大砲ラーメン 天神今泉店
When you come to Fukuoka, you must try the authentic tonkotsu ramen. Ichiran, which is super famous in Taiwan, comes from Fukuoka. We picked a cannon ramen that is also recommended by many people.
There seem to be 3 branches of Cannon Ramen in Fukuoka. The one we ate today is located near Tenjin Station. We arrived at 5:30 on Saturday evening and we can sit down directly without queuing.
To be honest, the smell when we walked in the door scared us a little. The smell of fat was so strong that we even felt a little smelly. But don’t be scared by what I said and miss this ramen. Let me start with the conclusion: I think it’s delicious, but because of the smell in the store It's too heavy, so I deducted one star and changed it to four stars.
This shop has two signature ramen. The first is the classic "ramen" that uses "recall soup" (note: the so-called "recall" means to add new soup and cook it repeatedly), and the second uses fried lard. Richer "traditional ramen" (dangan ramen)
When we ordered, we were confused by the smell in the store. We accidentally ordered two bowls of "traditional ramen", a medium bowl for ¥900 (it's a pity that we didn't taste the classic ramen...)
The soup didn't smell as heavy as the fat in the store. I was quite surprised when I took a sip of the soup. It was rich and delicious, but not so strong that it made people cloying. I ended up drinking almost the whole bowl; the fried soup in the soup Lard residue is actually delicious, but people who dare not eat it may be a little scared.
The noodle body is made of thin noodles, which fully absorbs the flavor of the soup. It is delicious. The pork barbecued pork is thinly sliced. There are 2 slices in total. It is also delicious, but the portion is quite small. It is gone in two bites.
Overall, Cannon Ramen is quite cheap and suits my taste. It is a ramen that I would like to eat again next time I come to Fukuoka. However, the strong smell in the store is really a bit daunting. It would be great if it can be taken away 😂
