Best ramen in Fukuoka

This is where tonkotsu was invented, and Fukuoka's ramen is thinner-noodled, faster and more intense than the tonkotsu exported to the rest of the world. The original shops around Hakata station and Nagahama fish market are open past midnight, kaedama (a second serving of noodles) costs ¥100, and the Nakasu yatai serve bowls at riverside stalls. Tabelog's Fukuoka ramen ranking is the single most useful list in the city.
