💡 Tips for Visitors

Most ramen shops in Fukuoka are cash-only, so bring yen. You can customize your ramen by requesting noodle firmness (katamen for firm, futsu for normal) and adding free extra noodles (kaedama) after finishing your first serving. Picture menus are typically available, and pointing is perfectly acceptable when ordering if you don't speak Japanese.
