I have been searching for the number one shop that I must visit whenever I go to a certain area, and this time in Hakata, my best motsunabe was decided to be at "Motsu Shigeru" which was so delicious that I couldn't forget it even after returning to Sapporo. Since it is a shop where you cannot make a reservation for one person, I kept asking around "Please let me know if you have a chance to visit Hakata" and visited again within 2 weeks because I was so hooked on this shop. I first learned about "Motsu Shigeru" from an ANA in-flight magazine a while ago, and then I saw it being introduced by celebrities on TV, so I re-recognized it. Before my visit, I searched and found out that Terumoto Jimon had eaten there on Youtube, and I couldn't resist wanting to go, so I made a reservation a month in advance (since reservations for one person are not accepted, I invited a friend) for the visit. Sitting at the counter, we toasted with beer and enjoyed two appetizers, edamame and potato salad, which were different each time so we could share and have fun. While watching the kitchen, I could see the fresh motsu being cut by hand each time, despite being very busy. This extra step of not pre-cutting prevents dryness and helps maintain freshness, and I was fascinated by it. The reservation phone kept ringing one after another, even during the busy hours. The husband and wife couldn't stop their work, so they had to answer the calls on speakerphone while cooking, and even though it seemed really tough, they were still smiling and working. What we had at "Motsu Shigeru" both times was the recommended special by Jimon, starting with motsu yaki. The motsu grilled in an iron pot was incredibly delicious, each part was truly exceptional, especially when dipped in vinegar soy sauce, it was refreshing and delicious, and each texture and taste was top-notch, making it impossible to stop eating. We alternated between the grilled motsu and appetizers like cold tomatoes and edamame, and finished it in no time. Next was the signature motsu sukiyaki, which the father carefully made for us. First, garlic slices, then the motsu was grilled in a pot, quickly cooked, then sake was added and flambéed. Once the fire settled down, the sauce was added and simmered for a while, and it was done! The motsu, seasoned with soy sauce, was incredibly delicious, the best motsu nabe I've ever had. Even though it's called motsu sukiyaki, it's not sweet, it's a refreshing umami that you can eat as much as you want, a masterpiece of excitement. The various textures were enjoyable, and the cabbage and special Kujo green onions were too delicious. The crunchy onions from Kitami and tofu were also delicious, showing the true power of fresh motsu. I thought to myself, even if all the motsu dishes in the world disappeared, as long as there's Motsu Shigeru, it would be enough. As I was enjoying the deliciousness (completely forgetting how far I had come at this point), I finished it all in one go. I think women can handle 2 servings alone, and men can handle 4 servings with this deliciousness. For the finale, we had zosui, which was also amazing. The rice coated with motsu flavor, the perfect egg, and the spring onions were irresistible, and this was also finished. Not only was it delicious, but all the staff at the shop were smiling, pleasant, and fun, making it an incredibly enjoyable time. Finding the unrivaled number one motsu nabe made me so happy, and I didn't expect to go back in 2 weeks, but that day was also happy. Thank you for the meal, I hope to visit again in the spring.

You can't experience this quality and cost performance at the same time in Tokyo. I saw it on Instagram and decided to visit. I had made a reservation for 8:00 pm, but there was a mistake and it was actually 6:00 pm, so I thought I might not be able to eat... but they kindly prepared a seat for me. The atmosphere is welcoming, with both locals and out-of-towners visiting. The place was almost full from the time I arrived until I left, so reservations are definitely necessary. The menu is simple but good. I tried the specialty "Motsu Sukiyaki" made with fresh innards, which was delicious and not smelly at all. There was also a flambé performance that engaged all the senses. The garlic was amazing. I also tried the vinegar motsu, yudofu, and motsu-filled negi-tama. Unfortunately, the raw senmai was sold out. Definitely recommend trying the negi-tama. We ended up drinking a lot of beer for about 2 hours, around 8 glasses for two people. I thought the bill would be quite high, but to my surprise, the cost performance was excellent. I am grateful for the delicious food and great value. The staff were also friendly, making my trip enjoyable. Thank you very much.

The restaurant has a strong sense of tradition. They use an iron pot and cook motsu suki with sesame oil. The flavor is intense and the portion is quite small. It's a matter of preference, but I personally prefer the standard motsu nabe with lots of motsu and soup. This place offers a version where you can enjoy various types of motsu, like maruchou, but the amount is limited so it may not be as enjoyable. They add onions and cabbage after cooking the motsu, giving it a mixed rice soup-like texture. It's like eating chanpon but turned into a rice soup. It may be a hit or miss depending on your preference. Overall, it was my first time trying it and it was enjoyable. It's all about the experience.

I visited after a long time. Previously, the old man used to prepare everything, but today a young man (his son?) did the cooking. It's a unique way of cooking. It's a motsunabe dish with a sukiyaki twist, and it surprisingly goes well together. There are other sukiyaki-style restaurants, but this one is probably the best. The seating is not traditional sunken kotatsu style, so next time I think sitting at the counter would be more comfortable.

Motsushige-san is located a 10-minute walk southwest from Akasaka Station in Fukuoka's Chuo Ward, just one street off Keyaki Street. It is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy sukiyaki made with fresh motsu. The exquisite motsu sukiyaki made with fresh and beautiful motsu is surprisingly light, yet you can still enjoy the richness of the motsu. It's a great hot pot dish that captures the essence of Fukuoka. Visited in August 2023 with Mr. Minoshima for drinks at Motsushige-san. It seemed like a popular restaurant, so I wondered if we could make a reservation, but it was surprisingly easy. The restaurant has a dignified exterior in the center of Akasaka, and there were quite a few local customers, showing its popularity. In the summer, beer is a must, so we started with draft beer at 440 yen and then ordered the grilled sweet potatoes with black sesame for 3300 yen. We started with appetizers like edamame, macaroni salad, and pumpkin salad, followed by vinegar motsu for 440 yen and motsu with leeks for 1100 yen. The motsu sukiyaki, which we ordered three servings of at 1540 yen each, was prepared by grilling the motsu, seasoning it with shichimi pepper, adding the sauce, and simmering it with sake. The combination of motsu, including intestines, tripe, heart, and more, looked beautiful and tasted delicious. The sukiyaki was surprisingly light but still had a rich flavor. We also added extra motsu and enjoyed it with another bottle of bright Nokurumi for 3300 yen. After finishing two bottles, we ended the meal with champon noodles, which were slightly softer and complemented the motsu sukiyaki perfectly. We ate and drank a lot, but the lightness of the dish prevented us from feeling bloated. It's a great option for out-of-town guests as it offers a taste of Fukuoka with its motsu hot pot. We might have found a new favorite motsu hot pot restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, we decided to try the motsu sukiyaki here because Nara Hige was visiting. We arrived a little early, so we started with some draft beer. We also ordered motsu nira-tama and motsu sukiyaki, with each person getting one portion. For drinks, we had black label shochu on the rocks with chaser. The motsu nira-tama with chewy hormone was a great match with the shochu on the rocks. The sukiyaki, prepared by the chef, was lively with various ingredients such as intestines, heart, and tripe. The chef even set it on fire to evaporate the alcohol. The motsu had a crunchy texture and was delicious. We added onions, cabbage, and leeks in the middle of the meal for more variety. We finished with champon noodles. While chatting, we found out that the chef was a former classmate of my younger brother. It's a small world! Overall, it was a great meal. Thank you, and where to next?

I finally tried motsunabe for the first time! I really wanted to eat it, so I went to the restaurant. It was crowded, but I was able to eat motsunabe in just 1 hour. The staff made it in front of me, using fresh ingredients. If I had more time, I would have liked to try the champon and other dishes. I will make a reservation next time I visit!

A popular izakaya near Akasaka Keyaki Street in Fukuoka. The service is great and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The walls are filled with autographs from celebrities and athletes. The flavor and freshness of the motsu (offal) are exceptional. The prices are also very reasonable. Instead of motsu nabe (offal hotpot), this restaurant specializes in motsu sukiyaki. The staff cooks the food for you, and they even create fire pillars for entertainment. The negi-tama (leek and egg) dish is also a favorite, with motsu inside the egg.

On Friday at 8 PM, I went to a packed restaurant. I ordered motsu sukiyaki, nira-tama, and raw senmai. The nira-tama had a variety of motsu and was really delicious. The motsu nira-tama was surprisingly good. The sukiyaki was also delicious with a sake-based flavor, and I ended up getting more onions. I want to go back again!

When you go to Fukuoka, you feel like eating something that is unique to Fukuoka. There are so many options like Mizutaki, motsunabe, tempura shops, tonkotsu ramen, udon, and the list goes on. Among them, I tried motsu sukiyaki for the first time in my life. Wow! This is amazing. That's my honest impression. A sensational experience! Next time, I want to remember to ask for green onions when making a reservation. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I have known about this restaurant since I was in Tokyo, and after returning to Fukuoka for a year and a half, I finally visited it. It was my first time trying motsu suki, and I was excited to try the rumored fire dish, but maybe my expectations were too high. The soy sauce flavor was a bit strong, so it wasn't incredibly delicious, but the negi tamago was really tasty! It was excellent (although I wish there was a bit more of it).

This place is famous for its fresh motsunabe (offal hot pot) served right in front of you. We ordered the specialities, negi-tama (leek and egg) and raw senmai (beef intestine) along with motsunabe, toasted with a toast and then had a great time chatting with four people. The chef warned us that the negi-tama has a 3-minute expiration time, so we quickly dug in. Whenever we come here, we always end up ordering the motsunabe with negi-tama. This time, the chef attended to us personally. His talk was light and enjoyable. For the motsunabe, he cooked garlic in the pot, added the offal, and then flambeed it with chili peppers and sake. I couldn't resist recording a video. While flambeeing, the chef sang a prayer for it to be delicious (lol). After adding the base sauce, we started by eating just the offal, then added tofu and onions. After finishing that, we added cabbage and leeks. For the finishing touch, we had champon noodles, and then they made porridge for us. It was delicious as always. Thank you for the meal.

When I went on a golf trip to Fukuoka for the first time, I visited this restaurant. I'm a fan of Terumon Jimon and wanted to go after watching his YouTube videos. Finally, I made it! The motsunabe was delicious, with fresh and tasty dishes like senmai, motsu no niratama, and vinegar motsu. Everything I ate was fresh and delicious. The owner was also very friendly, and the drinks went down smoothly. I think Motsu Shige is a truly unique motsunabe restaurant. Next time, I want to try the Terumon Jimon Special.

This is not your typical hot pot with fresh and delicious motsu (offal), but a unique way of eating motsu called motsu sukiyaki. It is incredibly delicious. The friendly chef, who is a specialty of the restaurant, cooks right in front of you at the table. This adds to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant for its exceptionally fresh motsu and motsu sukiyaki, which are not commonly found. It's a fun experience to enjoy with friends.

Feasting Journey Part 12 Fukuoka Trip 2023 night visit. The place is located about a 10-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the Fukuoka City Subway. When you enter the restaurant, there are counter seats in the front and tatami mat seating in the back, suitable for banquets. I ordered the following: 1. Motsu-Nira Tamago for 1,100 yen. This dish is a Nira Tamago, but the seasoning is sweet and salty like sukiyaki. The motsu includes various cuts from fatty shima chou to crunchy parts, making it very rich and luxurious. The freshness of the motsu is good, so it's just delicious. Perfect with sake! 2. Motsu Sukiyaki for 1,540 yen. Motsu sukiyaki is a mysterious dish, but it's prepared by stir-frying sliced garlic in oil, then adding various fresh motsu cuts, chili peppers, and sake, and flambéing it. The taste is like a cross between grilled motsu and simmered motsu, with a well-seasoned hormone flavor. Despite not using sugar, the seasoning is slightly sweet and savory, making it easy to eat and disappear quickly. While I haven't eaten it much, motsu suki seems like a good choice. However, the cooking method involves adding onions, nira, and cabbage after the motsu is cooked, so it's a bit tricky to eat as the vegetables remain in the pot. The final dish includes zosui and champon, with champon being the overwhelmingly popular choice. The champon noodles absorb the sweet and savory sauce, fat from the motsu, and vegetable broth, creating a flavorful dish. Champon was definitely the right choice! I realized that with good freshness and preparation, motsu can be cooked in various ways. If you want a different experience than the usual motsu nabe when visiting Fukuoka, this restaurant offers motsu suki that you can only taste locally. Also, the cost performance is good, so it's reasonably priced.

A unique restaurant that specializes in motsu sukiyaki. They start by grilling the motsu with sauce, then add broth and vegetables. Both are delicious, but the Kansai-style sukiyaki at the beginning was the best! I love this place, including the atmosphere created by the owner's stories.

I went to the main store of Fukuoka's motsunabe this time! I had high expectations after doing plenty of research, and when I finally entered the store, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. The first thing I ordered was the motsu with leek and egg. It had just the right amount of sweetness and plenty of leeks, with several types of motsu in it. It was so good that it's definitely going on my must-order list for next time! Then, I tried the motsu sukiyaki. In the first half, we sautéed plenty of garlic and motsu, added sake and chili pepper, and simmered it with vinegar and soy sauce for a refreshing taste. In the second half, we added the seasoning and vegetables to make it like sukiyaki. I heard that if you eat it this way, you won't drink the soup at all, so you can eat a lot of motsu. The three of us, big eaters, ended up eating 12 servings of motsu! The champon noodles at the end were also delicious. I will definitely be coming back! Next time, maybe just 9 servings of motsu for the three of us, haha. Thank you for the meal!

I fell in love with the warm atmosphere of the owner on my first visit. As a big fan of motsu (offal), I ended up eating so much that my satiety center went haywire, haha. The other members I went with also felt at ease with the owner's friendly demeanor, and the atmosphere became even more pleasant as the drinks flowed. If I have the chance, I would love to visit again for another business trip or something similar.

I made a reservation in advance to try the Jimon Special at a recommended restaurant when I went to Hakata. As soon as I entered the restaurant, a delicious aroma filled the air, and I was sure that I made the right choice. There was a wide variety of offal, and the blood vessels were particularly crunchy and delicious! After grilling the offal in a pot, a large amount of sake was added to season it! The owner came to the table to season it personally, and we enjoyed a friendly chat while it was being prepared! For the finishing touch, we had both champon noodles and porridge. This unique way of eating that can only be experienced at this restaurant is of excellent quality!
