Kanadaya Ramen Main Branch
Founded in 2009, a renowned tonkotsu ramen restaurant in Yukuhashi known as the 'pioneer of foam-top tonkotsu.' The rich, creamy soup—made from the finest black pork simmered for over 20 hours—has zero unpleasant smell. Fans travel from all over Japan to this tiny 14-seat shop. Continuous winner of Tabelog Ramen WEST 100 since 2017. Has branches in London and Hong Kong, but only two domestic locations. TripAdvisor #1 in Yukuhashi (4.3 stars).
Praised by locals and visitors alike: 'sophisticated, creamy tonkotsu with no off-smell,' '¥750 for this quality is unbelievable.' Tabelog 3.66 (746 reviews), Yahoo 4.14 (99 reviews), TripAdvisor #1 in Yukuhashi (4.3 stars, 16 reviews). Won Kitakyushu Ramen Fest two years in a row. Many say 'worth the trip to Yukuhashi.' Latest review as of November 2025.
