Since opening their first restaurant in 2004, Hakata Ikkousha has gone on to establish 51 branches both inside and outside the country. Two well-known Ikkousha establishments in the local Fukuoka area, include the branches Hakata and Daimyo. The chain of restaurants has gained a reputation for its famous Hakata-style thick tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen! One of the best loved features of "Hakata Ikkousha" ramen dishes is the small bubbles of fat that rise to the surface of the soup during the preparation process. This unique trait is proof of the thick, umami quality that comes with authentic tonkotsu ramen. Make sure to stop by and sample a bowl of "Ganso Awa-kei" (lit. pioneering bubbly-style) ramen noodles created by experts in the field!

Another popular item on the menu is the "ajitama (flavoured egg) ramen." This dish is topped with a soft bolied egg that has been slowly soaked in a homemade sauce. The "Hakata hitokuchi gyoza" (bitesize dumplings) also go down well with diners! If you are looking to experience the most popular tastes and flavors from the local area make sure to go for the "Hakata set." This combo meal deal includes a bowl of "Ramen," served with either "Hakata mentai-donburi" (rice bowl topped with a local delicacy-pollack roe) or "Cha-mayo-donburi" (rice bowl topped with a generous helping of Ikkousha’s specially prepared char siu roasted pork and mayonnaise), and a half-size serving of Hakata hitokuchi gyoza.
