Located about a 3-4 minute walk northeast from Yakuin Odori Station Exit 1 on the Nanakuma Line, there was a long line in front of the shop... Let's wait. (^_^;) Once inside the shop, we were guided to the counter seats on the 1st floor. There are also seats on the 2nd floor. We started with a cheers with a draft beer. The appetizer was fresh cabbage. We started with 5 pieces of grilled chicken skewers. The unique texture of the chicken skewers, along with the fat and just the right amount of salt, went well with the beer. Let's continue ordering more dishes. We tried one skewer each of rare and well-cooked Sasami (chicken tenderloin) yakitori, each topped with wasabi soy sauce. The rare one allows you to enjoy the difference in texture between the outside and inside of the Sasami, while the well-cooked one lets you savor the meatiness of the Sasami itself. The wasabi soy sauce adds a nice touch. We also had one skewer of Seseri (chicken neck meat), which had a perfect balance of texture, flavor, and fat. Next, we tried two skewers of Darm (pork intestine) with onion skewered in between. The crispy parts and the chewy parts create a unique texture. It may have a strong flavor, but it goes well with alcohol. So, we added Tiger & Dragon skewers. Lastly, we had one skewer of Tsukune (chicken meatball) with cartilage. The fluffy texture of the meat and the crunchy cartilage, with a hint of saltiness, made for a satisfying end to the meal. This time, we had a light drinking and eating experience, but I would like to visit again for a more hearty meal. Thank you for the delicious meal.

When it comes to Hakata, you think of Torikawa. And when it comes to Hakata, you think of yakitori, and the Torikawa Hakata yakitori is marinated in oil for several days, giving it a juicy yet crispy texture. If you're not a fan of chewy Torikawa, you should definitely try it once. I visited the Torikawa Hakata in Yakuin, about 6 years since my last visit. Time flies, it's scary. If you go about 15 minutes before opening, you can be among the first to enter. First, I ordered the Torikawa and waited eagerly. The Torikawa was deliciously crispy and juicy, perfect for pairing with beer (or in my case, highball). I also love the rare grilled chicken breast with wasabi soy sauce. The Darm, a pig intestine dish mainly found in Kurume, is also unique and delicious. The cucumber sticks were a refreshing touch. The Camembert cheese roll was a tasty change of pace. I couldn't eat as much as I wanted because I had overeaten at lunch, but I was completely satisfied with my visit to Sui Kyo. I definitely want to visit Fukuoka regularly.

I arrived for a late dinner and decided to try this place recommended to me. When I arrived before 9 PM, there was a couple waiting ahead of me. I asked and found out I was the third group in line. Since I was already there, I decided to wait for about 20 minutes before being seated. I ordered 10 pieces of chicken skin, recommended grilled pig feet, and grilled chicken tenderloin. The chicken skin was better than expected and the grilled chicken tenderloin was cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and I would definitely like to visit again.

I always wanted to try this restaurant whenever I passed by. This time, I decided to give it a try during my solo trip and was pleasantly surprised that I could easily get a seat. I ordered 5 pieces of chicken skin and grilled chicken tail. Since I was dining alone, I couldn't try a wide variety of dishes, which was a bit disappointing. The tsukune (chicken meatball), shiitake mushroom, and yam were all very delicious. The chicken skin was especially good!

I wanted to try this place because it recently became a famous restaurant, "Torikawa Suikyo". Torikawa is their specialty! I often go to other Torikawa restaurants, but Suikyo's Torikawa is about twice as expensive. I saw the smallest drumstick for the first time. A highball costs 660 yen! I've never seen such an expensive highball at a yakitori restaurant before. It seems like they charge mostly tourists.

I went there for the first time this time. The interior of the restaurant had a spacious counter seat on the first floor, and it seemed like there was also a second floor. We were seated at the counter seat on the first floor, toasted with beer, and ordered various dishes. Everything was delicious as usual *\(^o^)/* There were many foreign customers around. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited "Torikawa Suikyo" in Yakuin. To be honest, I found it to be quite expensive overall. The Torikawa, highball, yakitori portion sizes, and other things... I don't think local people would go there. The cooking was also not that great.

Today, I visited the famous restaurant "Torikawa Suikyo". Of course, I started with the torikawa dish. The torikawa rolled up in a spiral was juicy and very delicious. Everything was tasty and I was very satisfied. The torikawa was so delicious that I even ordered an additional serving at the end.

I visited the famous restaurant SuiKyo in Yakuin Odori, Fukuoka for the second consecutive week. The restaurant is known for its delicious yakitori and has a long history dating back to 2003. The atmosphere was lively, with most of the counter seats occupied. I ordered a variety of dishes including vinegar motsu, grilled chicken skewers, chicken gizzards, chicken fillets, pork belly, beef ribs, cream cheese rolls, and minced chicken with cartilage. Each dish was flavorful and cooked to perfection, with a great balance of seasoning. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience enjoyable. I also enjoyed a couple of cold beers to accompany my meal. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience at SuiKyo, and I look forward to visiting again.

I love the taste of chicken skin. Initially, I was planning to go to a different restaurant, but I changed my plans and went to this one recommended by locals. The chicken skin was crispy and juicy, absolutely delicious. The grilled skewers were also great with a hint of wasabi, my wife even asked for seconds. We will definitely go back again.

I was recommended to visit this place. I was jokingly told that one person can eat 30 chicken skin skewers, but I actually found it easy to eat them like drinking water (although I only had around 10). I made a reservation to visit, but for walk-ins, there is a 10-20 minute wait as it is a popular restaurant.

Visited "Torikawa Suikyo", a popular yakitori restaurant known for its chicken skin, located a 5-minute walk from Yakuin Station. While "Kawaya" is the go-to place for chicken skin in Hakata, this local spot also offers delicious grilled chicken skin. Arrived around 8pm on a weekday and there was no wait. We ordered the specialty torikawa for 180 yen, torikimo for 150 yen, and pork belly for 150 yen, along with some draft beer. The torikawa, similar to "Kawaya", was grilled with the chicken skin wrapped around the skewer, giving it a unique texture that is consistently delicious. You can easily devour about 10 skewers. The other yakitori skewers were also quite tasty as starters.

There is some time before the flight departing from Fukuoka at 19:40, so I decided to stop by "Torikawa Suikyo" for a challenge. I arrived at the restaurant a little after 17:00 on Friday and was able to sit at the counter until 18:30. I started with a beer, and was asked how many pieces of chicken skin I wanted. So, I ordered 5 pieces of chicken skin, as well as pork belly, rare Sasami shichimi skewers, cheese rolls, and more. The chicken skin here is wrapped around a skewer, grilled, and dried for several days to remove excess fat, resulting in a crispy texture with rich flavor. The outside is crispy, while the inside is chewy and delicious. I quickly finished the 5 pieces (laughs). The additional pork belly and Sasami shichimi skewers were also delicious. I would like to enjoy it slowly with my colleagues next time. Thank you for the meal.

The other day, I visited this place for the first time since it was chosen as one of the top 100 restaurants. The place was crowded with customers even on a weekday. However, it took about 15 minutes each time for our drinks to arrive, and the taste of drinks like highballs was quite weak. Also, the yakitori was a bit pricey at 180 yen per skewer of chicken skin, and it took over 20 minutes for our order to be served. The staff seemed busy and not very friendly. I was quite satisfied when I visited before, but this time was disappointing. I hope they can improve.

I have visited this restaurant in Fukuoka three times already! It's a cozy place where you can easily get a lot of food. It's best to go on weekdays as it gets crowded on weekends. I was surprised when they asked me about the number of chicken skin skewers and drinks at first! Now I order at least 5 skewers for myself. It's really delicious!

I visited Suikyo with my girlfriend who loves chicken skin. We arrived before 8 o'clock and there were about 3 groups waiting in line. It seemed like the restaurant was always full during peak hours. After waiting for a while, we were seated and asked how many chicken skin skewers we wanted. We ordered about 6 skewers. The taste was okay, not enough to change my personal ranking of favorite skewers. The other skewers were not outstanding enough for me to wait in line for.

I'm not a fan of chicken skin, but it was delicious!! It was light and easy to eat, which made me understand why I could eat as many as I wanted. I was surprised that it still tasted good even after some time. I mean, it might even be better after some time? Next time, I want to try challenging myself to eat 20 skewers at the first place I visit. (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

With a mix of disappointment and anticipation, I continued to check the weather forecast, but my expression remained unchanged. The weather was getting worse day by day. When I landed at Fukuoka Airport in the evening, the atmosphere outside was filled with rain and humidity. I hurriedly boarded the subway, changed from the Fukuoka Airport Line to the new Nanakuma Line at Hakata Station, and headed to Yakuin-Oodori Station. The shop I was aiming for was called "Torikawa Suikyo." I had decided to revisit this shop to overwrite the sad memory of waiting in the cold last year, only to be told that there were only 10 pieces of torikawa left as I was about to enter, following a group of Korean tourists. As I approached the exit of Yakuin-Oodori Station, a humid and hot wind reminiscent of Southeast Asia licked my whole body. It seemed like it was about to start raining. The climate in this country no longer has four seasons, and I couldn't help but think it would be better to change it to a rainy season and a dry season. I made my way through the streets lined with mixed-use buildings and apartments. It was still not dark, but large red lanterns stood as if waiting for me. Were they customers waiting to enter the shop? There seemed to be only one man smoking a cigarette. Other than that, there was no one in sight, and I nervously entered the empty counter seats. I ordered a draft beer and looked through the menu. Of course, the "specialty torikawa" (180 yen per skewer) was the obvious choice. The lineup of torikawa, meticulously grilled, stimulated a subtle but intense appetite with its firm texture and unique sweet sauce flavor. The specialty Motsu skewers from Bibai City in Hokkaido would likely be ordered in quantities of 20 or 30 by local Fukuoka residents. I started with an order of 10 torikawa skewers. As I crunched on the cabbage appetizer, torikawa suddenly appeared in front of me and was placed on a plate. Although it didn't look like yakitori at first glance, when I brought it to my mouth, the firm, charred, oil-free texture and the unique sweet sauce flavor overwhelmed me. With a beer in one hand, I already had a new skewer in the other, eating the torikawa that clung to it. However, I had no intention of just focusing on torikawa because it was a torikawa shop. Along with another draft beer, I chose the recommended menu items "Soft Bone Meatballs" (190 yen), "Thick Fried Tofu" (380 yen), and "Sasami Shigi Yaki" (290 yen). The salaryman sitting to my right spoke in a cheerful tone, but I couldn't grasp whether he had a Kansai accent or a Kyushu accent. On the other hand, the female customer sitting at the far end on the left silently savored the torikawa and poured her own beer. Despite being familiar with the city, there was a sense of something different in the air. As my refill of draft beer ran out and I switched to a highball, the soft bone meatballs arrived. The small fist-sized meatballs lay in a rigid posture, as if to show off their presence. Eating the meatballs without adding anything, the unique texture of the soft bones resonated in my jaw. But as the meat crumbled like it was falling apart, a huge amount of heat dominated my throat, and I involuntarily used the highball to cool down. It had a satisfying eating experience, as expected from a recommended menu item. Just as I thought that, the thick fried tofu arrived. Its presence was as unwavering as the soft bone meatballs, and it attacked with a solid surface and a gentle interior, accompanied by the sauce. I poured a highball into my slightly sweaty body and sought more. A sense of satisfaction slowly crept in, although I wouldn't say I was full. The content of the summer in Kyushu, which was about to be hit by heavy rain, was =====.

If you want to eat chicken skin in Hakata, this is the place to go, as recommended by a local. I arrived before the opening at 5:00 PM on a Monday, but there were already several people waiting in line, showing how popular the restaurant is. The ordering system is to first order a few pieces of chicken skin, and then later order your other choices at a leisurely pace. The pork belly, tsukune, and other Hakata-style yakitori were all delicious, and it was easy to see why this place is so popular. The beer was also served with a nice foam, and the atmosphere was lively and vibrant. Overall, it's a fantastic restaurant!

I tried the grilled chicken skin at Guruguru Maita in Fukuoka, and it was my favorite among all the chicken skin dishes I've tried. The menu options are not too many, so I may not be able to drink here for a long time. But I can just keep eating chicken skin, haha. It was crowded even on a weekday, but I definitely want to go back to eat there again.

I felt like eating yakitori and visited for the first time. I arrived in the evening to match the opening hours. There were already about 20 people waiting in line to enter. First, they asked how many skewers of yakitori we wanted. This time, we ordered 10 skewers for two people, along with bottled beer. The yakitori is grilled right in front of you and served on a bed of cabbage. The flavor of the skin was rich and delicious. The other skewers were also very tasty, and I was impressed. Among the yakitori places I've visited recently, this one easily ranks in the top three.
