A brief story of House of “Hakata”

Back in 2003, chef Tang-Qun tasted authentic Hakata-Tonkotsu Ramen for the first time in Fukuoka. He immediately fell in love in the rich but complicated flavour of Tonkotsu soup which he has never tasted before. He coudnt’t forget about the tasted for years...

After leaving a head chef position at London’s leading Sushi restaurant, he went back to Fukuoka and Yokohama to be trained to prepare authentic Ramen with his Japanese wife is from Fukuoka.

We are in Scotland, papering Ramen with care and love everyday, just like our Japanese Ramen masters.
