    Fukuoka Kitakyushu-shi Moji-ku Minatomachi 5-1 Strait Plaza Nishi 2F
    A Kawara soba shop in the western building of the Mojiko Retro Kaikyo Plaza in Minatomachi, Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City.

They have seating from which you can look out at the strait while enjoying your meal.

    海峡プラザに来てみると瓦そばのお店が2件。しかも1階と2階に重なるようにあります。元祖瓦そば「たかせ」は2階にあります。温かいつけ汁にレモンの輪切りともみじおろしをいれて食べます。熱い瓦で茶そばがおこげになっておいしいです。

    Fukuoka Pref. Dazaifushi Saifu 1-15-16
    A charming restaurant located inside an old remodeled private home a short ways off the approach to the popular Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine. Well-renowned and popular with tourists as well, here diners can enjoy healthy homemade cuisine prepared with seasonal, hand-picked mountain vegetables. The daily special, veritably packed with the flavors of the season, is Ochacha’s most popular menu selection. The mountain vegetable and tenmusu (onigiri with shrimp tempura filling) set, which comes with healthy sides and soup, is also an excellent choice. The restaurant also has a full selection of desserts, such as zenzai (sweet red bean soup) and yomogi shiratama (rice flour dumplings with mugwort), making it a great place to stop by before or after exploring Dazaifu.

    We had the temaki and bento sets after visiting dazaifu shrine. Both sets were vegetarian. Delicately prepared and flavors were very fresh. The place is not easy to find but luckily, we had a...

    Fukuoka Pref. Fukuokashichuouku Hirao 3-16-14
    This restaurant has continued to serve delicious mizutaki (chicken hot pot) for over 100 years since 1905. Even when it first opened, Suigetsu had lines of customers forming out the door, and today it still offers the same great flavor that was so good people were willing to line up and wait for it. The restaurant’s flavorful mizutaki is made with the choicest of ingredients, including fresh young chicken from Kyushu and bitter orange from Itoshima. A 10-minute walk from Nishitetsu Hirao Station on the Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line.

    四十年前と変わらない、変えない姿勢に感動です。水炊きはもちろん鶏の唐揚げなどの一品料理も絶品です。 私のおすすめは水炊きを一番お安いコースにして一品料理を2-3品が良いと思います。 仲居さんの対応も最高です。

    Fukuoka Pref. Fukuokashichuouku Nishinakasu 2-17
    This long-standing motsu nabe specialty restaurant has been grilling meat for fussy Hakata eaters, making them say “If you want yakiniku, go to Keishu,” for some thirty years now. There are five different kinds of motsu nabe on the menu, made from Kyushu black beef tripe. The wine cellar is also fully stocked, and on top of the excellent dishes, the restaurant also has perfectly private rooms available. The restaurant is approximately ten minutes on foot from the Fukuoka City Subway, Kuko Line’s Tenjin Station.

    もつ鍋の塩テールを食べました!3人で2人前をペロリと。他にも料理を頼みましたが、どれも美味しかったです。特にお通しも美味しかった。コスパも良かったです。

    Fukuoka Pref. Fukuokashihakataku Hakataekichuougai 1-1 Ku ten 10F
    At Motsu Nabe Showraku, established three decades ago, one can eat fresh gut and fine quality soup. The soy sauce soup is made with non-genetically modified soybeans and long-fermented moromi mash soy sauce, while the miso soup is made by mixing matured miso with a secret soy dipping sauce. A difficult choice to make! It is around a four-minute walk from JR Hakata Station, on the 10th floor of Hakata City Amu Plaza.

    Fukuoka Pref. Fukuokashihakataku Hakataekihigashi 2-4-17 The 6th Okabe Building 1F
    At restaurant “Seafood” one can feel the warmth of wood in relaxing private rooms. Here one can eat, at reasonable prices, superb-tasting natural Pacific bluefin tuna from Kagoshima, Hakata’s famous sesame mackerel, Yobiko squid sashimi, and horse-meat sashimi direct from Kumamoto. In addition, they offer robata (Japanese-style barbecue cooked in front of the customers) and Hakata-style Wara Yaki (straw-grilled) menus. It is a five-minute walk from JR Hakata Station’s Tsukushi Exit, facing the No.2 Government Office Building.

    安くておいしい居酒屋さん。 リピーターです。 お刺身の盛り合わせはマグロの赤身だと500円ですが、中トロにすると700円です(だけど、限りなく赤身でした。おいしかったけど) ピリ辛の手羽先がおいしい。 ドリンクも安くてほんとコスパの良い居酒屋です。 普段使いにちょうど良い。

    いつも人が多いところですが、この時期は開店時すぐに通りかかったら持ち帰りはすぐできるとのことで持ち帰りを。入口あけて頼んでpaypayして外で待ってるとすぐ。。対応はいつも通り愛想もなくお礼もなく普通に。 でも家で温めて食べるようにしたので、フライパンで焼いて食べて、やっぱり美味しかった。サイズは他の方も言うように小さくなってるので、1人10本くらいはぺろり。お店の方曰く、家で温めるようにしないと...

    刺身やお寿司が安くて美味しいお店ですが、近くの室見川の春の名物「白魚の踊り食い」がメニューに有ったので記念に注文。白魚の踊り食いと言えば室見川沿いの高級料理店でいただくものと思っていましたが、千数百円で食べれます。生きた白魚を金魚すくいの要領ですくって、酢醤油に入れると大暴れ、大暴れする白魚をそのままお口へ、食感の良さと春らしさを感じます。

    東京にも店舗があることは知っていましたが、なかなか食べに行く機会もなく。空港から博多駅に出て10:50。開店10分前なのでそのまま並びました。列の先頭にいたわけですが、開店直前には列ができていました。先にレジで注文とお会計を済ませ席へ。唐揚げ定食とここで食べておかないと食べる機会がないだろうと、もつ鍋定食をオーダー。いつもの倍の量のめんたいをご飯に乗せて至福のひとときでした。唐揚げも美味しかった...
