What is Hakata Ramen?

Hakata ramen, originating from Fukuoka (formerly known as Hakata), is famous for its rich and creamy pork bone broth (Tonkotsu) and thin, straight noodles. The broth is simmered for hours, sometimes even days, to extract the maximum flavor and collagen from the pork bones, resulting in a velvety texture and deep umami taste. At Hakata Choten, we follow this time-honored tradition to bring you the most authentic Hakata ramen experience possible.

Our Signature Tonkotsu Broth

The foundation of our ramen is our signature Tonkotsu broth. We start with carefully selected pork bones, simmering them for an extended period to achieve the perfect balance of richness and depth. Our chefs meticulously monitor the process, skimming impurities and adjusting the heat to ensure a consistently high-quality broth. The result is a creamy, ivory-colored soup that is both comforting and intensely flavorful.

The Perfect Noodles

We use thin, straight noodles specifically designed to complement our Tonkotsu broth. These noodles cook quickly and absorb the broth beautifully, providing the perfect bite with every slurp. At Hakata Choten, you can customize the firmness of your noodles to your preference, from 'Bari-kata' (extra firm) to 'yawa' (soft), just like in Japan. And if you can't get enough, take advantage of our 'kae-dama' (noodle refill) option to extend your ramen enjoyment.

Delicious Toppings

Our ramen bowls are topped with a variety of flavorful ingredients that enhance the overall experience. Our chashu (braised pork belly) is slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in tender, melt-in-your-mouth slices of savory goodness. We also include kikurage (wood ear mushrooms) for a delightful crunch, fresh negi (spring onions) for a hint of sharpness, and nori (seaweed) for a subtle oceanic umami. For an extra kick, add beni shoga (pickled ginger) and a soft-boiled ajitsuke tamago (marinated egg).

More Than Just Ramen

In addition to our signature Hakata ramen, Hakata Choten offers a range of other Japanese dishes to complement your meal. Try our crispy gyoza (pan-fried dumplings), flavorful karaage (Japanese fried chicken), or a variety of appetizers and side dishes. We also have a selection of Japanese beers, sake, and soft drinks to complete your dining experience.
