When it comes to Fukuoka, there's an abundance of delicious food Ramen, Yakitori, Motsunabe, Iron Pot Dishes, Udon Hakata's ramen is just too delicious 🍜 Surprisingly light, unlike the heavy ramen in Tokyo I finished it in no time. This time, I had it at Hakata Daruma Sohonten! I had Yakitori at Yakitori 634 (Musashi), Every dish was incredibly delicious 🤤 With the increasing number of tourists, popular restaurants get crowded! Make sure to book early!!!

Lopia Hakata Yodobashi is a supermarket located in the Yodobashi Camera building, accessible by going up to the 4th floor. It's the only supermarket of its kind in Japan, known among both locals and tourists. The store offers a variety of food items such as bento boxes, sushi, and pizza at incredibly low prices that are hard to pass up. The standout items here are the gigantic pizza and mackerel sushi, which come highly recommended. 📌 Lopia Hakata Yodobashi 🏷️ Hot Spot, Supermarket 📍 Japan 〒812-0012 Fukuoka, Hakata Ward, Hakataekichuogai, 6−12 Yodobashi Hakata 4F

📍 Mentai Hakata Shoboan Operating Hours Every day 11 AM - 4 PM 5 PM - 10 PM For fish enthusiasts, Hakata Shoboan is a must-visit!! If you go to Fukuoka, I highly recommend the delicious Mentai Hakata Shoboan. I've always preferred events over meat, but this place really knows how to make fish taste amazing. The combination of pollock roe and sea bream was indescribable, and even the slightly stewed fish with mirin was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend it!

📍Sakedokoro Akari Located near Hakata Station Business Hours Every day from 4:30 PM to 11:00 PM If you visit Japan, you'll definitely want to go to an izakaya where only the locals go. I also visited this time, and the atmosphere was so good. It was filled with only the locals, making it feel truly like Japan. The food is affordable and very delicious. If you want to experience a genuine local Japanese izakaya, try visiting Sakedokoro Akari.

I happened to go in because it was near the hotel I was staying at, and it was so nice to be able to order a variety of food at a cheap price in a cheerful atmosphere! There was an English menu, and the staff were friendly! However, smoking is still allowed indoors, so I think it would be good to know that before you go! The smoke from the food being grilled inside was so strong that I could barely smell the cigarette smoke, which is probably a plus..? Instead, you can smell the food from the day before completely on your clothes the next day, so I recommend wearing clothes you don't wear on your trip anymore! #RestaurantExploration #RestaurantExploration #Couple #CityTravel #SafeTravel #DateCourse

One of my best visits to southern Japan. The ambiance is relaxing, and I enjoyed the autumn in the countryside.

#October travel support event I happened to go to 'Sushi Zanmai Hakataekimae' near Hakata Station and it was really delicious. I originally planned to go for Omakase but it was closed in January. Then I happened to find this sushi restaurant and waited for about 20 minutes to get in but it was worth the wait.

You can adjust the firmness of the noodles to your liking, so ordering 'katamen' (かためん) for firmer noodles is a good option. Additionally, you can enhance the flavor of the broth to your preference by adding various toppings provided on the table, especially spicy chili oil and garlic. After finishing your ramen, if you have leftover broth, you can order additional noodles called 'kaedama' (替え玉) to enjoy more. If you feel the portion is small, try this method.

Beef offal hot pot is one of Kyushu's specialties, and Ichifuji is a must-visit restaurant for this dish, even for locals. There are three branches in Fukuoka City, and this time we visited the Hakata branch, which is just a 3-minute walk from the west exit of Hakata Station! The restaurant uses a scanning system for ordering and offers multiple language options for customers, which is very considerate! They use their own secret miso broth, filled with carefully hand-cut Kuroge Wagyu beef offal, tofu, burdock, cabbage, and chives. Paired with beer, it's absolutely unbeatable! Address: 2-4-16 Hakata Ekimae, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City

Sweets and snacks from Japan never fail to satisfy. It's taste amazing, has a beautiful design n packaging and is low calorie snack. Had my special edition Press Butter Sand. #japanesefood

First time to travel in Japan and lets say it’s amazing We chose fukuoka fir a start because we like the scenery of not so bz city and atreet compare to tokyo But it’s a blast specilally ichiran noodles #whenInJapan

#Fukuoka

#MayTravelSupportEvent #FukuokaTravel #Motsunabe Usually, Motsunabe is sold for 2 people or more, but this place sells it for 1 person, so it's great for eating alone! This is Hakata Menmotsuya💕 It's right next to the Nakasu River, and it's a popular restaurant among locals, so it seems like a lot of local office workers visit after work🤍

Aun Hakata Store Izakaya Aun? Aun? I was worried because there were no reviews, but after seeing the photo of the Hibiki Yamazaki Hakushu 3-kind sampler, I went right away. It has the feel of an izakaya that locals visit. The price range is a bit high, but the food and drinks were all delicious. And they were kind. The best part of traveling in Japan is that you can order a little bit of many things and taste them~~ But the downside is that it can empty your wallet~~

This cafe in Hakata is recommended for those who want to drink coffee to sober up after a night out! It's open from 8 a.m. to around midnight, so it seems like a cafe you can visit on various occasions! They also sell drip coffee bags, which are perfect for souvenirs ☕️ There are also many types of cakes, so I'd like to try different ones~ If you're looking for a cafe in Hakata, this is the place to go! Access: 3 minutes walk from Yakuin Station Address: 1-1-26 Shirogane, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture 810-0012, 1st floor
