Our experience was fantastic! Bruce and Tomoko were exceptional. This is a must do when in Fukuoka. We wanted to experience the Yatai stalls but felt a little intimidated doing them by ourselves so we booked the tour and we’re so glad we did! We highly recommend to book this to get the real local experience. We made two new friends who helped us enjoy delicious food and were delightful company! 10 out 10. It was an unforgettable evening and an extra-special birthday for my wife.

Bruce is the man! Me and my partner booked a food tour with Bruce not knowing what to expect, after a quick intro we walked while we talked, on our way to our first Yatai stop. It became apparent quick that Bruce really knows his stuff! He has been living in Japan for 40 odd years, can speak the language fluently and has developed relationships with the locals over that period, so it gives you that VIP feel while you’re on the tour with him. We would highly recommend going on tour with him if you’re in Fukuoka!

What Makes Fukuoka Ramen Special?

Fukuoka's claim to ramen fame lies in its unique take on this classic dish, prominently with its Hakata ramen style. The richness of the Hakata broth, known for its milky texture, is achieved through lengthy simmering of pork bones, resulting in a flavor that’s deep and hearty. Accompany this with thin, straight noodles cooked to perfection, and you have a culinary masterpiece that's both comforting and soul-satisfying.

Throughout a Fukuoka ramen food tour, you’ll explore this beloved dish from all angles. Experience how each shop adds its own twist, whether it’s through secret seasonings, unique broths, or special toppings like soft-boiled eggs, succulent slices of pork (chashu), or a sprinkle of black garlic oil for that extra punch. Each bowl tells a story and adds another layer to your understanding and appreciation of ramen.

Additionally, these tours often include stops at local markets or traditional eateries where you can sample other regional delicacies. From exploring food stalls brimming with fresh ingredients to enjoying a cup of matcha tea at a cozy café, there’s more than enough to whet your appetite. Engage with locals, learn the secret noodle-slurping techniques, or simply sit back and absorb the lively atmosphere that characterizes Fukuoka’s food culture.
