Spicy Tobanjan Ramen
at Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen

with my family
Ikkoryu Fukuoka Ramen is a Japanese ramen chain. Specializing in tonkotsu ramen.
The ramen was okay. Not a big fan of tonkotsu broth, which I find to be too thick, too porky. The tobanjan (spicy bean paste) helped somewhat to cut through the richness. Noodles were undercooked, and otherwise unremarkable.
As mentioned in a recent post from Japan, I’m beginning to think that I need to do more research into ramen to better appreciate a genre that continues to elude me.
RIGHT? I never really understood tonkotsu broth – sometimes so rich it feels sticky. I prefer cleaner miso or soy broths for my japanese ramen.
