I travel the world Part 11: Fukuoka Shin-shin Ramen vs. Daruma Ramen (The ultimate Ramen Battle)

in food •  9 years ago 

One of my favorite japanese dishes is Ramen, so i a presenting the ultimate Ramen Battle to you today. 

Having sampled over 350 Ramen Stores in the world, i would call myself a Ramen geek. 

When i ate Ramen in Fukuoka for the first time, i was speechless. It was so different from Ramen in Tokyo or the Tokai area. You have to know, that every Area in Japan has their own Ramen style.

Ramen is a japanese Noodle-soup, the noodles are made individually by each Ramen Restaurant. 

I sampled around 15 Ramen shops in Fukuoka, but my two favorites are shinshin and Daruma Ramen.

Soooooo lets get readyyyy to rummmble !!!


In the blue corner: 

shin-shin Tenjin Store

Address: 3 Chome-2-19 Tenjin, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture 810-0001, Japan

Phone: +81 92-732-4006


Review Shinshin:

shinshin Ramen offers a Chashu (Pork) Ramen with very thin noodles. the noodles are a bit al dente but very good. The soup is a bit oily, but not too much. The overall taste is very good i would rank this one 8.5/10 (Price ca. 9 USD)



In the red corner:

Hakata Dharma

Address: 1-8-25 Watanabedori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture 810-0004, Japan 

Phone:+81 92-761-1958


Review Daruma:

Daruma Ramen offers a Chashu (Pork) Ramen with thick noodles. the noodles are perfect. They are made everyday in the shop. The soup is very oily. The overall taste is very good i would rank this one 8.5/10 (Price ca. 9 USD)


So who will be the winner? Its a draw, isnt it? both have the same 8.5?

As with boxing, there can be only one Winner. Daruma has a signature dish, which you can see on this picture. It uses Pork belly instead of Chashu. And boy, for this one i would pay 50 $ if i could eat that once in a while without traveling to Fukuoka. That pork is like nothing you have eaten ever before, it just melts in your mouth like a great piece of toro tuna... 


So my Winner is DARUMA RAMEN !!!

i can now present it to an audience, and its great to get feedback ;)

first i thought all the geeks are not interested in great food, but after all everybody likes tasty food ;)

I have travelled a few places - 3x Thailand/4x Hong kong/China/Philippines/3x Germany/Holland/2 x Israel lived in Australia for 10 years and Was most of my life in New Zealand. The one thing I enjoy is food, and I have to make sure I do a lot of exercises to keep the weight down,lol. When I travel I always make it my mission to taste the local cuisine. I normally try to befriend a local and get the best inside information on the best places to eat. Food is a wonderful thing and tasting something for the first time can be a amazing experience.

agree! locals is the way to go ;)
