337channels

5 of the 9 videos are Fukuoka videos, and 2 of those put the main branch in the title. 2 travel vlogs put Ichiran in their first episode, one on the day they landed at the airport, the other packing it into a single episode along with motsunabe and the Nakasu yatai stalls. The other 4 do not mention Fukuoka in the title. 2 videos from November 2022 and January 2023 lead with store closure news in the title, 1 is a big-eating challenge at a Taiwan branch, and 1 is a review from an after-work stop in the small hours that never says where it was.

麺や兼虎

132channels

Of the 40 titles read out of 56 sources, 27 put tsukemen up front, and 8 of those described the broth with the same word, noukou, meaning rich and thick. Another 8 talk about the line. Some channels call a one-hour wait standard, while in 2026 one Korean channel went up with a title about how to eat there without lining up. The 14 that name a branch scatter across five spots, the Tenjin main shop, Hakata Station, Parco, Tosu Outlet, and Tenjin Nishidori, with at least 4 added every year since 2021, and 3 of the 6 from 2026 are news of new branch openings.

Hakata Ward · 博多名代　吉塚うなぎ屋 本店

85channels

Of the 40 titles read (68 in total), 13 put the shop's age in the title, and 150 years is the most common, with 7. The menu comes down to one dish, unagi-don. 15 of the 24 Korean titles name unagi-don, and across all 40 the only dish that is not a rice bowl is grilled eel, in 2. Celebrity mentions split by language, with 6 of the 16 Japanese titles putting a celebrity like Tamori or a TV feature in the title, while 1 of the 24 Korean titles names Sung Si-kyung. Talk of crowds stretches across 8 years in 3 titles, a queue in 2017, lots of tourists in 2022, and reservations required in 2025.

博多 一幸舎

78channels

We read 40 of the 207 videos, and 10 of those were uploaded by the shop's own official channel. In the remaining 30, 6 channels each mentioned the foam in their titles, and four used the category name 泡系, foam-style, as is. Three also flatly called it the original. Of the 27 that showed which branch, 13 were the main shop, 7 the branches inside the Hakata Station building and on the Chikushi Exit side, 3 the Fukuoka Airport branch, 3 the drive-in shop south of the airport, and 1 the Nishinakasu branch, so the evidence points not to a single shop but to the whole chain spread across central Fukuoka and the airport.
