🍜 Kumamoto Ramen Hakkotei Main Store

In 1957, the establishment opened in Nihonki, Kumamoto City. It is known for its rich, milky tonkotsu broth, paired with traditional Kumamoto ramen featuring aromatic garlic oil, while continuously evolving to provide a unique flavor. The signature broth is made by simmering a large quantity of low-fat pork head bones, creating a rich taste with a refreshing aftertaste and complex layers. The standout feature is the aromatic garlic oil, carefully crafted by dedicated chefs who meticulously control the texture and degree of roasting. This signature garlic flavor enhances the deliciousness of the broth; when paired with the smooth and chewy homemade medium-thick straight noodles, it is a perfect combination. The homemade chashu pork, seasoned with a secret soy sauce, and the soft-boiled egg made with fresh, thick egg yolks are indispensable accompaniments that double the ramen's deliciousness. The best-selling and most classic dish is the "Tamago Ramen." This ramen was conceived by the first-generation owner, who loved eggs. It features two thick raw egg yolks delivered directly from an egg supplier and pork loin chashu, making for a luxurious combination. For those seeking authentic Kumamoto ramen, it is recommended to order the "Authentic Kumamoto Ramen," topped with aromatic roasted garlic, paired with homemade medium-thick straight noodles, along with house-special braised chashu, green onions, black fungus, and nori.
