| Ikkousha's authentic Hakata ramen |
Everyone can expect an authentic Hakata ramen which is a Tonkotsu broth that are always prepared meticulously out of pork bones and cartilage which have been simmered for hours. The long simmering hours gives Hakata ramen its unique, identifiable flavor which has a creamy and rich consistency. The noodles are not just your ordinary noodles because it is made and produced in their own factory which brings flavor from the broth each time you bite. Each bowl of ramen is topped with carefully seasoned and tender slices of cha-shu (braised pork).

| On the side, you can also order Gyoza and Karage. |
The ramen comes in several varieties:
Classic tonkotsu
Tonkotsu black ~which has mayu (black garlic oil) for a more intense flavor
God Fire~ the spicy variant that comes in four spice levels
Shio tonkotsu ~ combination of tonkotsu and shio (salt) broth for a lighter-bodied soup base
Me and my friend Dhess who blogs at thekitchenmombydhess.com tried the Special Shio Tonkotsu (Php450.00) + Gyoza and Karage.
I swear — my ramen cravings got satisfied! It's a must try.
