Hakata Ramen ShinShin (Tenjin main shop)

博多らーめん ShinShin 天神本店

Needle-thin noodles in a gentle broth, Tenjin's go-to

Budget

~¥1,000 pp

Address

1F, 3-2-19 Tenjin, Chuo-ku (north end of Tenjin)

A Hakata ramen shop on a north Tenjin side street, the one locals take out-of-town friends to. The broth is light on pork funk, so people who find heavy tonkotsu too much usually love it. The noodles are needle-thin; order them 'kata' (firm) and they hold up to the last slurp. Thirty seats, so expect a line out front at dinner.
