me next time. Considering the location at Hakata Station, the 700 yen lunch set was a good deal for a satisfying meal. I'll come back next time to try the "shio ramen." Thank you for the meal! 🎵

Recently, there have been more opportunities to visit Hakata Station. The other day, my husband and I went to Hakata Station for some errands, and we were thinking, "Where should we have lunch at Hakata Station?" We decided to try the new Hakata-style ramen shop that had opened at the station, "Yokohama-style Ramen Kakuzoya." This ramen shop is part of the wave of Hakata-style ramen shops that have been opening in Fukuoka recently. Although I haven't had Hakata-style ramen much before, I can see why these shops continue to open in Fukuoka. Let me share my experience of dining at "Yokohama-style Ramen Kakuzoya." The restaurant is located on the 8th floor of Hakata Bus Terminal, right next to Hakata Station. When you think of ramen at Hakata Station, the popular "Hakata Ramen Street" with shops like "Ramen Nibanko" might come to mind. "Yokohama-style Ramen Kakuzoya," however, is located next to "Spaghetti Pancho." It's easy to spot with its lanterns and banners. The restaurant has a glass front, making it easy to see inside. On the day we visited, there wasn't a long line, so we were able to enter without waiting. We purchased our meal tickets from the vending machine on the right side as we entered. The menu offers two basic ramen options: soy sauce and salt. There are various ramen dishes with different toppings. They also offer sets with extras like gyoza, and you can add additional toppings. Of course, being a Hakata-style shop, they also serve rice. During weekdays lunchtime (11:00-14:00), you can get a free bowl of rice. Unfortunately, we visited on a Saturday, so we didn't get the free rice. We ordered the "All Toppings Ramen" and the "Gyoza Set" for my wife. The restaurant provides various condiments on the table, which is not commonly seen in Fukuoka's tonkotsu ramen shops. They also explain how to customize your ramen and enjoy the rice. This was helpful for me, as I don't eat Hakata-style ramen often. I appreciated the tips, especially on how to eat the rice. You can adjust the noodle firmness, soup richness, and oil level when ordering. I initially ordered everything as normal but ended up customizing it to my liking (noodle firmness: firm, soup richness: rich, oil level: normal). After a few minutes of waiting, our ramen and rice were served! The "All Toppings Ramen" came with chashu, spinach, quail egg, egg, and seaweed. The soy sauce pork bone soup was rich but not greasy, making it easy to drink. I chose a rich soup, and it was just right. The thick noodles were satisfying, and they soaked up the soup well. The taste was flavorful, unlike some Hakata-style ramen I've had before. It had a good balance of flavors, and the pork bone flavor was strong. I also tried adding black pepper, chopped onions, and grated garlic for a different taste. The egg was not as runny as I expected. As for the rice, I followed the instructions to wrap the rice in seaweed soaked in soup and added some pepper. This is not a common way to eat at regular ramen shops, so it was a new experience for me. Overall, it was a delightful meal.

Recently, I feel like I have been going to Hakata Station area once a week for some errands. Well, there are a lot of government offices and companies around, so it can't be helped (laughs). I wanted to have lunch quickly, but I saw a sign for a ramen shop near the bus center, so I decided to stop by. There are more and more ramen shops in the Hakata area, which shows that ramen that is accepted in Fukuoka. I was curious about this one, so I'm glad I could visit at this timing. The ramen had a stable soy sauce tonkotsu soup typical of a family-style ramen, and the noodles were good! I enjoyed mixing the spinach and nori that came with the lunch with the free rice. The quail eggs and chashu also had the authentic family-style taste. It's been a while, and my stomach seems pleasantly surprised (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

The characteristic of this ramen is its rich and flavorful soup. The pork bone-based soup is simmered thoroughly, giving it a deep flavor and thick texture. The noodles have a chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the soup. The topping of chashu is soft, juicy, and appetizing. However, for those who prefer lighter ramen, this may be a bit heavy. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is cozy and homey. The prices are reasonable, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying bowl without breaking the bank. If you're a fan of tonkotsu ramen and enjoy rich flavors, this place is a must-visit.

Ramen costs 700 yen. The order of the review is a bit out of order. I wonder what happened in Fukuoka. Suddenly, there is a rush of new stores serving house-style ramen. This place seems to be affiliated with a chain that is probably common in Kanto. First, the ramen. Everything was normal at first. The dish arrived quickly. Yes, the taste was just as I expected. It reminded me of the times I used to eat it in Kanto. I added garlic and doubanjiang, and enjoyed it until the last bite. When you feel like having house-style ramen, there are places like Uchida-ya and this one, making Hakata Station a wonderful place!

I knew that a ramen restaurant specializing in family-style ramen had opened at Hakata Bus Terminal, but I didn't know it was already open, so I quickly hopped on the 100 yen bus to Hakata Station and visited this shop on the 8th floor of the bus terminal. Today, I decided to skip the punch line haha. I bought my meal ticket from the vending machine - ramen with extra noodles and a small portion of rice, with the noodles cooked firm, the soup normal, and extra toppings as usual. Oh, I saw a familiar flyer there. It was the same as the one from a shop I used to frequent in Tokyo. Maybe they had it at Harukichiya too. And in about 10 minutes, my order arrived. I took a sip of the soup right away. It was delicious! It tasted so nostalgic. I thought it was the same soup. Akko had a salt version too, and the length of the noodles was the same, right? Oh, it was so tasty. I'm full now. Thank you for the meal. On the way back on the bus, I saw a sign for Uchida-ke, it reminded me of something... maybe I'll go check out Harukichiya or Nakasu next time.

Newly opened - Yokohama-style Ramen Kakuzouya (Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City) I visited Yokohama-style Ramen Kakuzouya on April 12, 2021 (Monday). This place is located on the 8th floor of Hakata Station Bus Terminal. Another ramen shop opened on April 9, like mushrooms after the rain, more and more ramen shops are popping up. I wish there were other shops like Wakayama, Onomichi, or Kochi's Nabeyaki Ramen. Looking at the ticket machine, there are basically two types of ramen: Ramen and Salt Ramen. It's a standard to have ramen rice with a house style, but looking closely, the rice is sold out with a red lamp. I heard that rice is free during lunchtime. Moreover, you can choose from large, medium, or small rice. When I sat down, I handed over the ticket and was asked about the firmness of the noodles, the richness of the taste, and the amount of oil. I asked for everything to be normal. On the table, there were doubanjiang, pickled ginger, chopped onions, and grated garlic. The ramen I ordered for 700 yen (tax included) and free medium rice arrived. Although it is called medium rice, for me, it is a large rice in terms of volume. The ramen is Yokohama-style with quail eggs, seaweed, and spinach. First, I will have the soup. The thick pork bone soy sauce is delicious! Next, I added doubanjiang and chopped onions. A little spicy and the sweetness of the onions make it even more delicious. The noodles are thick noodles. They are delicious as they are entwined with the tasty soup. Lastly, the highlight of ramen rice is to put the remaining rice into the soup. This is also delicious. Next time, I think I'll try the salt ramen. Hakata Station Chuo-gai 2-1, Hakata Bus Terminal 8th floor store. Closed on holidays.

"Full Topping Ramen Rice Set for 1,000 yen, Negi Ramen for 880 yen"

Negi shoyu ramen for 860 yen. Requested extra fat, strong flavor, and firm noodles. Free order of rice until 2 PM on weekdays.

Since moving from Kanagawa, it's been hard to find a good ramen shop. Whenever I see one, I end up going there. Even though it's not perfect, I feel a little regret and a little satisfaction after eating.

The ramen and salt ramen were both delicious.
