Kurume Ramen
Kurume Ramen is a popular style of Japanese noodle soup that originated in Kurume, a city in Fukuoka Prefecture. It is known for its rich, creamy pork bone broth, called tonkotsu, which is made by boiling pork bones for several hours. The broth is typically paired with thin, straight noodles and garnished with ingredients like green onions, sliced pork, and pickled ginger.
This ramen style is characterized by its hearty flavor and satisfying texture. Kurume Ramen often features a darker, more robust broth compared to other regional varieties, making it a favorite among ramen enthusiasts. It is commonly enjoyed in local ramen shops throughout Japan and beyond.
