"Kitakata Ramen" is a local ramen from Fukushima Prefecture. It is known as one of the "Three Great Ramen of Japan" along with "Sapporo Ramen" from Hokkaido and "Hakata Ramen" from Fukuoka.

"Kitakata Ramen Bakuuchi" is a chain brand of "Kitakata Ramen". It has stores mainly in the Kanto region, and this "Tenjin Daimyo store" is the memorable first store in Kyushu!

Apparently there are also several stores in California and Illinois in the US, so it's clear that the restaurant is loved beyond borders. And more than anything, as a shoyu ramen lover, I just can't contain my excitement!

In addition to counter seats,

You'll never get tired of eating this every day! Exquisite "Roast Pork Ramen" topped with our signature roast pork

The dish we would like to introduce to you today is "Roast Pork Ramen" (1,140 yen).

Kitakata ramen is characterized by its pork bone stock, light soy sauce soup, flat curly noodles, and slightly thick pork belly roasted pork. It is said to be a taste that you will never get tired of, even if you eat it every day.

This "Roasted Pork Ramen" has it all. What's more, it has more than 10 slices of roast pork on top, so you can't even see the noodles! (laughs)

The clear, amber-colored soup is also very beautiful.

The pork bone-based soy sauce soup is light, but it's also salty enough to leave you feeling satisfied.

Personally, I recommend adding the black pepper from the table 2-3 times. It goes perfectly with the drink.

The noodles are hand-kneaded with a high water content and are aged just before serving.

It has a chewy yet smooth texture that makes you want to slurp it up with all your might.

Thin noodles are the best for light soup, but curly noodles are also good! They mix well with the soup, so it feels like the noodles and soup go into your mouth together.

It was so delicious that I couldn't help but groan!

And then there's our special roast pork simmered in soy sauce.

It's juicy and melts in your mouth. Each slice is quite filling, but the excess fat has been removed, making it low in calories.

The noodles, soup, and pork slices were all delicious, and it was a very satisfying bowl of ramen. Before I knew it, I had finished the entire soup, and even if I drank it all, it still wasn't enough! This is truly something you'll want to eat every day.

Great value set menus too!

For an additional 350 yen, you can also add your favorite ramen to the "Seared Roast Pork Rice Set," which comes with roasted pork rice and a seasoned egg.

This is the classic "Kitakata Ramen" set (1,170 yen).

You can choose from three types of rice: "Seared Roast Pork Rice", "Roast Pork Rice with Wasabi and Soy Sauce", and "Seared Roast Pork Rice with Green Onion and Salt".

This time, I tried the classic "Grilled Pork Rice."

The rich, sweet sauce is addictive, and the savory charred flavor is irresistible.

Soft-boiled seasoned eggs are served on a separate plate.

You can use it as a topping on rice or on ramen! It was delicious.

By the way, the roast pork and ramen are also sold on the official online store, and they are said to be replicating the taste of the restaurant! If you want to enjoy them at home, be sure to check it out!

It makes me very happy that a flavor that has been loved mainly in the Kanto region can now be found in Fukuoka...♡ As someone from Kanto, this makes me very happy.

I think it's quite rare to find a restaurant in Kyushu where you can eat such basic soy sauce ramen.

The company's goal is to eventually open stores in every prefecture in Kyushu.

The noodles, the pork slices, and the soup were all very satisfying, and although I expect there will be a long line for a while, I'd definitely like to come back again even if I have to wait in line!
