			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hakata (an old merchants&#8217; town in Fukuoka prefecture) is a FOOD PARADICE, and is especially famous for&#8230; `Tonkotsu Ramen&#8217;, the noodle with pork bone soup ! </p>
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_10.jpg" title="ichiran 10"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_10.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 10" width="430" height="322" /></a><br />
Out of many many Ramen shop, ICHIRAN is very popurar, for its home made delicious taste, hospitality of staff, and the unique system to enjoy Ramen.</p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_01.jpg" title="ichiran 01"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_01.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 01" width="430" height="293" /></a><br />
This is ICHIRAN @ Canal City Hakata (B1F), which is the only place to offer lunch box type of Ramen.</p>
<hr />
<p>Ramen shops used to be men&#8217;s space, &#8217;cause they&#8217;re usually very small, not clean. Actually, women haven&#8217;t been welcome. </p>
<p>But ICHIRAN certainly changed that, by offering seperate devided table, and also, by handing out the order sheet, so that customers have no need to announce what they&#8217;re going to eat aloud. (which really make us shy sometimes, especially when a woman wants to have another cup of ramen ! ). </p>
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_09.jpg" title="ichiran 09"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_09.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 09" width="430" height="346" /></a><br />
This is it. Now you are free from anybody&#8217;s eyesight, and can enjoy Ramen !</p>
<hr />
<p>ICHIRAN is friendly not only to shy Japanese women, but to international visitors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_02.jpg" title="ichiran 02"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_02.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 02" width="430" height="329" /></a><br />
See? There&#8217;re English, Korean, and Chinese version of order sheets.</p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_03.jpg" title="ichiran 03"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_03.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 03" width="430" height="304" /></a><br />
This is the vendering machine, for you to order Ramen and any topping, to make your Ramen unique.</p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_04.jpg" title="ichiran 04"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_04.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 04" width="430" height="237" /></a></p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_06.jpg" title="ichiran 06"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_06.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 06" width="430" height="210" /></a></p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_08.jpg" title="ichiran 08"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_08.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 08" width="430" height="223" /></a></p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=hakata&amp;pp_image=ichiran_07.jpg" title="ichiran 07"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/ichiran_07.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="ichiran 07" width="364" height="430" /></a><br />
This tells you vacant sheets. `空&#8217; means empty.</p>
<p>There&#8217;re several ICHIRAN Ramen Shops in Fukuoka, so when you visit Fukuoka, why not trying ICHIRAN Ramen?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>`Japan has four seasons&#8217; is a very common plain sentence when people introduce Japan, which should also be explained as, Japan has four seasons to enjoy different seasonal food!</p>
<p>Not only beer and <a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/2007/08/09/cool-yourself-with-shochu-shochu-distilled-spirit-boom-of-kagoshima/"><em>shochu-on-the-rock</em></a>, cool noodle is the main summer food for lots of Japanese people, or even Messiah for those suffering from the crazy heat wave.</p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=ramen&amp;pp_image=reimen_01.jpg" title="reimen 01"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/reimen_01.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="reimen 01" width="430" height="303" /></a></p>
<p>This is Korean style, and is called <em>reimen</em>, meaning cool noodle usually topped with egg, roast pork, bean sprouts, tomato, and cucumber. The soup taste sour (of vinegar) and sweet. </p>
<hr />
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=ramen&amp;pp_image=somen_01.jpg" title="somen 01"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/somen_01.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="somen 01" width="430" height="311" /></a></p>
<p>This is <em>somen</em>, vermicelli noodle made of kneaded wheat flour, stretched into thin strips using vegetable oil. Price is usually around 1,000 yen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I ask people what they like to eat in Hakata (Fukuoka), most of them say <em>Tonkotsu Ramen</em>(noodle with pork bone soup), especially of Ichiran, which is the most popular <em>Tonkotsu Ramen</em> restaurant).</p>

<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=fukuoka&amp;pp_image=menchanko_01.jpg" title="menchanko 01"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/menchanko_01.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="menchanko 01" width="418" height="285" /></a></p>
<p>So, this is it!<br />
Can you believe this is only 567 yen?<br />
(Hakata food is delicious and reasonable!)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=fukuoka&amp;pp_image=menchanko_02.jpg" title="menchanko 02"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/menchanko_02.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="menchanko 02" width="418" height="302" /></a></p>
<p>The name of the restaurant is, `<strong><em>Men Chanko Tei</em></strong>&#8216;.<br />
(<em>Tei</em> means resutaurant or house).</p>

<p>This red seasonal is called <strong><em>Yuzu Gosho</em> </strong>(Citrus Pepper).</p>
<p><em>Yuzu Gosho</em> is usually green, but this is the original, homemade prpoducts of <em>Men Chanko Tei</em>.<br />
It&#8217;s a combination of Yuzu (Japanese citrus) of Oita, red pepper of Kumamoto, and salt of Okinawa, and wonderfully bring out the flavor of the <em>Men Chanko</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.japan-hopper.com/?pp_album=main&amp;pp_cat=fukuoka&amp;pp_image=pudding_menchanko.jpg" title="pudding menchanko"><img src="http://www.japan-hopper.com/wp-content/photos/pudding_menchanko.jpg" class="pp_image" alt="pudding menchanko" width="417" height="274" /></a></p>
<p><em>Akai Purin</em> (red pudding) is another speciality of <em>Men Chanko Tei</em>, for using a high quality egg and for its smooth texture.</p>
