Why it's rare: Hakata tonkotsu is perhaps the most famous style of ramen in all of Japan yet MARUTAI's authentic regional recipe, produced directly in Hakata itself, has zero mainstream US retail presence. MARUTAI specializes exclusively in capturing Japan's distinct regional ramen cultures in non-fried instant form a level of craft and authenticity that no American instant noodle brand has ever come close to replicating.
