🍜 The only one in Japan! A must-have pentagon-shaped bowl to celebrate "passing" exams! No waiting in line for souvenirs, take it all home!
When you arrive in Dazaifu, Fukuoka, you'll immediately see the prominent Ichiran Ramen and the crowd waiting in line. Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine is famous for praying for academic success, and the surrounding shops have launched various "passing" related lucky items.
The Japanese pronunciation of "pentagon" is similar to "passing," so Ichiran here cleverly uses this pun to create a pentagon-shaped bowl and chopsticks! When you order the "Passing Ramen" (980), they will say "You passed!" when the noodles are served! 😂
As for the flavor, it is of course as consistently delicious as the regular Ichiran ramen. I usually order spice level 2, which is roughly mild spicy in Taiwan, making it less greasy and making me want to finish it to see the words at the bottom of the bowl! 😂
In addition to the bowl's shape, there are actually many auspicious meanings in the restaurant, the explanations are shown in the photos!
