Enjoy the surprisingly clear Tonkotsu soup after arrival or before departure!

Speaking of Fukuoka specialty, Tonkotsu Ramen is what you won't forget to mention! For those who wish to enjoy the ramen right after their arrival in Fukuoka or before their departure, we would like to recommend the "Ramen Runway" that is located on the 3rd floor at the Fukuoka Airport Domestic Passenger Terminal Building.

It is a must-visit place for gourmet fans to find their favourite ramen, as there are not only famous ramen restaurants in Fukuoka but also other popular restaurants from all over Japan (*including restaurants which open only for a limited time). This time, we are introducing one of the most unique Tonkotsu Ramen restaurants in Fukuoka ― "Buta Soba TSUKIYA Ramen Runway Store"!

A stylish store that uses grey as the main tone. You will be welcomed by the noren (traditional Japanese fabric dividers) written with "Clear Tonkotsu".

You will probably think of cloudy soup when it comes to Tonkotsu Ramen, but Tsukiya's signature is the "Clear Tonkotsu Ramen" which the soup looks rather transparent. However, you don't have to worry. Although it looks different with typical tonkotsu soup, the soup is meticulously prepared by removing all the scum and without being brought to a boil, thus giving a rich umami of pork without having any unpleasant taste. Furthermore, the store serves custom-made thin noodles made from Ramugi, a type of wheat specially used for making ramen which is developed in Fukuoka Prefecture, to create a light and nice texture that goes well with the soup. Scallions and kabosu (a type of citrus fruit) are served separately so that you can add according to your preference. The refreshing citrus juice enriches the taste and satisfy your tastebuds until the end♪

You have to order by purchasing meal tickets. It is actually convenient to settle the payment at first!

Simple and nice. It's neither too strong nor too plain, you can enjoy the refined taste of char siu.
