■ What is the Hakata Ramen Specialty Store Kochan Ramen?
The Hakata ramen specialty store Kochan Ramen is a tonkotsu ramen brand produced by 'Hakata Ikkousha', the pioneer of bubbly tonkotsu ramen loved in its birthplace Hakata and in 10 countries worldwide. As of April 2026, it has 19 stores domestically and 2 stores overseas. Its signature product, 'Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen', was perfected after trial and error as a tonkotsu ramen characterized by a soup with a solid tonkotsu umami (punch) and a subtle sweetness that becomes addictive. For the noodles, we use specially blended high-quality flour exclusively for Kochan Ramen. To match Kochan Ramen's original tonkotsu soup, we use custom-made thin noodles. The original aroma of the wheat spreads richly, allowing you to enjoy a chewy texture and supple firmness, and the snappy bite is so addictive you will find yourself wanting to order a refill (kaedama). As you continue eating with our carefully prepared moist special large chashu and crisp green onions, you can feel the authentic Hakata 'town tonkotsu'. Such Kochan Ramen is supported by a wide range of people, from children to the elderly, men and women of all ages, as the authentic Hakata town tonkotsu, earning praise like 'Fast, delicious, want to come back!'
* 'Town Tonkotsu' is a concept expressing a 'town ramen shop' integrated into daily life, which is simple and never boring even if eaten every day.
◆ Tonkotsu Ramen: 800 yen
Simple yet satisfying, it's a taste you won't get tired of...
