“Nagahama Ramen Tonpei,” with locations including its Moji Main Store and Kokura Higashi Inter branch, is a long-established ramen shop loved by locals for over 30 years.
The proud tonkotsu soup is made exclusively from pork heads, simmered slowly for about 14 hours to eliminate any strong odors, resulting in a rich yet wonderfully mellow and light flavor.
Great attention is paid to the noodles as well, using specially ordered ultra-thin straight noodles designed to pair perfectly with the soup, offering excellent aroma, texture, and soup adherence.
The shop also thoughtfully provides paper aprons and hair ties, making it a comfortable dining environment for everyone.
