What to expect
Kumamoto City, located in central Kyushu, is a hidden gem in Japan’s rich ramen landscape. Known for its unique take on tonkotsu ramen, Kumamoto has developed a distinct style that balances the creamy richness of pork bone broth with a milder, more refined flavor. What truly sets it apart is the use of black garlic oil (ma-yu) and roasted garlic chips, which add depth and aroma without overpowering the dish. With its thicker noodles and comforting, approachable taste, Kumamoto ramen reflects the city’s warm, down-to-earth character and is a must-try for any ramen lover exploring Japan’s regional flavors.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
