In early November, I had the opportunity to join a drinking party with the famous ramen enthusiast Maro-san (who eats about 1800 bowls of ramen a year). On the way to the party in Hakoizaki, we had some time to spare, so we decided to visit Ichiraku, a place we had never been before. The shop was open, with a sign that read "Ramen, Pork Feet, Oden, Rice" and a sign above with the word "Yakitori" as well. Inside, there was an L-shaped counter with three customers seated, and an elderly chef cooking yakitori alone in the kitchen. We sat at the counter and ordered ramen, as it was before the drinking party. The ramen came with chashu, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, green onions, nori, and a half-cut boiled egg from the oden, sprinkled with sesame seeds. The soup was light in flavor but the seasoning was well done, making it enjoyable. The noodles were quite soft, but they mixed well with the soup and I personally liked it. It reminded me of a well-made instant ramen, which is a compliment. Overall, it was a satisfying ramen for 450 yen, finishing off with yakitori. It seemed unrelated to the Ichiraku Ramen chain in Fukuoka city and its surroundings. #Ichiraku #Higashi-ku, Fukuoka #Yakitori Izakaya #Ramen #Tonkotsu Ramen #Fukuoka Gourmet #Noodlestagram #Gaso #Ramen Lover Gaso-san #gaso #ramen #tonkotsu #fukuoka #gourmet

The other day, after eating soy sauce ramen at Komaya, I felt like having some tonkotsu ramen too. As I was heading back to the parking lot, I happened to come across a ramen shop called "Ichiraku" nearby! I decided to give it a try. The interior of the shop had only counter seats in an L-shape. It was run by a slightly older man. I promptly ordered a bowl of ramen. And I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the ramen was only 450 yen! It was a simple and traditional ramen with soft noodles and a not too strong soup. I recommend it to those who want to enjoy a quick and affordable bowl of ramen.

Bike broke down, pushed it to the underground parking lot in Maizuru from Tenjin, took a break, and headed to "Ichiraku" in Maizuru. Maizuru Chuo Shopping Street used to be bustling, but by 9:00 at night, it's pretty quiet. Ichiraku is a small counter-only shop. As I was enjoying a draft beer, three appetizers appeared - fish nanban, grilled eggplant, and shrimp and cucumber with mustard miso. All of them were delicious! This place is quite authentic despite its location and appearance. The sign says ramen, yakitori, and oden. I decided to try the yakitori - skin, belly, gizzard, liver - not bad at all, and only 80 yen per skewer! Found a great hidden gem. Had some shochu with sweet potato, slowly enjoyed it, and finished. But with the hot summer and multiple bike troubles, it's getting frustrating.店情報一楽福岡市東区馬出2-5-21
