Hakata tonkotsu ramen

Hakata tonkotsu ramen is a Fukuoka noodle soup characterized by thin noodles and a cloudy pork-bone broth. Shops vary the bones they use, the cooking time and the amount of fat, so the flavor differs between bowls. Common toppings include sliced pork, wood-ear mushrooms and green onions. Pickled ginger and takana greens can be added as condiments.[1]

Diners can often choose how firm the noodles should be. Many shops also offer kaedama, an additional portion of noodles placed in the broth left from the first serving. This replenishes the noodles rather than the soup. Hakata ramen is served in specialist restaurants and at Fukuoka's yatai street stalls, which are part of the city's dining culture.[1][2]
