🍜 A Bold Bowl of Ramen at Hakata Issou Gion — Just a Bit Too Salty for Me

We stopped by Hakata Issou Gion after a long day exploring Fukuoka, hoping for a comforting bowl of ramen to wind down the evening. The shop had that classic ramen joint feel—small, bustling, and full of locals, which was a good sign. We grabbed counter seats with a direct view of the kitchen, where the staff worked quickly but with care. I ordered their signature tonkotsu ramen, and the bowl came out piping hot and beautifully presented. The noodles had a nice firm bite, and the chashu was tender and flavorful. But I have to say, the broth was a bit too salty for my taste. It had a rich depth, as you’d expect from a good Hakata-style ramen, but I found myself needing water after just a few spoonfuls. That said, others at the counter seemed to be slurping it down happily, so it might just be a personal preference. The gyoza on the side were a nice touch—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and well-seasoned. Service was efficient and friendly, and the overall vibe was very local and authentic. If you’re a fan of bold, salty tonkotsu broth, Hakata Issou Gion might hit the spot. For me, it was a bit intense, but I still appreciated the atmosphere and the care that went into each bowl. #summervacay #hakataissou #fukuokaramen #tonkotsuramen #ramenstop #toosaltyforme #gioneats #fukuokafoodtrip #hiddenramenspot #ramenexperience #japanfoodie #kyushuramen #japan #japantrip #kyushu #kyushutrip
