What is Hakata Ramen Ryu?

In 2009, he opened " Hakata Diner Ryu" in Yūtenji , making use of his experience in Fukuoka . He operated as a small diner for 15 years, during which he created his own "odorless tonkotsu ramen." This ramen has a unique flavor that is different from the typical Nagahama ramen or Hakata ramen. It's called Dazaifu Ramen! It has gradually gained a reputation among ramen experts, and has finally opened a specialty store!

Because it was originally a diner, the interior is stylish, unlike that of a ramen shop. Posters of band members and art by his son are on display, making it a comfortable space for women as well.

Access to Hakata Ramen Ryu

It is located just a 1-minute walk from Yūtenji Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line . It takes 10 minutes by Tokyu train from Shibuya Station, and 5 minutes by train from Nakameguro Station to Yūtenji Yūtenji(every 8 minutes).

The owner of the shop imagines Yūtenji as "the very image of Little Fukuoka." He likes this town because the streetscape resembles that of Fukuoka.

No hesitation! The signature dish, "Dazaifu Ramen "

Dazaifu Hatchan Ramen is a famous restaurant in owner Morita's hometown of Dazaifu !

He loves the tonkotsu ramen made by his predecessor, and out of respect for that he named it " Dazaifu Ramen ." This ramen is different from the so-called Hakata tonkotsu ramen and is delicious.

Attention to detail in soup

Morita says, "I want to let the soup contain only the flavor of aging without fermentation," and his idea of ​​delicious ramen is a pork bone soup without any odor. It is an original method that combines the best of the torikiri soup and the yobimochi soup. One of his specialties is to warm the soup one cup at a time. Then, he prepares a bowl with a base made with Fukuoka soy sauce and a little bit of fish sauce, and pours his proud soup into it.

Attention to detail in noodles

The noodles are thin and straight, and before boiling, they are placed on a wooden lid, steamed a little, and then added to the pot. The key to giving the noodles firmness and elasticity is to strain them using a flat colander instead of a ladler. It's cool, no matter what you say!

Attention to Toppings

The pork slices are prepared and roasted over a burner every morning. Also, it is interesting (and unusual) that the pork slices are cut just before serving and heated in a special broth before being topped. The green onions are fresh and hand-chopped that morning.

↑These noodles have amazing firmness and crispness!

We also recommend having a quick drink in the style of a Hakata stall!

What I like about going to Hakata is being able to have a quick drink at a food stall. Toasting with some snacks and beer... you just can't help but drink more. And finishing off with ramen is the best way to enjoy it. Recommended snacks are "Hakata chive omelet (chive and egg)" and "plate of boiled wontons."

Ordering Method and Manners

Here we will introduce how to order and proper etiquette.

How to line up and points to note

When there is a line in front of a store, you will have to wait in line. There are a few things to keep in mind when doing so.

1. Line up at the back.

2. Line up once everyone is present.

3. Don't interrupt.

4. Do not block the entrances of other shops or homes.

5. Don't spread out too much on the road. Line up in a straight line.

Please follow the rules so that everyone can have a good time.

How to order

There are two main ways to order at ramen restaurants in Japan: buying a ticket from a ticket vending machine, or looking at the menu and ordering verbally.

At Hakata Ramen Ryu, you order at your seat .

Payment methods are cashless (credit card, electronic money, QR code payment) only .

1) When ordering ramen , you can choose the hardness of the noodles and toppings (additional charge) I will order together.

2) If you would like a second serving of noodles, please verbally order a "kaedama" (additional charge) to the chef.

A word from the owner, Takeshi Morita

Dazaifu Hacchan Ramen, which I have been eating since I was a child, has captivated my palate. I wanted everyone in Tokyo to experience the same taste, so I recreated the taste that I remembered. I want people to feel the real "umami of pork" that spreads the moment they take a sip of the soup! While there are many tonkotsu ramens out there, I named it " Dazaifu Ramen " with my love for my hometown and my gratitude and respect for the previous owner of Dazaifu Hatchan Ramen . I feel that it is my mission to leave it as a " Dazaifu Ramen" that will be passed down through the generations.

Once again, our restaurant only accepts cashless payments. We hope you will continue to support us. Please come back as many times as you like and become addicted to our flavors!
