🍜 Ichiran Main Store

📝 Introduction

The popular tonkotsu ramen flagship store is known for its "flavor concentration seating" concept.

📖 Details

Ichiran not only has locations throughout Japan but has also expanded to international locations such as New York, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, maintaining high popularity in the competitive Fukuoka tonkotsu ramen scene. The main store offers only one type of ramen: "Natural Tonkotsu Ramen." The broth, which eliminates the unique fishy and foul odors of pork bones, along with specially made fresh noodles, is the result of continuous research and a commitment to pursuing deliciousness since its founding in Showa 35 (1960), allowing customers to enjoy this perfect bowl of ramen. Another key to its deliciousness is the "Akakara Secret Sauce," made from a base of chili peppers and blended with over 30 different seasonings. Customers can customize the spiciness from "no spice" to 20 times spiciness (up to 10 times spiciness is free). Ichiran is also well-known as the pioneer of the exclusive partitioned seating. The "Flavor Concentration Seating," with dividers on both sides creating a booth-like space, allows customers to focus on savoring their ramen without worrying about others, which has garnered positive reviews and is one reason for its many female customers. There are seven options available for customizing the hardness of the noodles and the richness of the broth. The ordering sheets are available in both English and Chinese for personalized selections. Additionally, there is a convenient noodle addition system; customers can simply place the noodle addition plate on the button inside the table to request more noodles without having to speak.
