    An old-fashioned foamy tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen shop which has taken great pride in the flavor of the bones used to make its delicious broth since it first opened in 2004.

The shop closes when its supply of broth for the day runs out. A five-minute walk from the Hakata Exit at JR Hakata Station.

    It’s such a wonderful experience to come to IKkousha at its original flagship shop, the small shop is so authentic and doesn’t have many tourists like Ichiran which is a good thing, because the...
