Family is the same no matter where you go. Even in Japan they always makes sure I eat well. And then some. Being somewhat of a foodie, I have no complaints.When Japanese hear the word Fukuoka or Kyushu the first thing that comes to their mind is Ramen. As a fan of things eaten from bowls, this already a step in the right direction.
At Danbo Ramen in Fukuoka they serve ramen Kyushu style. This means a pork-bone broth and noodles that are thinner than average. With 6 slices of pork, a half-boiled egg, and onions I was in heaven. The chili-paste on the pork also adds a little welcome heat. Unlike most ramen this did not land in my stomach like an anvil, but still left me feeling satisfied.
No ramen is complete without a side of Gyoza to go with it. Rather than six larger dumplings Danbo gives you eight bite size ones that just slide right on down.
A meal like this is one that is truly satisfying and stays with you for hours. If I’m ever in the area I would not hesitate to go again. Until then, I’ve photos of a meal that once was.
