    Kumamoto Pref. Kumamotoshinishiku Nihongi 2-1-23
    This ramen shop in Nishi Ward, Kumamoto City serves Kumamoto ramen made with garlic oil, noodles, and chashu pork they produce themselves. Their noodles are medium-thick and nicely textured. They go great with the shop's fragrant charred garlic oil which is slightly bitter and pork bone broth, which isn't too fatty and has a smooth aftertaste. Their carefully selected fresh eggs with beautiful yolks make the perfect addition.

    I was told the ramen in Kumamoto is known for their garlic tasting ramen.... that being said made me very leary as garlic doesnt agree with my tummy these days. When re received the bowl, the...

    Kumamoto Pref. Kumamotoshichuouku Kamitorichou 8-16
    Founded in 1954, this is a popular Kumamoto ramen shop located in the Kamitori arcade shopping area. Although pork bones are used as stock, the ramen is light and healthy with not so much fat content and mixes well with the thin noodles. The taste has been handed down from the first generation. The balance of fine bean sprouts, chashu (a thin roasted pork fillet), and charred garlic as soup toppings is exquisite. It is a seven-minute walk from the “Torichosuji” tram stop.

    We were recommended by a staff from Hotel Wing International to try Tonkatsu ramen in this shop. Overall ramen is nice except the soup was a too salty for me. The pork was nice, melting and tender...

    This ramen shop is located in Kita Ward, Kumamoto City. Their authentic Kumamoto ramen has won them lots of fans even beyond the prefecture. It features a super aromatic 100% pork bone stock perfectly paired with charred garlic. The deep flavors of half-cooked egg and sliced chashu pork go great with the broth. Their slowly simmered pork offal side dish is popular too.

    月曜日のランチタイムでしたが、駐車場にはすんなり入ることが出来ました。以外にあっさりとしていて、食べ易かったです。シンプルにラーメンと餃子をチョイス。リーズナブルだし、駐車場もあるので、オススメです。

    Located in Tamana City, this noodle shop's ramen has a delicate flavor; that's quite popular. Its features a thick and rich tonkotsu pork bone stock made with carefully selected water. Even so, it's light on the palate and just salty enough to bring out the savoriness. The noodles are made with local wheat and have a firm texture.

    天琴の評判の悪さや大輪ラーメンの獣臭いラーメンは、もはや玉名ラーメンを名乗る資格なし。千龍と桃園がやっと玉名ラーメンの面目を引き継いでいる。 寂しくなったと思っていたら、口コミで雲龍亭を知り食べに行った。店内は小綺麗。女性だけで運営されている。名店は重苦しい雰囲気の所が多いが、ここは明るい。駐車場も小道をはさんで拡張され、空きの有無を心配することはない。スープが若干塩辛いが、地産地消の小麦を使...

It features a pork bone broth with a layer of oil floating on it, topped with charred garlic. It's a hit with ramen fans in the battleground of Tamana ramen.

    去年は違うお店に行ったけれどテレビでラーメン通がこの店を紹介していたなと。店外に椅子を用意してあるのは人気店ってことだな。ドアに写真撮影の張り紙があるね。土曜日の正午だけど席は空いてた。メニューはラーメンとその大盛りだけ。しかし出てくるのが遅いな!テーブル席の先客もまだ待っているのね。 20分近く待ったね。皿にはスープがドロドロって感じで、これが人気の玉名ラーメン?麺は白くて細くてまるでそーめんで...

    Kumamoto Pref. Kumamotoshichuouku Honjou 5-10-48
    This ramen shop is located in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City. It's known for its light flavored pork bone stock. Their popular Roast Pork Ramen features thick chashu pork slices with a nice, fatty texture that have been slowly marinated in a sauce made with carefully selected seasonings. The rich soup coats the noodles nicely. This shop gets lots of repeat customers, even from other prefectures.

    熊本ラーメンなら大将軍一択。もう他に考える必要はない。 比較もいらない、説明もいらない。 店は狭いが回転は速い。 美味しいものを食べるとき、箸が進んであっという間に食事は終わるものだからだ。

    This ramen noodle shop is in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City. It's unusual for Kumamoto in that they serve Niboshi Chuka Soba, a noodle dish incorporating Aomori dried sardines. The mellow broth with its sardine accents goes great with the firm, wavy noodles. It's one of their hallmark items, along with their thick and rich Kumamoto tonkotsu pork bone ramen, Noko Shonin Ramen.

    ミシュランビブグルマンに選ばれた名店に初めて入りました。通常木曜日が定休日みたいですがブログで見たらGWの関係なのか開いていましたので行ってみました。案の定お昼時でしたがガラガラですんなり入れました。 背脂煮干しを注文しましたが5分もしないうちに出てきました。背脂入りでもあっさりと感じるもののしっかりした出汁スープに中太ストレート麺が合ってます。ブラックペッパーとか薬味がなかったので、あれば途中か...

    外観は、通りから少し奥ばっていて目立ちません。店内も狭く、テーブル2つと座敷2席です。食券機にて購入し、注文となります。私はアサリラーメンを注文。たしか、680円。クリーミーな豚骨スープに、あさりが入り、キャベツ、もやしと野菜のボリュームもあるラーメンでした。

    11時オープンということで、早めに行って待っていたら次々に人がやってきます。 お店の前にあるリストに名前を書いて、店の入り口にある券売機で事前にチケットを購入し待ちます。 リストにある順に名前を呼ばれ、注文内容をお店の人がチェックしていました。 人気店なので、回転をよくするための工夫だと思いました。 オープンして席に案内されるとまもなく、出来たてのラーメンが運ばれてきたのでうれしかったです...

Kumamoto Areas

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
