Kyūshū Jangara is a chain ramen shop that boasts five franchises within Tokyo. Specialising in Hakata ramen, which has a rich, milky pork-bone tonkotsu broth. It is fused with a Tōkyō-style soy shōyu stock to form the signature dish, a new-style hybrid, called the Kyūshū Jangara.

The noodles are distinct – firm in texture and ultra thin, straight and white in appearance. The flagship dish is topped with a boiled egg (ajitama), seasoned cod roe (mentaiko), boiled and diced pork (chashu and buta kakuni) and spring onions (negi).
It is often confused that this style hails from the Hakata district of Kyūshū. It is fairer to say that Kyūshū Jangara is a ramen dish that evolved from this region.
The stores menu advertises that this dish is recommended by the Prime Minister of Japan.

We visited the Harajuku shop which is located less than one minute away from the JR Harajuku Station on Omotesandō. This shop is very tourist-friendly with a comprehensive multi-language menu and is well worth a visit if you are in this part of town.
