Concentrate on The flavor

What is kaedama(noodle refill)?

Kaedama is Hakata's unique way of enjoying more noodles in one ramen serving.
Leave at least half of the soup to enjoy a refill of noodles.Ramen noodles are characterized for expanding in the soup as time goes by.
This is becaurse of their thinness and delicacy. The system of kaedama solved this problem.
You can order more noodles after finissing the ones in the soup,and enjoy more of their texture and aroma.

Kae-Dama (Noodle Refill) Ordering System

Kae-Dama allows you to enjoy your favorite noodle texture without the worry of your noodles expanding.
If ordered, you will receive a metal Kae-Dama plate.
Placing it on our unique sensors (at our booths) triggers our iconic Charumela Melody.
This will notify our servers that you're ready for another portion of noodles without having to utter a single word.
