Hakata Uma Uma traces its lineage back to Sanba, which introduced tonkotsu ramen to Hakata in 1953. The kitchen boils pork marrow into a pale, clean soup without excessive grease. The noodles arrive thin yet noticeably flat and adhere to the original post-war noodle cut. Crispy bite-sized gyoza dumplings emerge from the grill alongside cold beer.
