When visiting Dazaifu in Fukuoka, apart from praying at Tenmangu Shrine, Ichiran's Pass Rate Ramen is a must-try. This branch is characterized by its pentagon design—not only are the ramen bowls pentagonal, but even the chairs, chopsticks, water cups, and plates follow the theme, symbolizing success and progress, making it perfect for students looking for a bit of good luck. Because of this, it is said that many Japanese parents bring their children here for a bowl as a ritual to pray for good exam results.

This time, I waited about an hour and ordered a basic ramen (¥980), white rice (¥250), and added green onions (¥130). After purchasing a ticket from the ordering machine, I filled out my flavor preference sheet. I selected the basic richness, light oil, normal garlic, lot of green onions, regular chashu, normal spiciness, and normal noodle hardness.

🍥 The broth is relatively light and refreshing; although it’s pork bone broth, it’s not heavy, which makes it quite enjoyable for me.
🍥 The noodles are thin and straight, with normal hardness being just right.
🍥 The chashu is tender, but the portion is small.
🍥 The added green onions are a good amount and pair well with the white rice to balance the richness.

Overall, the taste is not much different from regular Ichiran, but the store's atmosphere, design, and pentagon ritual feeling leave a strong impression. After finishing every drop, seeing the word "decided," I silently cheered for myself. I highly recommend this spot for students or friends who want to soak up the good vibes!
