Maruko Ramen Center — Restaurant in Kiyama

This ramen restaurant has been popular among the locals. Conveniently situated near a major road, it has become a favored destination for truck drivers as well, as evident from the multitude of parked trucks in its spacious lot.

Our visit took place around 1:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon, leading us to encounter a relatively long queue. Fortunately, the turnover of customers was swift, resulting in a wait of approximately 10 minutes. Upon entering, we purchased tickets from a vending machine. The interior of the restaurant reminded me of a local food court.

The menu boasts a traditional Hakata ramen, showcasing a luscious pork broth soup, delicate extra-thin noodles (a defining characteristic of Hakata ramen), scallions, bamboo shoots, and succulent Chashu slices. The broth tends to lean towards a slightly heavier flavor profile, which didn't align with my personal preferences. Furthermore, the generous portion of noodles, albeit a bit overcooked, proved to be so substantial that I couldn't manage to finish them all. In addition to this, I felt that the Chashu could benefit from some refinement and improvement.

On the other hand, to complement the ramen experience, their Gyoza is a solid choice. These delectable dumplings boast a crispy exterior, while the juicy filling inside adds a good touch...

This tonkotsu ramen is the legendary Soul Food for local people. Thick broth and rich pork flavor, more so than Hakata ramen, and the noodle not so thin as Hakata style. Optional toppings include raw egg, Nori seaweed, kikurage, etc. Located on Kyushu's major transportation route connecting big cities, it's a popular oasis for trailer drives for many decades. They also sell souvenir...

前回は麺が多分間違って、 バリやわくらいで来てたから、 その影響だったのかな？

豚骨をボイラーで、 短時間に一気に炊き上げたスープは、 臭みなく、しかし旨味抜群。
