[2025 Fukuoka Restaurant] Travel Guide for Ramen Kanetora (Updated Apr)

#JapanTravel I never thought I'd meet the best tsukemen in my life in Fukuoka..! I was so happy to think, "Ah.. I came to Japan to eat this!" when I dipped the thick and chewy noodles in the soup that was so rich that I couldn't help but think, "Menya Kanetora!" 🥹 It's no exaggeration to say that this was the most delicious tsukemen I've ever had in Tokyo, Osaka, and other places. If you feel it's salty while eating, you can always pour in the broth in front of you, but I really recommend putting in a little bit. I didn't know how to do it well and poured in all the broth at once when there were a lot of noodles left, so it tasted so bland that I couldn't hide my regret the whole time I was eating the remaining noodlesㅠㅠ If possible, I recommend not pouring in the broth and eating until the end! There's almost always a wait, so I recommend visiting on a weekday when it opens or at an odd time. 📍Location: Japan 〒810-0004 Fukuoka, Chuo Ward, Watanabedori, 4 Chome−9−18, Fukusyu Bldg, 1F 🕖 Opening hours: 10am - 10pm

If you love rich broth tsukemen or spicy ramen, Menya Kanetora (麺や兼虎) in Fukuoka Tenjin is a must-visit spot. This ramen specialty shop offers a Fukuoka-style take on the popular 'tsukemen' from all over Japan, providing a clean and sophisticated atmosphere to enjoy a hearty bowl. The signature dish is the rich fish and meat broth-based 'tsukemen'. The broth is incredibly thick and flavorful, making every bite of the dipped noodles a delight. The thick noodles have a great chew and pair perfectly with the broth. You can also choose a spicy tsukemen, which has quite a strong spiciness, highly recommended for those who love spicy food! Prices start around 1,000 yen for the basic tsukemen, and with special toppings or extra meat, it ranges from 1,200 to 1,500 yen. Portions are generous, ensuring even male customers can eat to their satisfaction. However, due to its popularity, expect to wait during meal times. The ordering system via vending machine makes it easy for even first-time visitors to navigate. If you're craving a rich and intense bowl of tsukemen in Fukuoka, Menya Kanetora will surely meet your expectations.

#newyearnewtrip I never knew I could enjoy a bowl of Tsukemen ramen so much when I was in Fukuoka. I mean it is just a bowl of dry ramen with a dipping sauce, what is there to expect? But I was so wrong, I was in tsukemen heaven when I tried their version of their famous noodles at Ramen Kenetora Restaurant. Expect a long queue outside Ramen Kentora restaurant because their tsukemen is simply the best! At 1700¥, you will get a huge bowl of their dipping sauce with meat inside, a huge bowl of dry thick ramen noodles with char siew slices and onsen egg. You can even choose the level of spiciness for your dipping broth and if you would like normal to large portion of the noodles. The dipping sauce is out of this world - it is savoury, sweet, full of flavours and umami. The noodles was chewy and had the right bite. Save some of their dipping sauce, pour some hot water inside and it becomes a soup. Trust me, this tsukemen is worth the wait and it's excellent!

Ramen Kanetora, a famous restaurant in Tenjin area, was found on Google Maps and was a must-try. This is a small restaurant that can accommodate about 15-20 people. This is a ramen that you can buy in cash at a vending machine. You can order whatever you want, and when it's your turn, a staff will come and ask you how much noodles you want, starting from 200 g. to 300 g. You can also choose the level of spiciness of the soup. This is a ramen with a unique taste, and it can perfectly combine flavors. That is, noodles that are not hot are dipped in hot and spicy soup that you can't stop eating. This is a ramen restaurant that I want everyone to try because it is very popular and there are always a lot of people queuing up. But believe me, it's worth the wait. #Ramen #Tenjin #Fukuoka #Ramen
