    Fukuoka Pref. Kurumeshi Torihokamachi 11-8
    This is the main store of Taiho Ramen, which opened in 1951. Its tonkotsu soup has stewed for half a century and the traditional “yobimodoshi soup” was created here. The chashu pork, prepared from the leg or rib depending on the menu, attest to the care taken by the cooks. It is around eight minutes on foot from Nishitetsu Kurume Station.

    One of the oldest Tonkotsu Ramen restaurant. Depending on your experience of Tokontsu ramen, some people may not tolerate this smell. Locals love the flavor and the taste of this ramen.

    Fukuoka Pref. Omutashi Nishiminatomachi 2-6
    A historic building located in Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture which was erected in 1908 and which was used as a social gathering hall by the Mitsui zaibatsu (conglomerate), accommodations for foreign officers, and as a reception hall for the Imperial household as well as political and industrial circles. The highly formal and showy interior and antique furnishings of this Western-style, white-walled building help give a sense of the period in which it flourished. In addition to a tea room, there is a restaurant inside with an excellent view of the garden where visitors can enjoy gorgeous courses at tea time. The Traditional Minato Club Curry Set is particularly popular.

    I was part of a small group that had lunch at the Mitsui Minato Club in February, 2019. The food and service were very good. I would go back again next time I am in Omuta.

    お手頃なうどん店。たしかにお手頃なんですが、麺は粉っぽさが残り、福岡のうどんといえばスープが大事ですが、スープはあまり好みではなかったです。たくさんのお客様で賑わってました。数ヶ月前に値上げしたそうですが、他のうどん店と比較してもなかなかお手頃だと思います。
