Why we say this
Marutai has sold stick ramen (dried noodles in straight bundles) in Fukuoka since 1959, and this Hakata packet is reviewed far beyond its home city: buyers from 2017 to 2026 write in from Saga, Tokyo, Chiba, Osaka, Okayama and Hiroshima.
Product information
About
Fukuoka's own Hakata-style ramen in a packet for the saucepan: thin, straight noodles served in a pork-bone (tonkotsu) soup. There is no garlic oil, and some find the pork-bone smell strong. Buy it if you like your noodles thin with a firm bite; if you want garlic in the bowl, the Marutai Kumamoto packet is the one for you.
On the pack: 長浜 博多 とんこつラーメン. Nagahama (長浜) is the fish-market district of Fukuoka city, where ramen stalls served market workers a very thin noodle that cooks fast and stays firm; the name points to that style. Marutai's 元祖長浜屋 (Ganso Nagahama-ya) pack is a different product.
What you're getting
- No garlic and no chilli go into it. The separate oil sachet is a pork-broth seasoning oil that makes the soup fuller.
- People disagree on the soup: to some it is rich, to others light.
- The noodles are thin, straight and dried rather than fried, and boil in two minutes; Marutai's garlic-oil Kumamoto and spring-onion Kagoshima packets take three.
- Non-fried describes the noodles only: the soup carries pork oil, and the oil sachet adds more.
- Nothing comes on top. The pork, red pickled ginger and spring onion in the picture are a serving idea; spring onion is in any supermarket, and beni shoga (red pickled ginger) is at Asian grocers.
- Allergens: contains wheat, milk, sesame, soy and mollusc (scallop). Japan's chart has no category for mollusc, so the scallop sits in the pack's ingredient list rather than its allergen box: check the ingredients, not the chart; ours is the fuller list.
- Also on the label: the soup is made with pork extract and pork oil; milk, chicken and gelatine are declared, but no ingredient is named for them. Anyone who avoids pork or meat should skip it.
Each packet holds two servings as two separate bundles, and the bundle you don't cook keeps for another day. The salt sits mostly in the soup, far less in the noodles.

Our guide
How to eat it
- For each serving, bring water to the boil in a small saucepan, enough to cover the bundle well.
- Drop in one bundle and boil it for two minutes, no longer.
- Stir in that serving's soup powder and seasoning oil.
- Taste it: if it is too salty, add hot water a splash at a time.
Good to know
- Two minutes gives a softer noodle; for the firm bite Hakata ramen shops serve, start tasting a strand at one minute and add the soup once the centre still has some bite.

- What they grumble about
Boiled for the full two minutes they're a little soft by the time I eat, so I boil them a bit less.
表示通りに２分茹でると食べる時には少し柔めに思うので、茹で時間は少し短めにしていむす。

I bought it because the noodles are non-fried, so the oil floating on the soup afterwards surprised me.

I like the short boil, and adding the soup straight to the pan saves work too.

The maker
Where it comes from
- Marutai
- Fukuoka
Marutai began selling stick ramen in 1959, in Fukuoka, home of Hakata ramen. Its noodles are dried straight and packed in bundles, one bundle a serving.
In a 2026 Japanese magazine taste test of twelve Marutai stick ramens, this Hakata pack was the only one made with a slightly thinner noodle than the rest.
