WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Established in 1968, this legendary yatai (food stall) in Fukuoka's Tenjin district is the birthplace of yakiramen — a dish made by stir-frying ramen noodles in tonkotsu broth.
The shop has been carried on by the same family for over 56 years, with the second generation now upholding the tradition.
At just 880 yen, it offers extraordinary value for the heart of Tenjin, and lines form even before opening — often stretching over an hour on weekends and match days.
