One of our favorite tonkotsu ramen shops opened up in Akihabara!
There are a variety of great ramen shops and flavors here in Japan.
But man oh man...
💞DO WE LOVE TONKOTSU RAMEN!!!💞
When people think about going to go get tonkotsu ramen,
normally they think of Ippudo and Ichiran.
Which are great places!!
We love eating there too,

This was our first time going to the Hakata Furyu restaurant in Akihabara
and we were surprised at the difference how everything was set up.
For example!
A touchscreen ordering machine that has images for each menu item
and is available in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

Once you go inside choose what you want here!
It'll spit out your ticket(s) for you to hand to the restaurant staff.
Next, they will ask you how you would like your noodles cooked.
There's a variation of 4 preparation types:

We love getting the harder (kata), less cooked noodles.
When we asked the store clerks which they most recommended,
they said either the very hard (barikata) or hard (kata) noodles were best
because it gives the ramen a nice balance and texture.

And that's really all there is to ordering!
Simple, right?!

At each table and counter seat are special and authentic
Kyushu condiments that you can add to your ramen.

| Red pickled ginger, Wagiri togarashi (Japanese dried red chili pepper) |
 |
| You can see benishoga in dishes like yakisoba, gyudon, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and oyakodon. |
The most popular are the benishoga, a red pickled ginger that is pickled using red plum vinegar,
and this mixture on the right.
and this mixture on the right.
The ramen is super delicious on its own,
but the fact that all these condiments are free is something pretty rare in Japan.
It is also a fun way to keep the rave for their ramen fresh.

Similar to the regular tonkotsu ramen but the garlic oil adds a little extra punch
giving the ramen a new and unique flavor.

❸
Spicy Miso Chashu Ramen
(辛味噌チャーシューラーメン)
880yen
For those that are more in a "miso ramen" mood,
the karamiso (spicy miso) ramen is the way to go.
There is so much flavor inside a single bowl,
it's unlike any other bowl or miso ramen we've had thus far.
Some miso ramen can leave you with a really oily feeling
but for some reason, the spicy miso ramen here doesn't do that.

you're of course more than welcome to have the same,
but it's also fun to switch it up and play around!
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR BROTH!!!
If you drink too much from your first batch
then there won't be enough for the new noodles to soak in.

To also change things up for your refill,
Hakata Furyu a special seasoning called kaeshi (カエシ).
It's a blend of ginger and sesame with some other ingrediants,
and when you add some to your broth it changes the taste a little bit.
Some of us thought it added a slight soy sauce taste,
but it's hard to say.
If you try it out let us know what you think it tastes like!
