After drinking, I had ramen as a finishing touch. It was more to my liking with a stronger soup intensity than Hakata ramen (Nagahama ramen). I chose an old-fashioned ramen. First!? Kurume ramen. It was very delicious. It seemed to have fried tempura bits (tenkasu) in it!?

Representative of Kurume ramen, "Taikan Ramen" is a ramen shop that most people in Kurume have probably visited at least once. The soup is a rich tonkotsu broth with a strong pork bone aroma. It's a hearty tonkotsu ramen. This time I had a small portion, which is perfect for when you just want a little something to eat or if you're exploring different foods while sightseeing. It's a wonderful ramen shop.

I had some errands in Tenjin at lunchtime and felt like eating ramen, so I came to Daikan Ramen! It has a rich pork bone flavor and is incredibly delicious!! I've been here a few times, but I always feel like coming back regularly! I used to live in Kurume, so I feel a strong connection and will definitely visit again. (≧▽≦)

When I want to eat rich and hearty Kurume ramen, I come here. Even on Sunday nights, it was bustling with tourists from overseas. Today, I chose the classic ramen, which is probably the most popular. The cloudy pork bone soup had a rough texture and was full of stamina, just like always. The crispy thin noodles were well-coated and delicious! The garlic soup I added for flavor variation in the second half was also great! I had been eating a lot of Nagahama-style ramen recently, so the rich and hearty pork bone soup was a refreshing change. Personally, I also really like the green tea powder-infused green tea they serve.

You can understand the difference between Hakata ramen and Kurume ramen in terms of richness. Unlike the light Hakata style, the creamy soup of Kurume ramen blends well with the noodles and offers a taste that tells you that you are in Fukuoka. It seems to be tuned for everyone with no strong pork bone odor.

Visited during a trip to Fukuoka. After researching various options, I chose Daikan Ramen. The tonkotsu ramen was a strong and satisfying choice. I usually don't finish the soup, but this time I couldn't stop myself from drinking it all. Very satisfied!

I wanted to eat ramen so badly!! I waited in line for a bit and finally got in! I thought it was Kurume ramen, but it was incredibly delicious!! The noodle portion was a bit small, I wonder? I really wanted to get a refill but I resisted. Haha. The dumplings were small!! They were delicious (=^▽^=). They even provided a hair tie, and the staff's attention to detail was amazing!! I love this place♪

When it comes to Kurume ramen, it's no exaggeration to say "Daikan Ramen," and I visited the Tenjin Imaizumi store. Usually there is a line, but surprisingly we were able to enter quickly. We waited a bit inside the store, but the seating process felt smooth. I like Daikan Ramen in the rich flavor category. It's a taste that makes me want to eat it again.

On this day, after finishing some errands, my wife and I decided to have ramen since it was already late. We bought a ticket from the machine for a regular ramen priced at 700 yen. Although I usually don't like spicy food, I decided to try the "spicy garlic sauce for ramen" for the first time. In the past, I couldn't handle spicy food at all, so I never used to try this kind of sauce. But now that I can handle spicy food, I found this sauce to be a hit! I think I will definitely use it every time from now on. If you are okay with spicy food, I recommend giving this a try.

Originating from Kurume, I have been a frequent visitor of my soul food, Daikan Ramen. Since my younger days, I used to frequent a ramen shop in Gokaicho, where there was a staff member who resembled Masami Nagasawa, which spurred me to keep going back. How many years has it been since then?! This time, I tried the "Old School Ramen." The soup is rich and flavorful, with a traditional broth that has been simmered and topped up over time. It has a strong pork bone aroma, a rich but not overly heavy taste, and a smooth texture that I really enjoy. The noodles are just right, not too thin or thick, with a pleasant wheat flavor that complements the soup well. The other ingredients are consistently tasty as well. Sometimes the soup may feel lukewarm, but this time it was piping hot and delicious, leaving me completely satisfied. The green tea provided on the table is also delicious and refreshing. I definitely want to continue visiting this restaurant in the future. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant 14 years ago. The smell outside the store has decreased significantly, maybe due to COVID-19 measures. It feels a bit lonely now. However, it might be great for beginners. I had ramen here before. The unique pork smell is unbearable. It's a great taste that can't be found in Tokyo. Adding spicy garlic here is extremely delicious. It goes well with extra firm noodles. Definitely give it a try.

Visited at 11:00 on a regular day. There was no line outside the store, and only about 5 people inside, so it was a good decision to come before the lunch rush. Purchased the most basic old-fashioned ramen for 850 yen from the ticket machine. Wanted to order half-fried rice as well, but it seemed they didn't offer it, so I just got the ramen and took a seat. The food was served in about 3 minutes. The ramen bowl filled to the brim with soup had a strong pork bone aroma even before tasting it, which was nice. When I slurped the soup, the pork bone aroma hit first, followed by depth and umami. It was really delicious. Noteworthy was the generous amount of fried lard added, which brought out sweetness and umami, making it very tasty. The noodles were of a moderate thickness, similar to typical Hakata ramen, and were easy to slurp up. Even the regular size had a decent volume. Toppings included chashu, green onions, boiled egg, and menma. The menma in Hakata ramen was fresh and tasty. The chashu was quite thin, so if you want a substantial portion, it's better to order it separately. Also, I thought there would be half a boiled egg, but it was thinly sliced like for a salad, so if you want to eat a boiled egg, ordering it as a topping is a must. It was quite delicious, so I ordered an extra serving of noodles with cash. Even with the added noodles, the taste remained consistent and I enjoyed it until the end. Overall, about 15 years ago when I had it in Kurume, I found it quite porky and had a negative impression, but this time it was overwritten with a memory of deliciousness. Whether the restaurant's taste has been upgraded or my taste preferences have changed, I'm not sure. Nonetheless, I felt it was one of the top delicious ramen in the Tenjin area, so I would definitely like to stop by again when I visit Hakata. Thank you for the meal.

Day 5 of GW. I took a day off and went to Fukuoka to engage in "ichigo-iki" activities (eating the same things as your favorite idol). For lunch, I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and a trendy café, and in the evening, I attended the pre-Dontaku festival. This year, it was held at the City Hall Square instead of Sun Palace, so there were no advance tickets required, and you could come and go freely. I enjoyed HKT48's stage performance, surrounded by otaku fans. Especially, the female fan with Saechan's (Kurihara Sae) uchiwa was ecstatic every time Saechan looked in our direction. Princess Saechan is popular not only among men but also among women. For dinner, I wanted to go to another trendy café in Daimyo, but it was already closed. So, I headed back to Tenjin and went to Taikan Ramen in Imaizumi. It's a shop that Chiyo-ri (Nakanishi Chiyori, who moved to AKB48) introduced on her channel. It was 7 pm, so the shop was quite busy, and I had to wait inside for a while. I ordered the old-fashioned ramen for 850 yen. The shop had a stylish atmosphere with jazz music playing. Instead of water, they served cold green tea, which was nice (also mentioned on Chiyo-ri's channel). When the ramen arrived, the frothy soup was lukewarm on the surface but hot inside. It had a simmered flavor but wasn't too heavy, so I couldn't help but drink it up. The noodles were thin and I usually ask for normal firmness, but this time I asked for firm. The slightly chewy texture was nice. Toppings included thin slices of char siu and what looked like a lump of back fat, which had a crunchy texture. The seaweed and plenty of green onions were great too. I thought there would be a half-boiled egg, but it was thinly sliced. Maybe they were temporarily out of eggs due to a shortage at that time. I was full, but could I eat a little more?

It had been years since I last had Daikan Ramen! As soon as I walked in, that distinctive smell of pork bone broth hit me, bringing back nostalgic memories of eating ramen in the past. No matter when I eat it, the aroma of the pork bone broth is wonderful and makes me want to eat it again. Although I usually order the noodles to be cooked normally, I am also curious about trying them firm.

My teenager wanted to visit the holy place where their favorite idol went, so we went to Daikan Ramen. It was crowded on Saturday night. After waiting in line for a bit and entering, I was surprised by the smell. Is tonkotsu ramen supposed to smell this much like pork? The smell of pork and oil made me dizzy, but the ramen was delicious. It was thick and rich, and I think it might become addictive.

I had some business in Fukuoka Tenjin, so I decided to go to the nearby Taiho Ramen. It was mealtime and quite busy, but I was able to get in without waiting. I ordered the wonton noodles, which I had never tried at the Taiho Ramen in Oita. It was quite delicious, and the wontons were just right. They had different types of garlic available, and the toppings could really change the taste. It made me want to try the one in Oita as well!

When it comes to traveling in Hakata, it's all about eating and walking♪ I found a shop where you can split the meal with your companion, making it easy to eat a small amount. Even though I went at a strange time around 3 pm, the shop was quite crowded, and I had to wait for about 20 minutes after buying the meal ticket. I asked for the noodles to be cooked very firm when handing over the meal ticket. I added various table seasonings (pickled ginger, grated garlic, spicy garlic sauce, gyoza sauce, chili oil, pepper, sesame, etc.) to customize the flavor. - Mini Old-Fashioned Ramen ¥640 A rich ramen with a lot of pork fat compared to regular ramen. Recommended for those who want a hearty meal! Despite being a mini size, it wasn't heavy on the stomach. - Mini Ramen ¥590 Simple yet delicious...! Thank you for the meal ★

I visited the ramen shop for a rich and flavorful bowl of noodles after having a light ramen the day before. I arrived around 1 pm on Saturday and had to wait outside for about 15 minutes before being seated. I also ordered gyoza and beer for a satisfying meal. The ramen was indeed rich, but not as intense as the one I had at a ramen museum in Yokohama in my younger days. I wondered if it would taste different at the main shop. Despite this, I finished my meal and enjoyed the gyoza and beer. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch experience.

Arrived in Fukuoka, Japan in the morning of March 30th. I originally planned to have a light lunch since I was going to eat a lot for dinner, but my child requested to visit a specific restaurant using the mobile navigation. We arrived before the restaurant opened, so we wandered around the neighborhood to pass the time. I ended up walking quickly while wandering, which I found to be relaxing. When the restaurant opened, we went in and ordered the "Ramen Nami" and "Ramen Nami" dishes. I realized later that there were other options on the menu like the "Yobimodoshi Red" or the comparison set, but I will try them next time. The ramen we had was rich and flavorful, with a strong punch. The aroma was enticing and made my salivary glands go crazy. I chose the noodles to be on the softer side, and I personally preferred the taste of the "Ramen Nami". After leaving the restaurant, I bought a black oolong tea from a convenience store and enjoyed it. The picture shows two bowls of ramen side by side, with the left one being the "Ramen Nami" and the right one being the "Ramen".
