Features and Specialities
- While Fukuoka is world-famous for its cloudy pork bone broth, ‘Hitonkotsu Naoto’ in Sumiyoshi, Hakata-ku, offers a refreshing and bold departure from that tradition. This isn’t just a place for ‘lighter’ soup—it’s a sanctuary for shoyu (soy sauce) ramen that extracts every possible molecule of umami from high-end ingredients, offering a flavor that can only be described as sensual.
