The Ramen Stadium is found on the 5th floor of the cinema building in Canal City. It consists of eight different restaurants offering a huge variety of ramen dishes. Most of the restaurants have machines outside where you purchase a ticket and some of these machines have English menus too. The ramen types are organized by the regions where they originated. Since I was in Hakata, I thought it would be apt for me to try ramen from this region. Hakata ramen is quite famous throughout Japan. I had Toyama black Hakata negi ramen; I think the recipe for the soup is from the Toyama region. It was so delicious.

Toyama black Hakata negi ramen. The name is a mouthful in itself. I was so taken by the smell I only remembered to take a picture a few mouthfuls in. (Photo: Michelle Madden)
The signs are in English and Japanese which is really helpful. (Photo: Michelle Madden)
It is a simple process. Once you decide what you want, use the machine next to the menu to purchase a ticket for your meal. (Photo: Michelle Madden)

The sign outside the restaurant I went to. They even have an American ramen dish which I thought was pretty interesting. (Photo: Michelle Madden)

I would love to visit here, being a ramen-fan myself. I like that the journalist mentioned how it was English-friendly at some of the machines for the menus. It encourages tourists not to be intimidated.
