Hello, this is Noguchi Takeshi from Noguchi Tube  (X account @ta0416 )!

A major shock to Fukuoka's ramen scene! Yamaoka-ya has finally arrived in Hakata Ward!

In conclusion, "Until now, I had to go all the way to the Fukuoka Matsushima store (Higashi Ward) to eat it, but now that they've opened a store in Tsukikuma along Route 3 in Hakata Ward, it's become much easier to visit Ramen Yamaokaya!"

The long-awaited "Yamaoka-ya Tsukikuma Store" has finally opened!

On April 22, 2026, the long-awaited Yamaoka-ya Fukuoka Tsukikuma store had its grand opening!

For fans of Yamaoka-ya ramen in the southern area of ​​Fukuoka City, this is truly a historic event, isn't it? (lol)

Until now, I'd had to travel all the way to the "Fukuoka Matsushima store" in Higashi Ward, but finally, Yamaoka-ya has come all the way to Hakata Ward!

Ramen Yamaoka-ya has finally opened its Tsukikuma store in Fukuoka!

This location is actually the closest store to me, and it's in a really great location.

Nagasaki City (current residence): Approximately 145km
・Tosu City (family home) Approximately 25km
• Chikushino City (wife's family home) Approximately 10 km

It's now only about 10km from my wife's family home in Chikushino, making it much easier to access and significantly improving its accessibility!

Thank you so much, Yamaoka-ya!

I'm truly grateful for your expansion into southern Fukuoka, and I look forward to your further southward expansion into Kyushu! 😆

▼Now, let me introduce them!

Ramen Yamaoka-ya has finally opened its Tsukikuma store in Fukuoka!
Located along National Route 3, a major highway in Kyushu, it's close to the airport and near an intersection, making U-turns easy and allowing for a smooth visit by car!

As expected of a roadside store!

▼Avoid the crowds and visit at 7 AM – a time for serious fans!
Ramen Yamaoka-ya has finally opened its Tsukikuma store in Fukuoka!

The last time I walked through this red curtain was in November 2024 when I went to Kitakyushu for a live performance by "Yuri" and had lunch at "Ramen Yamaoka-ya Kokura Nishiko branch" (lol).

As of November 2024, here is the menu and prices for Ramen Yamaokaya!

▼Ramen Yamaoka-ya Fukuoka Tsukikuma Store: Open 24 hours
Ramen Yamaoka-ya Fukuoka Tsukikuma branch is open 24 hours.

Since it only opened on April 22nd, long lines are inevitable during the day. Therefore, I visited around 7:00 AM!

Of course, there's no line. *This is my favorite time (lol)

Yamaoka-ya is known for its 24-hour operation, which is so good it can even silence crying babies!

Don't think, "Ramen for breakfast?!"

Ramen Yamaokaya's menu

This is the menu for Yamaoka Ramen!

I always order the "salt ramen"! They have soy sauce, miso, spicy miso, and more, but I always end up going back to the salt ramen after trying them all.

For some reason, when it comes to ramen, I prefer it when the soup and noodles are the main stars (lol).

Now, let's buy a meal ticket and go inside!

It was 7 PM, and while the counter seats weren't full, there were a fair number of customers at the tables!

The distinctive aroma of pork bone broth wafting through the morning air gives you that feeling of "Ah, I've really come to Yamaoka-ya."

We have garlic, chili bean paste, and many other things!

I was really tempted to add a ton of garlic, but... I'll hold back a bit this time because I have work to do.

I'll add plenty of chili bean paste to compensate!

And then the ramen arrived!

▼This order: Salt ramen 690 yen
Yamaoka-ya Ramen Salt Ramen 690 yen

My absolute favorite is the "Salt Ramen." You can really savor the rich tonkotsu (pork bone) broth!

And 690 yen is a real bargain!

I love Yamaoka-ya's salt-based ramen because the rich flavor of the pork bone broth comes through so directly (lol).

As usual, I ordered it today with my preferred, ultimate settings!

Noodle firmness: firm Amount of oil: generous Flavor intensity: strong

Noodle firmness: firm
Amount of oil: generous
Flavor intensity: Strong

This is a truly impactful combination that embodies the spirit of "devouring Yamaoka-ya"!

▼ Now, let's eat!

The bowl that was brought to me had a stunning visual appeal, with the lard covering the surface glistening.

Taking a sip of the soup, I was greeted with the same sharp, flavorful tonkotsu broth as always!

The sweetness of the extra oil and the strong saltiness hit your brain with a powerful jolt. This is it, this addictive quality is irresistible.

Then, add a generous amount of chili bean paste!

Add a generous amount of chili bean paste!

I really want to add a ton of garlic!!

However, I used less garlic because I didn't want to be told I smelled of garlic.

To compensate, add a generous amount of chili bean paste! The rich flavor of the salty pork bone broth combined with the spiciness and saltiness of the chili bean paste makes it impossible to stop eating.

The seaweed here is truly excellent!

The nori (seaweed) at Ramen Yamaokaya is excellent.

The firm, chewy noodles are wrapped in nori seaweed that has soaked up plenty of soup.

This is, to put it mildly, amazing!

The aroma of seaweed and the punchy flavor of the soup explode in your mouth.

▼My wife and children were very happy!
This time, I visited with my family, so my wife and children thoroughly enjoyed it.

▼Wife: Ramen for breakfast

My wife decided to try ramen for breakfast!

This is another dish with a delicious pork bone broth!

Unlike thick noodles, you can enjoy it with thin noodles!

Clearly, the large portion comes in a bigger bowl (lol).

▼Second son: Spicy miso dipping noodles (large portion)

My second son ordered the spicy miso dipping noodles (large size)!

The spicy miso dipping noodles that I got to try a little bit of were absolutely delicious!

The thick noodles are perfectly coated in the rich, flavorful broth.

Rich, robust, and incredibly satisfying!

My eldest daughter ordered the kids' ramen, and it was an incredible bargain at 490 yen, including a mini ramen, rice, juice, seaweed, ice cream, and even a gacha-gacha coin!

This is a highly recommended item!
