Overview

Embark on a 2-hour guided tour through Fukuoka’s lively Tenjin and Nakasu districts, the heart of the city's ramen culture. Famed as the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, Fukuoka is home to two iconic ramen styles: Nagahama and Hakata ramen. Nagahama ramen features thin noodles and a rich, hearty tonkotsu broth, often served in quick street stalls. Hakata ramen, with slightly thicker, flat noodles and a lighter, clearer broth, offers a distinct flavor inspired by hot pot broths.

Experience the bustling atmosphere of Fukuoka’s food scene and immerse yourself in the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, a global culinary sensation.
