About this place
Will you pair your Nagahama ramen with half a portion of fried rice, or add gyoza too? At Nagahama Nanbawan Hakozaki-ten, side dishes make it easy to adjust the size of a meal centred on a bowl of ramen. One visitor liked the way firm-cooked thin noodles went with the creamy soup. Another found the straight, thin noodles a little powdery, which they felt gave the bowl a distinctly Nagahama character. They described the soup as light yet creamy, and the chashu as tender and rich in meaty flavour.
You can keep the ramen simple or choose toppings including seasoned egg, takana, spicy miso, chashu and wontons. Takana and spicy miso are also listed as additional toppings, so you can start with a bowl and add them later if you want to try a change in flavour. Extra noodles are available too, for when you have finished the first serving and would like a little more.
For a side, choose from half or full portions of fried rice and gyoza. One diner who ordered the half portion of fried rice enjoyed its moist texture and light, fluffy finish; it makes an easy pairing with ramen. Gyoza are available in a portion of 8, as well as a smaller half portion of 4, so you can choose whether to add just a little to your ramen or have more alongside fried rice or plain rice.
The Hakozaki restaurant in Fukuoka City’s Higashi Ward offers both dine-in and takeaway, and is described as suitable for solo dining.
