Ichiran's version was the first ramen bowl that I've finished in 2019.
Japan 2019: Ichiran Tonkotsu Ramen, Fukuoka - Hakata Branch
I've read a lot of negative comments from people and they say that this isn't good or it's overhyped and overrated. Even recommending that tourists skip this and should visit other ramen shops especially since there are numerous ramen restaurants and yatai stalls in Hakata Area.
I like Ichiran though. There would be better ramens than this but the choices can get overwhelming. So, for the safest bet that is also consistently delicious, Ichiran is still worth a trip.

You'd pay your order through that machine, fall in line, you'll be given a checklist on how you want your ramen to be served.
Shouldn't be confusing even for first timers because there are translations available.
Once seated, you'll hand over the ticket and checklist so they can prepare your ramen.
I'd love to come back here if I find myself back in the area again. This brand, probably because it's the first ramen I had in Japan, is somehow a comfort food for me.
Probably about time for me to explore more ramen flavors though. As far as I can remember, I've only eaten tonkatsu based ramen in Japan. Miso, shoyu, and shiyo.
