BOWL 213 ~ HAKATA TONKOTSU. SHIN SHIN, FUKUOKA.

No trip to the birthplace of Hakata style Ramen (Fukuoka) would be complete without visiting one of the legendary local shops. 

They have several locations all over the city, but I had to go to the OG spot. 

The walls are covered in signatures of famous people from Japan (hilariously in plastic wrap). 

 

Broth was almost a bit sweet in taste with zero pork funk. Noodles were ultra-thin, and super long too. 

Basic toppings, but you can upgrade your bowl with extras such as egg, chashu, etc. There are also a tonne of other non-Ramen dishes on the menu. 

There are plenty of accoutrements on your table also including, garlic, sesame seeds, oils and this bomb chilli-crisp.
