Ichiran's History and Secrets of Popularity

Ichiran Ramen is a nationwide ramen chain centered in Hakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and is one of Kyushu's representative pork bone ramen restaurants. Tonkotsu ramen is a common style of ramen in the Hakata area, characterized by a thick, cloudy soup made by simmering pork bones for a long time.

The first feature of the restaurant is its private room-style store design. Only counter seats are available to ensure privacy while dining. The design was adapted to the era of the coronavirus, which was never expected. In addition, orders are placed by filling out and submitting a special form, which allows you to specify in detail your favorite ingredients, soup thickness, noodle firmness, and so on. The style is interesting in that the waiter bows and delivers the order without showing his face.

The main feature of tonkotsu ramen is the pork bone broth made using a proprietary process. Ichiran adds Ichiran's secret seasoning "Ichiran-no-tare" to the pork bone broth, which is simmered for a long time to achieve a well-balanced flavor. Ichiran's unique thin noodles are also used, which are characterized by their crispy texture. Ingredients include chashu pork, nori (seaweed), green onion, and a half-boiled egg if desired. The "red secret sauce" originated at Ichiran. Ichiran is the originator of the red sauce that is often seen floating in the middle of bowls of ramen both in Japan and abroad.

Ichiran's unique style of restaurant design, its carefully selected pork bone broth, and the texture of its thin noodles have made it increasingly popular both in Japan and abroad, and it is one of the most representative styles of ramen in Japan's ramen culture. In its stores in Japan, there is a constant line of foreigners waiting in line.
