Mukashi ramen
The story behind the bowl
Born in nearby Kurume, Taiho carries the older tonkotsu tradition associated with continuously refreshed broth and toasted pork-fat crumbs. Its Fukuoka presence offers a useful contrast with leaner Hakata ramen.
Before you go: Choose Mukashi ramen for the historical style and expect a rounder, richer soup than standard Nagahama bowls.
