The Rich and Savory Experience

This is not just a meal; it’s a journey through the essence of Hakata cuisine, and it delivers a rich tonkotsu flavor that will surely captivate both ramen enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

A Contest of Flavor

The inspiration behind this remarkable dish comes from the creative mind of Manager Yoshioka at the Hakata Daruma JAPAN Ion Lake Town Kaze store in Saitama, who was announced the winner of a contest aimed at discovering new variations of mixed noodles. Ramen aficionados praised its unique style and irresistible flavor. Feedback like, “Like nothing I've ever tasted before!” and “Satisfying, with a mouthful that keeps you coming back for more!” played a key role in propelling Yoshioka’s creation to the national stage. Now, with a little polish, this rich tonkotsu mix noodle is ready to be rolled out at all Hakata Daruma locations across the country!
