Hakata ramen is a popular style of Japanese noodle soup that originates from Fukuoka, a city on the island of Kyushu. It is characterized by its rich, creamy broth made from pork bones, which is simmered for many hours to extract maximum flavor. The noodles are typically thin and straight, providing a perfect texture that complements the hearty soup. Toppings for Hakata ramen often include sliced chashu (braised pork belly), green onions, and narutomaki (fish cake). Some variations may also feature soft-boiled eggs or wood ear mushrooms. This dish is beloved for its bold flavors and satisfying combination of ingredients.
