- [Ippudo Daimyo Main Store](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/ippudo-daimyo-main-store): Fukuoka, Restaurant. Step into ramen history at the original 1985 flagship where Ippudo founder Shigemi Kawahara revolutionized Hakata-style tonkotsu and launched a global empire. The intimate Daimyo location maintains the founder's exacting standards with its signature creamy pork bone broth simmered for 18 hours and thin, firm noodles prepared fresh daily. For the complete experience, try the Shiromaru Classic that started it all or the spicier Akamaru Modern that helped bring Japanese ramen to the world stage.
