Story summary

Hakata Gensuke, a popular Japanese ramen chain known for its unique chicken-based broths, has opened a new QV location in Sydney just five minutes from its original spot. The restaurant offers a signature bowl with a layer of "shihou," which means "fat bubbles" and adds intense flavor without any funkiness. They also serve black sesame ramen with creamy texture and spicy garlic notes, along with a burnt orange broth that is quite spicy, and a shoyu broth reminiscent of classic chicken noodle soup. Notably, their fried chicken features a spice blend surpassing Colonel Sanders' famous recipe. The establishment aims to stand out in the crowded food scene by focusing on innovative uses of chicken stock and dashi, creating dishes as creamy as pork-based tonkotsu but free from any pork content.
