Located in Nagasaki City, Chitose Town, "Tenpū" is a renowned hidden gem among ramen connoisseurs seeking chicken paitan ramen. The shop's unique style of opening only when the broth is ready means you might encounter an exquisite bowl if your timing is right. The small interior with just five counter seats offers a special space that feels like winning a lottery.

The ingenuity of Tenpū shines in its ingredients as well. At first glance, chicken meatballs, pickled plums, and seaweed may seem mismatched but blend perfectly with the broth to create astonishing taste. The thin noodles complement the broth well, maintaining the balance of the entire dish.
In addition to the standard chicken paitan ramen, the variety of toppings allows you to customize your bowl to your liking. Unique additional toppings like the small sausage called "Kobu-ta" or roasted duck breast are available. Among them, "Zosui" rice porridge is especially popular and highly praised as the perfect finish to your ramen experience.
The allure of Tenpū is not just the taste. The basic chicken paitan ramen is priced at a surprising 600 yen, and even with added toppings, it offers satisfaction at under 1,000 yen, a significant cost performance.
With irregular hours and limited seating, dining at Tenpū becomes an adventurous quest for the "elusive ramen." The joy you feel when you manage to catch it open is unparalleled, adding to Tenpū's charm.
