“Tsukemen”: It’s ramen with a twist!（2/2）

Next I would like to introduce you to a personal favorite. Although I like to travel around to different places, trying different foods, there aren’t too many places I frequent regularly. There is, however, one particular ramen shop in Fukuoka that I’ve become somewhat of a regular at. The store is located in Ohashi, Minami-ku, and is called “Ponpokotei.”

It’s the kind of place you can just stop by after work, but the greatest thing about this restaurant is that they serve really good ramen at a very affordable price.

● With friends and fellow regulars of "Ponpokotei"

Of course they serve the Hakatan specialty, pork broth ramen, but the menu items that I found more to my liking were the three other types of ramen, which I have taken the liberty of naming “the three brothers,” “soy sauce ramen,” “miso ramen,” and “pork broth spicy red miso ramen.”

The three of us decided to order a different one each.

● Soy sauce ramen

● Miso ramen

●Pork broth spicy red miso ramen

After we finished our meal I wanted to get a photo with the boss of the restaurant but he bashfully refused and ended up taking the photo for us instead.

It’s a little out of the CBD but definitely worth the short 10 min train ride it takes to get there!＾＾
