Savor Fukuoka's culinary essence, indulging in Tonkotsu ramen and endless noodles, while discovering the heartwarming flavors of the city.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
You’ll dive (chopsticks, fork, spoon, whatever you want first) into the world of Tonkotsu ramen - a silky, rich, pork-bone broth with thin noodles - in Fukuoka, the city where this ramen style was born.
You’ll slurp your way around a few Hakata ramen shops (slurping is considered good manners, we promise) with one of our local Fukuoka hosts, discovering its quirks, history, and most importantly, sampling it.
You could try what’s endearingly referred to as “pig bone cappuccino” - although if broth simmered for 18 hours sounds a little too heavy for you, head to Ganso Nagahamaya, which is fondly referred to by locals as Gan-naga or Ganso, is known for its simple menu and quick service.
Here you could feast upon a simple dish of ramen while experiencing the restaurant's top-up noodle system. Bottomless noodles? Sign us up.
A perfect way to end off your ramen tasting experience is with a stop at Shin-Shin, which offers a less oily and heavy version of Tonkotsu ramen. By the end of the day we hope your belly will be extremely full, but your heart even fuller.

We made a last-minute request for a food tour in Fukuoka in the evening and it was our good fortune that Bruce was available to take us for a tour the next afternoon. The tour was a great introduction to the food culture of the city. While the yatai tour is an evening experience, he was able to send us to one of his favourite yatai stalls where Mariko-san took care of us, introducing us to local seafood tempura.

Show moreLuis was an excellent guide and took us to some special spots in Fukuoka. Really appreciated his personal recommendations to help us plan the rest of our stay.
Show moreGreat, I really enjoyed the tour. We saw many sights and Mike was incredibly knowledgeable on the historical, cultural, culinary, and architectural aspects of Fukuoka. The tour was organic and catered to my desires of tasting local Fukuoka savory foods as well as sweets/confectionary to satisfy my sweet tooth. The food and sweets were all delicious, by the way. We covered a lot of ground on foot and I left with a great sense of having seen a fair amount of the city as well as getting an in-depth understanding of the city’s history and culture, etc. Had a blast and look forward to visiting Fukuoka again in the future.
