Wallet-Friendly Ramen That Doesn’t Skimp on Flavor

#favouriteitinerary We love how Takagi Ramen brings affordable and authentic Hakata-style ramen to the heartlands, making it easy for anyone to enjoy a comforting bowl without breaking the bank. Their ramen starts from just $6.90, and they even offer a free first noodle refill (kaedama), which is perfect for those of us with bigger appetites. The tonkotsu broth, simmered for over 12 hours, is rich and flavorful, paired with tender chashu pork for a satisfying meal. One of the standout dishes is their Chilli Crab Ramen, which takes a local twist on Japanese ramen by adding a whole deep-fried soft-shell crab and a bold, spicy chilli crab sauce. It’s a must-try for anyone who loves a bit of fusion in their food. Beyond ramen, they also serve donburi, gyoza, and takoyaki, keeping things interesting for those days when we feel like switching it up. What really makes Takagi Ramen special is how accessible it is. With multiple outlets across the island, including heartland areas, we don’t have to travel far for a good bowl of ramen. Some locations are even open 24 hours, making it an easy go-to spot for late-night cravings. It’s the kind of place that feels like a reliable choice whenever we want something warm, hearty, and budget-friendly.
