🍜 Hakata Ramen Shin-Shin Tenjin Main Store

Hakata Ramen Shin-Shin is a popular Hakata ramen shop with six locations in Fukuoka Prefecture. With the philosophy of "a pure broth that anyone, young or old, can drink up," it distinguishes itself from Nagahama ramen and traditional Hakata ramen by creating a unique tonkotsu (pork bone) soup base. Every morning, they carefully simmer a clear broth free of off-flavors using primarily domestic pork bones, the famous "Arita Chicken" from Saga, and aromatic vegetables from Kyushu, combined with mineral-rich underground water. The specially crafted ultra-thin noodles perfectly cling to the rich and sweet tonkotsu broth. The char siu (braised pork) is simmered in a proprietary sauce, giving it a slightly sweet flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, making it exceptionally delicious. The basic "Hakata Shin-Shin Ramen" features simple toppings of char siu, black fungus, and chopped green onions. There are also variations like the "Soft-Boiled Egg Ramen" with a half-cooked egg, the "Char Siu Ramen" with generous portions of char siu, and the "Spicy Mustard Greens Ramen" topped with a large amount of spicy mustard greens for a kick. In addition to ramen, they offer a variety of noodle dishes such as "Hakata Kyoboumen," a tonkotsu soup base topped with plenty of vegetables, "Hakata Sara Udon," a thick noodle dish with a strong bite, traditional "Sauce Fried Noodles," and the well-known Hakata specialty "Fried Ramen." They also have various side dishes like "Gyoza (8 pieces)" and fried rice. After 5 PM, the establishment transforms into an izakaya-style venue, offering a la carte dishes, skewers, and other small plates.

The carefully brewed broth has a refreshing taste, with no off-flavors or strange tastes. From the basic ramen to 博多強棒麵 (Hakata Kyoboumen) and stir-fried ramen, a variety of noodle dishes are available. After 5 PM, it operates in an izakaya style.
