There is a place called Minato which is located in Chuo-ku.

Minato means harbour and it is also the name of this area.

There are fishing boats here and some not fishing.

I walked around one day and went to have Tonkotsu Ramen which is very strong pork based ramen.

Tonkotsu Ramen(とんこつラーメン)

This is especially called “Nagahama Ramen” named after this area Nagahama.

You buy a ticket before entering the restaurant.

Barikata(ばりかた)

hen they only ask for the softness of the noodles(Ramen), I always request “BARIKATA” which means “Very hard”.

You should request “BARIKATA” when you are in Fukuoka.

元祖長浜屋（Ganso Nagahamaya）

I has asked more leek and they serve more leek for free lol

There are some toppings on the table, such as sesame and pickled ginger.

You can order “Kaedama”(top up noodle) for 150JPY.

For me 1 bowl was enough this time.

This area there are many Tonkotsu Ramen restaurant you may try. I also recommend hop the restaurants!hhh

Then after Ramen, I have stop by coffee shop.

Coffee Time

This place roast coffee too and very cozy tiny place.

I would love to read a book and chill another day.
