As the calendar turns to early February, marking the onset of spring with ‘Risshun’ in the Japanese almanac, the landscape of Fukuoka begins to be adorned with the delicate hues of plum blossoms.

Along with “Sapporo Miso Ramen” and “Kitakata Ramen”, Japanese people loved this trio for a long time. Hakata Ramen is tonkotsu or pork bone ramen mainly offered in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
