Fukuoka Prefecture (福岡県, Fukuoka-ken) is located on the island of Kyushu. The prefectural capital is Fukuoka City, Kyushu's largest city. One of Fukuoka's most famous tourist attractions is Dazaifu Tenmangu in Dazaifu. Two most famous types of ramen are ramen of Kyushu, prepared with a boiled pork bone broth called tonkotsu
Hakata ramen (博多ラーメン, Fukuoka ramen, Nagahama ramen, Kyushu ramen) Hailing from Fukuoka, hakata is one of the most famous ramen styles in Japan. The base of the ramen is tonkotsu, the creamy pork bone broth which gives the dish its incredibly rich and layered taste. It is often only seasoned with shio (salt), and occasionally with shoyu (soy sauce) and miso (fermented soybean) paste. Hakata ramen is typically served with ultra-thin, straight, and firm wheat noodles, though it’s possible to choose the firmness of the noodles according to individual preferences. Although thin slices of chashu pork and chopped green onions are the most common, other typical additions to the broth include spicy mustard greens, ramen eggs, wood ear mushrooms, beni shōga (pickled ginger root), garlic, bean sprouts, mayu, and crushed sesame seeds. This ramen style derives its name from the former port city and merchant quarter of Hakata, which, in 1889, was merged with the castle town of Fukuoka into one city that came to be known as Fukuoka city.
