The Owner's Thoughts on "Morning Ramen." Due to the regional characteristics, our store's surrounding area is frequented by many truck drivers and sales professionals who are active from early in the morning. When a "Men Shop" used to operate at this location, I had the opportunity to work at the storefront as a staff member. I still can't forget the sight of customers stopping by after or before work, telling me with a smile, "It's a great help that you're open in the morning." As we restart as "Kouchan Ramen Nishitsukiguma Store," I wanted to bring back that customer joy, which led to the decision to offer "Morning Ramen." Through a bowl of ramen, I want to energize people from the morning. I want to deliver the vitality that makes them think, "Let's do our best today." We aim to serve this bowl with all our heart, like a cheer song for the local community.

As of May 2026, it has 21 stores in Japan and 2 overseas. Its signature product, "Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen," was perfected after much trial and error, featuring a soup with a distinct pork bone umami (punch) and a hint of addictive sweetness. The noodles use a special flour blend created exclusively for Kouchan Ramen. These custom-made thin noodles are designed to match the original tonkotsu soup. The rich aroma of wheat spreads, offering a chewy yet supple texture, and a crisp bite that makes you want to order another serving. By enjoying it with the moist, large special chashu and crisp green onions, you can experience the authentic Hakata "machi tonkotsu." Kouchan Ramen is supported by a wide range of people, from children to the elderly, as the "fast, delicious, and makes-you-want-to-come-back" authentic Hakata neighborhood ramen. ※ "Machi Tonkotsu" is a concept expressing a "neighborhood ramen shop" that is simple, never boring even if eaten daily, and integrated into daily life. ■ Operating Company Overview Company Name: Nishimura Shoten Co., Ltd.
