Access

There are several stores in Fukuoka City, with the main store located in Tenjin. One of the branches is also located in Hakata Menkaido, in Hakata Station. When I arrive at Hakata Station on the Shinkansen, I often go straight to the restaurant next to the ticket gate of Hakata Station to eat. If you arrive to Fukuoka (Hakata) via Bullet Train, you can visit the restaurant within 5 minutes. Please stop by!

Inside the restaurant

The Hakata Deitos branch has 42 seats at tables. I’m sure the number of seats will change in the future, but when I visit, there is almost no line to get in, but even so, the seats in the restaurant are often quite occupied even when I visit between 3 and 4 pm.

If you have large luggage, you can ask the staff at the entrance of the restaurant to keep it for you, so you don’t have to worry about having a large suitcase.

The menu is, of course, centered around ramen. You can choose the ramen first, and then add fried rice or gyoza to make a set. If you still can’t get enough, you can order a second bowl of noodles (called “Kaedama”), which is a Hakata specialty. If you eat a lot, you can get a ramen set including ramen and fried rice, and if you are a small eater, you can get only ramen to fill up your stomach.

Hakata Shin Shin Ramen (700 Japanese Yen)

It is the simplest Hakata ramen. It is really a royal pork bone ramen. Of course, the noodles are thin. When you order, you will be asked, “How long do you want to boil the noodles? When you order, you will be asked, “How long do you want to boil the noodles? I ask for “balikata (hard)”. When I come back to Fukuoka, this is the first ramen I eat!

Kaedama (150 Japanese Yen)

When you ask for a refill, you will get only noodles on a small plate like the one above. When you order a refill, leave out the ramen soup! Personally, I like to leave the red ginger and other ingredients out of the first bowl of ramen soup, and try to arrange it when the replacement ramen comes.

Fried Rice

Japanese fried rice! That’s what fried rice is called. You can enjoy the Japanese style fried rice, which is different from the fried rice you can get in Chinese restaurants. I love it.

Shin Shin is recommended for these people

In Fukuoka, there are many famous ramen stores that are known for their delicious ramen. All of them have their own individuality, but I think Shin Shin Ramen is pretty close to the basic form. Before trying the various Hakata ramen in Fukuoka, why not try the royal ramen first, and then try the other sub-types?
