Located at 1-13-13 Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, a 7-minute walk from Fukuoka Tenjin Station on the Nishitetsu line! This restaurant opened in December 2021 in Wakamia, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City, after relocating from its original location. The head chef trained at "Hakata Shinfu" and has since established this new restaurant. The exterior is on the first floor, and the interior has both counter and table seating, spacious and inviting. The staff has increased, and there is a lively atmosphere with energetic voices coming from both the kitchen and the dining area. The ramen has been updated as well. I tried the "Tonkotsu Ramen" as before. Starting with the soup, it has definitely improved. The rich tonkotsu broth is perfectly balanced, with the right amount of fat and no unpleasant odor. The chef's careful selection and cooking of pork bones has resulted in a delicious soup. The ramen is categorized as "Tonkotsu Bloodline Type," and it stands out as one of the best in Fukuoka. The noodles are low-hydration, and the chashu is made from pork belly, served with green onions and wood ear mushrooms. This tonkotsu ramen may be polarizing due to its unique flavor, but for those who enjoy it, this is the place to go. A one-of-a-kind tonkotsu ramen experience in Fukuoka. Thank you for the meal. Enjoy Ramen Life☆

After enjoying oden at Inachika, we had some Hakata ramen as a finishing touch. The Hakata ramen made by the owner from Hakata Shinfu is a hearty tonkotsu ramen with a rich aroma, truly authentic. We enjoyed it along with half-fried rice. Thank you for the meal.

The tonkotsu flavor is quite strong, but the ramen can be eaten quite easily as it doesn't have a thick texture. It left an impression similar to a shotgun. Personally, I found the Tenshinhan (Tianjin-style fried rice) to be very delicious, so I would like to revisit this restaurant mainly for the Tenshinhan. ✨

I used it for lunch at a shop I have visited many times!! The rich flavor with extra seasoned egg✨ The energetic staff also left a good impression✨ The seasoned egg with a strong taste and tonkotsu soup are addictive. I want to come back many times. Highly recommended!✨

It was a pork bone ramen that divided people's preferences. The smell of pork bone was strong even before entering the restaurant. You could really feel that it was simmered in the kitchen. The ordering system was through food tickets. The ramen had a strong pork bone flavor as expected. I used to like this kind of intense pork bone soup in the past, so I thought it looked delicious, but now that I'm in my thirties, my body doesn't really agree with it anymore. I think the taste is good, and I like the medium-thick straight noodles, but the pork in the soup was too overpowering for me. When I was in high school, I would have finished the soup as well, but this time I ate while thinking about it. It might be good when you really want to eat pork bone. Personally, I think it might be a bit too much, especially in the summer.

After enjoying delicious seafood at Suidenya, we headed to Nidaime KennoSuke nearby for some ramen to finish off the meal. The ramen here has a unique flavor that may not be for everyone, but those who like it will absolutely love it. While you can find various types of Hakata ramen in Tokyo, the taste here is something you can only experience in the local area. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at the restaurant around 2:30 pm on Sunday. I thought there wouldn't be many customers at this time, but surprisingly there were quite a few. I found a seat at the end of the counter. The ramen tasted just as it looked, no complaints there. The Tianjin rice had a sweet sauce on top, which I personally enjoyed. Overall, it was quite delicious.

Ramen for 800 yen. Barikata (firm noodles). Oh, the noodles are delicious. The soup is average. The color is a bit off. Despite the color, it's not too salty. There isn't much of a strong smell either. It's tasty but not like "Wow!" Self-serve pickled mustard greens are available. Adding the garlic sauce from the table turns it into Tamana Ramen (laughs). The rice is a bit dry. Having barley tea as the complimentary drink is the best!!

I had lunch at a ramen restaurant famous for its "call back" method of blending soup in a large feather pot. It is located near the bus stop in front of Tenjin Post Office. You purchase a meal ticket at the ticket machine right at the entrance. The interior of the restaurant, with a mural of boar, deer, and butterfly, has a modern Japanese atmosphere, with table seating on the right side and counter seating on the left side, next to the kitchen. - Ajitama Ramen (920 yen) The appearance is a bit dark, not quite like soy sauce pork bone broth. It contains pig knuckles, spine, and belly fat. It was introduced as having a strong and rich flavor, and indeed, when you taste it, it has a solid richness. However, the aftertaste is more about umami rather than heaviness, so it was delicious until the end without feeling too heavy on the stomach. The noodles are thin and cooked just right. The chashu pork is tender and you can taste the meat's umami. The flavored egg only soaks the surface rather than all the way through, and the yolk is not too runny, so it doesn't melt into the soup, which I liked. There are a lot of wood ear mushrooms, and the seaweed is a nice touch. The service is at a restaurant where energetic calls echo through the air. I usually don't like places like that, where the energy is overwhelming and you're rushed through the meal. However, this restaurant was different. Despite the energetic calls, the service to each individual was polite and proper, which was nice. There are also female staff members, making it a comfortable place for women to dine alone. The impression was that there were more locals than tourists, but after lunchtime, customers started coming in one after another, so it's best to visit in the morning if possible. I also want to try the Tianjin rice, which seems to be a specialty.

I had tonkotsu ramen. The second generation Ken no Suke Honten in Tenjin used to be a collaboration with TAO? It was a bit confusing, but the second generation Ken no Suke Honten is a tonkotsu ramen shop. Last time I had tsukemen, but I thought I should try the tonkotsu ramen this time. I bought the Ajitama Ramen for 920 yen including tax from the ticket machine. The noodles were thin and cooked just right. The soup was rich but not too heavy, and the half-boiled seasoned egg was good. The price was a bit high at 920 yen though. Also, I didn't order it this time, but the fried chicken set is delicious! The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It might be even more recommended than the ramen. Makes me want to drink beer, but I can't because I'm driving. I used to order dishes like the Tenshin rice set a lot as well. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to eat Ken's ramen after a long time, so I made a detour on my way home from work. Since it was a ramen izakaya, we decided to have a little snack before the main dish. We ordered a set that included a choice of one dish and 2 or 3 drinks, and shared garlic cabbage stir-fry and fried chicken. The cabbage stir-fry was like Fukuoka's soul food without the meat, with a strong and punchy flavor that went well with alcohol. They also offered free spicy pickled mustard greens as a side dish, which was incredibly spicy but a good accompaniment. The ramen had the same heavy flavor as before, delicious as always. I've always thought that the staff here have great customer service. They greeted us energetically when we entered, and even apologized deeply when the food took a bit longer to be served. A good atmosphere with friendly staff makes me want to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I went to a Hakata ramen restaurant nearby that I found when searching. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats, with a surprisingly large number of seats. The system is to buy a meal ticket first, and customers came alone or in groups. I ordered the "Noritama Chashu Ramen," which is basically a dish with everything on it. The taste of the soup is unique, not weird but different from others. It might be a love it or hate it kind of taste. I saw on Instagram that they intentionally do not remove blood from the bones when making the soup, which gives it a unique flavor. The chashu and seasoned egg were okay. The staff greeted me energetically, and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere. I enjoyed my meal. Thank you.

Hello everyone, what's up? It's MoriP, exploring food mainly in Fukuoka! Today, I visited the "Nidaime Kennosuke Main Store", established in 2008. Born in Miyawaka, now operating in Tenjin. ★Ramen (800 yen) The price of 800 yen for ramen may seem a bit high, but it comes with two large slices of chashu, seaweed, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions, offering a satisfying meal. The soup is thick, rich, and creamy with a strong pork bone flavor. It has a good amount of pork bone aroma, making it recommended for adventurous tourists and locals familiar with pork bone ramen. The seasoning is on the stronger side. The noodles are straight and low in water content. Personally, I think this is the best pork bone ramen around. The chashu is large with a good balance of fat and lean meat, although the flavor could be more pronounced. The wood ear mushrooms are big and crunchy, adding a nice texture. Even though I'm only 20, I've been finding lighter ramen more delicious lately than rich ramen. It's a struggle with indigestion, haha. Apparently, they are also known for their famous Tenshinhan (Tianjin rice), and have branches that specialize in Tenshinhan. I'll have to visit one of those next time to try out their Tenshinhan!

Welcome to Tenjin, Nidaime Kensuke! The main store used to be in Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City, but a few years ago, Nidaime Kensuke moved to Tenjin. Originally, it was a shop that seemed to be struggling, possibly due to IPPUDO's influence. It's a rich pork bone ramen shop, but since it's nighttime and I'm not drinking, I'm not feeling very energetic. So, instead of the classic choice, I decided to go a little off track and try the rich tsukemen. It's rich and seems like it might be bad for your health, but I'll go for the Akki (1,050 yen tax included) to add some capsaicin and balance it out. I ordered the regular size and also got a set of 3 pieces of fried chicken (330 yen). Since it's tsukemen, I have to wait a bit. First, the fried chicken arrives! It's freshly fried and delicious! It makes me want a beer, but I resist and wait for the tsukemen to arrive. It looks spicy, but before trying the noodles, I take a sip of the soup. It's thick (of course), but not as spicy as I expected. The extra spicy option is available for an additional 200 yen, but I think this level is just right. The noodles are chewy and smooth, very tasty, with the right firmness. I think I could handle a large portion. Inside the soup, there are diced chashu, menma, and a sheet of seaweed. I didn't try the pork bone this time, but I definitely want to come back for it in the future. Thank you for the meal!

The taste egg ramen (extra firm) soup looks thick, but I was able to drink it to the end without any stress. The seasoned egg had a slight sweetness and was delicious. It comes with two by default, but I felt like adding two more toppings because it was so satisfying.

After a year, I finally made it back to Hakata. However, my journey was not without its challenges. The shuttle bus to Haneda Airport was full, the airport was crowded, and people were clinging to the departing plane! Upon arrival, I tried to find a locker at Hakata Station, but they were all taken. A security guard explained that the sudden increase in inbound travelers has caused this situation to occur in the afternoons. Just as I was feeling hopeless, a kind young woman opened a locker just for me. The struggles of being popular, right? Finally free from my heavy luggage, I headed straight to a nearby shop near Tenjin Station. The shop was spacious and stylish, with a welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the default ramen with thin noodles and a flavorful broth that was a mix of rich and fresh. The taste was reminiscent of Kanagawa-style ramen, with a unique and youthful clarity. Despite some differences from what I expected, the combination of flavors and the quality of the noodles left a great impression. The intense pork bone broth was rich and pure, without any off-flavors. Overall, it was a delicious and satisfying experience.

I had a normal flavored ramen, while my son had black garlic oil tonkotsu ramen. Personally, I think the normal one is more delicious. The staff's service was good and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I'm not sure about ramen enthusiasts, but I think this place is perfect for a quick ramen fix. The ticket machine only accepts cash, but they also accept PayPay which was convenient.

On a holiday, open after 2pm and this place was a hit. Located next to a ramen shop called TAO. As soon as you enter, there is a ticket vending machine which I'm not fond of. I chose the Ajitama Ramen (920 yen) as it seemed popular on the top left. The interior has counter seats and table seats, and despite the time, there were many customers. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter. They served a refreshing jasmine-flavored water. I helped myself to the karashi takana and garlic chives in a small dish. When asked about the firmness of the noodles, I ordered them firm. The seasoned egg was served cut in half. They use two iron kettles and extract the pure richness of pork bones without using any vegetables, creating a rich pork bone soup that is squeezed to the marrow of the bones. No wonder it's rich, but it's the type I like. It's easy to eat for women as there is no unpleasant smell due to cooking with high heat. The noodles are extremely thin and straight. It's a classic tonkotsu ramen, isn't it?

Today, I decided to have ramen for lunch. I saw an advertisement on Instagram featuring Kennosuke, so I decided to give it a try! The restaurant had a high ceiling and the staff were very energetic. I ordered the Ajitama Ramen with an extra serving of noodles from the ticket vending machine at the entrance. The ramen arrived and it had a very rich tonkotsu broth! It's a must-try for those who love rich flavors (like me). I also got a free extra serving of noodles by following them on Instagram. I recommend this place to those who enjoy rich tonkotsu broth!

Today's lunch was in the mood for ramen. I decided to try the recently popular "Nidaime Ken no Suke" located in Tenjin 1-chome. It's across the street from the central post office, behind Lawson. I think there used to be a branch of Ippudo there before. I arrived at 11:40. Inside the restaurant, there was a ticket machine. If you haven't researched beforehand, you might be surprised, but I managed to find the buttons for "Ramen (800 yen, tax included)" and "Mini Tenshinhan (350 yen)" and made my order. The seating included counter seats, but every other seat was taken. I was directed to a shared table by the staff. The ramen arrived in about 2 minutes. The toppings included chashu, green onions, and wood ear mushrooms. The chashu slices were decently sized but a bit thin, which felt a bit lacking. First, I tried the soup. It had a slight graininess from bone powder. It reminded me more of the traditional Kurume ramen rather than the typical Hakata ramen. The noodles were medium-thin and I requested them firm. They had a good richness, but the components felt somewhat disconnected. I tried adjusting the flavor with the condiments on the table. The black pepper provided a nice aroma with just a light sprinkle. Adding a bit of garlic soy sauce for ramen helped bring the flavors together nicely. As I was about a third into the ramen, the Mini Tenshinhan arrived. I scooped up a spoonful of rice and sauce and enjoyed the fluffy and rich texture with plenty of crab sticks. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Ramen Second Generation Kensuke, which used to be located in Hakata-ku, Higashi-ku, has moved and opened as the main store in the former Tenjin Ippudo location. I didn't order ramen, but instead got some surprising items! Asahi Super Dry Mini, Tenshinhan for 330 yen, 3 pieces of karaage for 350 yen, and gyoza for 300 yen. The Tenshinhan, even in its mini size, was quite filling! The sweet and sour sauce was on the sweeter side, and the egg was quite firm. I don't think I could finish a full-sized portion! The karaage was small but quite tasty. The gyoza was okay, typical of what you would expect from a ramen shop. Overall, I had a great time enjoying drinks at a ramen shop!
