Went to "Hakataya Ramen" in Hakata yesterday. Apparently the owners refuse to raise the price despite cost of ingredients and labor rising out of respect for loyal customers. When it tastes this good, it's easy to be loyal, no matter the price.

As of right now (July 21,2025), 290 yen is $1.95. You couldn’t beat that price with a stick.
Geeeeeeezzz honest to god if I had ramen that price near me i dont think i would ever eat anything else.
I feel this. So many 1000+ yen bowls in Tokyo feel overly fancy but lack soul. This kind of shop is the real MVP.
Oh I know that place. Friend of mine brought me there many years ago. Good stuff.
