🍜 Ramen Misoya – Smoky, Soulful Ramen That’s Worth the Wait

We had dinner at Ramen Misoya, and it turned out to be one of the best ramen experiences I’ve had outside of Hakata. Everything about it—from the setup to the flavors—hit all the right notes. What makes their ramen stand out is the extra step they take in preparation. The bean sprouts and char siew are stir-fried in traditional woks, giving off that delicious smoky aroma that you can already smell before your bowl arrives. That wok-char adds a whole new layer of depth to the dish. The broth was rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, and the char on the chashu brought a perfect caramelized edge that melted in your mouth. The shop itself is a classic ramen setup—a counter surrounding an open kitchen, so you can watch the action as your food is being prepared. It’s like a live cooking show, and the energy in the place adds to the experience. We went in the late evening and there was still a queue, which says a lot. Be prepared to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it. #summervacay #ramenmisoya #wokfriedgoodness #charsiewperfection #bestramenoutsidehakata #ramenloversparadise #foodiefind #openkitchendrama #worththequeue #latenightramenfix #ramenexperiencejapan #japan #japantrip
