About Kumamoto Ramen (Thick noodles in a rich pork-bone broth)
Kumamoto ramen spread from Kurume City in Fukuoka Prefecture, considered the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen, through Tamana City in Kumamoto Prefecture, and on to Kumamoto City and the surrounding area. Compared with Tamana ramen and Hakata ramen (including Nagahama ramen), it uses thicker noodles and is notable for adding chicken bones to the broth. The result is a mellow pork-bone broth with added richness from the chicken bones, though some shops make their broth with pork bones alone. Each shop offers its own flavor.
