Almost every single Japanese Ramen video on Youtube talks about Ichiran, surely there are other equally good or even better options in Japan?! In this video, I went on a quest to prove to myself this very point in Kyushu Japan.
Who ends up being the best ramen in Kyushu? Whoโs the loser?

Con you your friends we are finally in Japan kushu to be exact if you think I’ll be taking you to eat youran today you are wrong I’ll be showing you three Rams unique to three cities of kushu first one is fuka and then Kumamoto and last kagoshima Steve and I will also
Pick our most favorite Ramen out of these three and let you know if they are better than ichon Ramen Ramen Ramen First St we are checking out is fuka fukoka ramen AKA Hakata Ramen is one of Japan’s fre greatest local Ramen along with sapoto miso Ramen and kakata
Ramen Hakata Ramen is ton kotu or PK bone Ramen mainly offered in faka it consists of ultra fine straight noodles with with a cloudy tongu soup initially we wanted to check out nagahama yatai yamachan Ramen in fuka no more seed full full full thank you thank you thank
You all right unfortunately it was full so we went to Ramen unari nakasu instead Ramen unari started in 2009 and has won tons of awards since then their signature dish is the seafood tonkotsu Ramen a smooth and creamy ton kotu soup with seven carefully selected types of seafood we’ve ordered Seafood honotu
Ramen with extra egg noodles and chashi the fire pork bone Ramen and the GES next time when you’re in Japan and if the Ramen Shop offers kaidam which means noodle refill you should give it a go remember to leave at least half of the soup to enjoy a refill of noodles the
Spicy level of the fire pop bone Ramen was quite mild there is a bit more depth in the seafood tonkotsu Ramen I could taste the Dashi in the broth both Ramen taste clean yet creamy at the same time which is magical their gilders were super juicy too and Pad perfectly with
The mustard highlights Speedy service clean creamy broth melt in your mouth chashu and the elante ramen Noodles next up C kumoto Kumamoto ramen’s mild POG broth is made from the Bland of POG bone and chicken bone and the noodles are usually mediumsized thicker than for quaas the topping of roasted garlic chips and garlic oil creates an extra depth of taste when mixed with the mild POG broth second
Ramen Shop we trying out is these Ramen Shop started back in 1957 by takoshi and aspiring painted turned Ramen expert Co specializes in homemade POG broth soup noodles burnt garlic oil and chashu I haven’t loved this Ramen chop yet but I’m already missing the ramen with kakout Ramen they actually
Add burnt black garlic oil into the ramen as well which really enhances the flavor what they’ve taken away from the creamy Ross they’ve enhanced it more with the burnt black garlic oil honestly I highly recommend you if you haven’t tried it yet so we both ordered the
Hut signature Ramen T Eerie Ramen that’s what Steve ordered my one is the ramen the key difference basically half the size of the H Erie Ramen I suppose we could have tried with the raw egg yolk because originally it comes with the raw egg y but we opted for hard
Boiled eggs and stuff but it was still enjoyable the GES here are highly recommended as well it’s so small the skin is quite light but then it’s so flavorable I highly recommend this Place last St kago Shima kagos Shima Ramen comes with extra depth because pork bones are used together with chicken bones veggies kelp and other ingredients to make a mixed soup resulting in a lighter and less greasy taste than other styles of cushi ramen the noodles are often medium thick
Pickles are also usually served alongside Ramen in kagoshima tontoro ramen specializes in homemade pork Toro chashu their chashu apparently melts in your mouth their broth is made of pork chicken and Bonito Tonto literally refers to the cut of pork behind the head and in between the shoulders which
Is very Exquisite sorry for rushing through this part of the review by the way I left my camera in Ibuki which is 1 and 1/2 hours away from kagoshima damn it it was pretty interesting because I thought the kago Shima sty Ramen is more on the lighter side but apparently this
Shop specializes in what they call the pork Toro which is sort of around the neck or head part of the pork which is apparently very precious very rare So in our ramen there’s good chunk of fat as well as meat I would say the ratio of
Fat and meat is pretty much 50/50 I really like their Ramen as well as quite thin but with lots of chew so pretty elante I love it I love chewy stuff so the highlights would most definitely be the Speedy Service as well as the quality food as well it was pretty cool
Had to take off our shoes and sat on the tartle me and all that kind of stuff so very interesting experience on the count of three me and Steve will yell out our favorite city of ramen 1 two three kumot all right interesting interesting look it’s not like I didn’t like the
Fuka ramen I quite like the fact that they added black garlic oil to complement the less greasy broth I like stuff with lots of depth of taste instead of just a lot of one thing in a way the fruit qua one is like Ultra creamy but my personal favorite is most
Definitely the black garlic oil in kakout in kumoto really really love the GES as well that moment the G juice squirted out of the GES and then I almost attacked Steve with the hot sauce you may hate my answer but I actually think ichun is pretty damn good as well
I was trying to find the local ramen shops to go against ichiran because it is so popular I thought surely the local small smaller businesses would taste better than ichon but ichun Ramen does manage to uphold its standed it has its own little Vibe as well you would see
Plenty of ichan ramen videos with people having their own little table and having the sights enclosed at the front there’s this little small window where the waiter or waitress actually push out a tray of ramen no human interaction at all I think ichan and both the local
Ramen restaurants they are both good so this is my conclusion now you know where to come for ramen when you’re in Japan next check out my 9-day road trip in kuu for some travel inspos if you haven’t already
