There we go! We got to Fukuoka!

Fukuoka Prefecture

Hakata Ramen 博多ラーメン

I believe that this is the most delicious ramen in Japan, and you will have to wait in queues of over an hour to get a bowl of one of the most famous ones. This is a kind of tonkotsu ramen, whereby pig bones are boiled for around 16 hours to make a creamy broth. It is then served with pork, eggs, etc.


Giblet Nabe もつ鍋

I know my translation doesn’t sound particularly appetising, but it is absolutely delicious. Various vegetables along with giblets are boiled in an earthenware pot with a soy sauce-based soup. If there is soup left over at the end, some places add rice to make a rich risotto, and even add cheese to taste!

Chimaki ちまき

This delicious snack consists of various food, such as shrimp, egg, chestnuts, mustard, as well as many other ingredients mixed together and wrapped in a leaf. It is particularly famous in the Hakata area of Fukuoka and can be eaten at many spots there.

Somehow, this does not really add up for me. I guess you forgot to update one of the digits.
