Motsumiso tonkotsu ramen: 12 / 20

I had been a couple of time already to this ramen shop, close to Handai Toyonaka campus, which serves a no-thrill, ultra-classical Hakata ramen. I wanted to try it a last time, this time with a little twist, so I ordered the ramen with motsumiso (offal miso).


Broth: A very classical Hakata broth, which totally changes when eaten with the motsumiso. It then becomes more salty and… different. Not better, just different, and in a kind of not-so-interesting-though-reasonably-pleasant way.

Noodles: Barikata, as I ordered them.

Meat: A few thin slices of uninteresting chashu, as it is unfortunately much too often the case with Hakata ramen. The offal in the motsumiso does not taste like motsu and is not especially interesting either.

Toppings: Lots of negi, no menma (as usual in Hakata ramen).

Nothing bad here, but also nothing very exciting. The motsumiso brings a kind of original twist, but it is not enough to make the ramen especially recommendable. I would rather advise to order the basic, classical tonkotsu bowl - it's solid enough for some pleasant Hakata-feel.
