Unlike other Japanese ramen brands, upon entering Taiwan, it chose to establish its first store in Hsinchu. In mid-October 2015, its third branch in Taiwan—the Taipei Main Station Branch—opened, officially expanding its presence to northern Taiwan. This area is also a fiercely competitive battleground for ramen brands. The brand highlights authentic Hakata-style tonkotsu broth. To avoid the broth being too intense for Taiwanese consumers, it also offers four flavor options: Hakata Rich Tonkotsu, Hakata Light Tonkotsu, Black Ramen, and Red Ramen (spicy).

Hakata Ikkousha Tonkotsu Ramen has rapidly expanded globally, with branches in India, China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Australia, the United States, and more. By setting up in the Taipei Main Station commercial area, it can reach customers across the Greater Taipei region as well as international tourists from various countries. You no longer need to go to Japan to enjoy Hakata Ikkousha Tonkotsu Ramen—it’s now easily accessible in Taiwan.
