It was a bright and welcoming shop with a nice atmosphere. The Daiso store was also clean, and there were plenty of parking spaces outside. I wasn't sure of the difference between regular ramen and rich ramen, but I ordered the rich ramen. It had quite a bit of pork fat in it, and it felt a bit heavy for me. Next time, I'll try the regular ramen. Thank you for the meal.

I discovered a new favorite restaurant! I finally had the chance to go after missing it several times. Since it was my first time, I went all out and had the full course meal. The ramen was even more delicious with extra noodles! The pickled ginger was a nice touch! The fried rice, as well as the chashu rice bowl, were also delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I entered the restaurant around 1pm. The seats were about half full. I bought tickets for yakimeshi (fried rice) for ¥400 and gyoza (5 pieces) for ¥300 from the ticket vending machine and sat at the counter. Since the staff didn't come over, I called out "Excuse me" to the kitchen, and a female staff member came and apologized before taking my order. The water cups and free pickled vegetables were placed in the center of the restaurant for self-service, so it would be nice if the staff could come to confirm the order quickly. The yakimeshi had ingredients like eggs, fish cakes, char siu, thinly sliced ham, and green onions, with slightly firm and fluffy fried rice. The seasoning was relatively light, suitable for both children and the elderly. The gyoza had a chewy skin with a flavorful filling of minced meat, cabbage, and a strong garlic taste, which was also delicious. Apart from the ordering process, the staff's service to customers was friendly and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant.

Char siu rice bowl set for 840 yen, with extra rich topping for 60 yen, and extra noodles for 60 yen! This time, I changed it to extra rich ramen! The extra rich flavor matches perfectly with the soup! The extra rich pork bone soy sauce ramen is complete! Everyone, please try the extra rich flavor! The char siu bowl is a great deal when it's a set for only an additional 220 yen! The char siu and sauce mix well with the rice! Even though it's a set, the extra rich soup complements the noodles perfectly! I ended up getting an extra serving of noodles! Lesson learned (laughs)

In this area, they have a rare soy sauce tonkotsu ramen! I ordered the ramen set with fried rice. The ramen was a basic one with a slightly sweet soup. The fried rice was not pre-made, they cooked it fresh when you order the set. Next time, I'll try the rich and creamy ramen!

Hello! Today, I went to Kurume City for a late lunch with Na-kun for his errands. We had curry for lunch, but the portion wasn't enough, so we ended up having a second lunch at a new place called Itaden. The owner was very friendly and the menu had my favorite ramen, gyoza, and fried rice. Na-kun treated me, so I didn't hesitate to order the full course of ramen, gyoza, and fried rice. The ramen was delicious, the gyoza was perfect, and the fried rice was amazing. We enjoyed our meal and I will definitely come back again. The service was great, and the young couple running the restaurant were very dedicated. See you next time! Goodbye! ❤️

I had to go to Yanagawa for work and passed by this restaurant, which caught my attention so I made a U-turn to visit. I ordered the ramen and fried rice set for 900 yen. There was a self-service corner in the middle of the restaurant where you could enjoy unlimited pickled vegetables and kimchi. While waiting for the ramen, I tried the pickled vegetables and they were delicious! The perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. You can also buy them for just 100 yen to take home. Since I liked the pickled vegetables, I had high hopes for the ramen as well. And it did not disappoint. The ramen had the perfect flavor, both the soup and noodles were to my liking. The soup had a pork bone soy sauce base with a hint of richness from the floating lard, not too heavy but just right with a slight lingering sweetness at the end. I could drink it endlessly without getting tired. You can also make the soup richer and spicier for an additional fee. The fried rice was also delicious, with char siu and surprisingly bacon in it. I would definitely want to visit again when I'm in Yanagawa next time. It felt like a stroke of luck that I found this place.

I had the grilled rice set for 900 yen. The ramen had a rich broth with pork fat, thin straight noodles, soft chashu slices, green onions, and seaweed toppings. Adding pickled mustard greens from the self-service corner enhances the flavor. However, the soup was too salty, making me hesitant to drink it. The grilled rice had plenty of ingredients like chashu, ham, egg, and green onions, making it a satisfying meal. I was full after finishing the set.

Today's work was in Omuta City, which finished in the morning. Since I was alone, I headed to Yanagawa City. I tried the Tonkotsu ramen at Ita-san, a new shop I hadn't been to before. I bought a meal ticket from the machine and waited for a while. I ordered the thick ramen. It was said to be from Ogori, but the soup was quite sweet, maybe because of the back fat. I ordered normal noodles. The noodles paired well with the soup. Extra noodles were free, but I forgot and ended up drinking all the soup, so I had to give up (laughs). Next time, I'll go for a generous serving.

Hello! I am a ramen enthusiast in my 40s. I visited Ichiden, a pork bone ramen restaurant in Yanagawa City, for the second time after my mental clinic appointment. There is a parking lot in front of the store, and there are quite a few spaces available in the back as well. The ticket machine was out of order today. For lunch, they offer a Gyoza set or a Chashu bowl set. I was recommended the rich pork bone ramen. I ordered the Chashu bowl set for 900 yen. The amount of soup was about 1.2 times more than the normal ramen I had last time. It was rich and oily, with added garlic chips. When I took a sip of the soup, it was thick and rich, exactly what I was looking for! It was a perfect match. The chashu was tender and delicious. The portion of the chashu bowl also seemed to have increased. I thought I was hungry, but I ended up feeling full and a bit dizzy. This place will definitely become my regular spot. Ramen has the power to make you forget unpleasant things. Focusing on a bowl of ramen is like practicing mindfulness! When ramen is delicious, life is at its best! Thank you for the meal!

Famous for its eel seiro steamed dish, Yanagawa City in Fukuoka Prefecture has a lot more delicious food to offer. From the renowned Chikugo udon to unique fish dishes using ingredients from the Ariake Sea and Chikugo River, there is a wide variety of culinary delights to enjoy. However, when it comes to ramen, Yanagawa seems to lack standout options compared to neighboring cities like Okawa. The recent opening of the ramen shop "Tonkotsu Ramen Ichida" has generated high expectations, with the parking lot already full even before noon. The shop has a bright and clean interior with a ticket vending machine system for ordering. The ramen, priced at 620 yen, has a mild and smooth flavor with a well-cooked medium-thin straight noodle. While the soup lacks a strong flavor profile, it is easy on the palate and suitable for all ages. The chashu is thinly sliced but flavorful, and the nori adds a nice touch. Overall, the ramen could benefit from a more robust soup base and additional condiments for flavor customization. The shop's employees are friendly and efficient, although a prior announcement about the free extra noodle option would be appreciated. Despite the minor shortcomings, the experience at Tonkotsu Ramen Ichida is enjoyable, especially with the delicious takana (mustard greens) on the side.

Hello! I'm a ramen enthusiast in my 40s. I recently discovered a new ramen shop in Yanagawa City called Itaden. It's located along Route 208, making it easily accessible. There is a parking lot in front of the store, and plenty of parking spaces in the back as well. I remember this place being vacant for a while, but now a great ramen shop has opened up. It's still new, with decorative flowers displayed outside. They operate on a ticket system. For lunch, they offer a Gyoza set or a Chashu rice bowl set. I chose the Chashu rice bowl set for 840 yen. The ramen has a familiar Kyushu-style flavor, similar to Fukunoie ramen in Kurume. The aroma of what seems to be Ariake seaweed is delightful. Fresh green onions add to the appetizing appearance. I personally enjoy the unique noodles and rich pork bone broth. And the Chashu rice bowl is absolutely delicious! The mild yet flavorful sauce, combined with green onions and seaweed, is fantastic. Another great ramen spot in Yanagawa City, sure to become a favorite. Ramen has the power to make you forget your worries. Focusing on a bowl of ramen is like mindfulness! When the ramen is delicious, life is at its best! Thank you for the meal!

This is a ramen shop that opened in March near the Imakoga intersection along National Route 208. The shop was packed with customers even before noon, likely due to being newly opened. There are parking spaces for about a dozen cars in front and behind the shop. Inside, there is a L-shaped counter with 7 seats in front of the kitchen, as well as around 5 tables and raised seating areas. Orders are placed using a ticket machine, and when seated, you are asked about the firmness of the noodles. I ordered the ramen for ¥620 with firm noodles. The ramen served had a slightly brownish soy sauce tonkotsu soup with a slightly strong salty taste. The soup seemed rich but had a surprisingly refreshing aftertaste. The noodles were thin with a slight curl and a slightly chewy texture that paired well with the soup. Toppings included chashu, green onions, and large sheets of seaweed, with pickled ginger, pickled vegetables, and ramen sauce (possibly for extra noodles) available on the table. Overall, the ramen was delicious, but I found it slightly pricey compared to nearby shops. However, the impression left by the friendly and energetic male owner and all five female staff members who interacted with customers in a cheerful manner was memorable.

I watched as a new ramen shop opened in Yanagawa, causing a lot of traffic jams every time I passed by. Finally, things seemed to have calmed down, so I decided to go in and try it out. The shop used to be a typical Chinese restaurant, but it has been renovated and looks very clean. Inside, there were energetic young women, aside from the owner. Many restaurants in this area have strong personalities among the owner and staff, so just seeing smiles and energy is refreshing. The counter is spacious with acrylic dividers. I bought a meal ticket and placed my order for ramen with no green onions and firm noodles. The ramen arrived quickly. When I saw the color of the soup, I found it a bit strange - it had an orange tint, not a common sight. I took a sip of the soup... Oh, it's sweet. It was unexpectedly sweet, not the usual sweetness from simmering tonkotsu broth, but a literal sweetness. The color suggested that there was a lot of soy sauce in the base, perhaps a sweet soy sauce was used? Nevertheless, it had a different kind of sweetness. The tonkotsu soup itself was smooth and easy to drink, without any strong flavors. It reminded me of the soup at "Fukunoya." It felt like they added sweet Kyushu soy sauce and something else sweet to the soup. Hmm... how should I evaluate this? It's not bad by any means, but... I don't know. The noodles were chewy with a good bite, similar to the standard thickness of Kurume ramen. Some reviews on Google mentioned that it was like champon and unique, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. It was somewhat similar to Daiko's noodles. I ordered an extra serving and added some pickled mustard greens from the table for a flavor change. I thought adding some spiciness might balance out the sweetness, but the mustard greens were not spicy, just regular oil-sauteed mustard greens, so the sweetness remained unchanged. It may have been a store-bought item, but the mustard greens were tasty. The shop is clean, the service is friendly, and this kind of place is not common in Yanagawa, so I think it will become popular. Personally, I couldn't quite understand the taste. Also, I feel like the price doesn't quite match up... Thank you for the meal.

I have been a customer since the restaurant first opened. The care and attention from the chef and staff, as well as the delicious ramen and fried rice, have made this my number one favorite restaurant. I highly recommend visiting to experience the amazing flavors for yourself. I love it!

When you go to Yanagawa, you'll feel like eating. The soup is slightly sweet, which I like.
