Today's lunch was left to chance. I participated in a gourmet lottery event at Hakata KITTE. I paid in advance and drew a gacha, not knowing which restaurant I would get. This time, I won Marumokitchen, and the staff told me it's a "popular restaurant among women," which got me excited. I headed to the restaurant right away. Marumokitchen is a chain of donburi specialty shops located mainly in the city center. The interior is a calm space that women would like, with about 90% of the customers being female, many dining alone. I sat at a table by myself. I wanted to spend 1500 yen, so I ordered the most luxurious "Seafood Rice Bowl" for 1520 yen. You can also customize your own bowl with toppings. The dishes were served together on one tray. The main dish was the rice bowl, and there was a bowl of hearty miso soup in a dish the same size. It was full of vegetables and a side dish of hijiki. For dessert, there was a soy milk pudding. The sushi toppings were two pieces each of four different kinds, with shirasu as a topping. The fish was well-seasoned and delicious. The balance of plenty of vegetables in addition to the rice bowl was appealing to female customers.

It's so delicious that I keep coming back. I recommend the Kinmedai (golden eye snapper) and crab mayo avocado bowl. The Kinmedai is thick and satisfying. What I love the most is the miso soup. It's warm with fresh vegetables, and it's delicious. The broth is rich and gentle. For rice bowls, I recommend the seafood options. The salmon bowl and horse mackerel in a peperoncino-style bowl were also very delicious. The restaurant was crowded with women inside. It's conveniently located just a short walk from Hakata Station. I got a 200 yen discount for registering on the app.

I went for lunch during a long holiday. The restaurant on the first basement floor was too crowded, so I chose to dine on the upper floor. There were many attractive rice bowl options, and I was torn between the seafood ochazuke and the grilled meat bowl. I ended up choosing the grilled meat bowl. The miso soup with plenty of ingredients had a gentle flavor that I was able to finish until the end. The small side dish on top was said to be pudding, but it was actually sesame tofu (lol). It was delicious. Although there was not enough meat compared to the rice, the taste was good. I wish there was a meat extra-large option. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

I was pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of rice and left satisfied. I ordered the tartare dish. The ingredients in the miso soup vary daily, and today's included fresh vegetables as shown in the photo. The vegetables were crunchy and it was evident that they were fresh. The price range is around 1500 yen.

KITTE Hakata's 9th floor has a place called "Marumo Kitchen". It has an open atmosphere and a cafe-style interior. The staff and customers are mostly women, so men might feel a bit out of place. But, it's not a big deal. They offer a chicken and beer set for 1180 yen, which includes a small bottle of beer, fried chicken, and potatoes. The chicken is well-spiced and goes perfectly with the beer, especially when eaten with tartar sauce. The potatoes are also fried with a hint of skin on, so they're freshly made. Overall, it's a nice place to enjoy some chicken and beer. - Shop Information: Marumo Kitchen 092-441-8617 9-1 Hakataekichuogai, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka

This is my first visit to "Marumokitchen KITTE Hakata". They offer domestic beef yakiniku for 1450 yen, roast beef rice bowl for 1520 yen, chicken burger for 980 yen, and fried potatoes for 270 yen. They have a wide variety of set meals and dessert menus. Each meal comes with miso soup, a side dish, and dessert. The miso soup was full of ingredients and had a western-style taste, which was unique. The white topping on the roast beef bowl that I thought was mayonnaise turned out to be cheese, which had a surprisingly interesting flavor. The burger had rice buns, giving it a healthier feel. The kids really enjoyed the fried potatoes and ended up ordering more. I arrived around 6 pm on a Saturday, and there were still empty seats, but it quickly filled up while we were eating, with many families dining there. The tables were spacious, allowing for a comfortable seating arrangement where you don't feel crowded by people around you, making it a good choice for families with children.

This is a modern rice bowl restaurant located in the restaurant district of KITTE Hakata. The restaurant in the middle of the floor has a stylish and trendy atmosphere that seems to be popular with women. The menu includes a main rice bowl, along with soup and dessert as a set. I chose the "Rare Tuna Cutlet and Small Shrimp Fry with Tartar Rice" from the menu. You can also add toppings for an additional charge. After a short wait, my order of the "Rare Tuna Cutlet and Small Shrimp Fry with Tartar Rice" for 1370 yen was ready. The main rice bowl had plenty of ingredients, but the rice portion was small, making it popular with women. The accompanying soup was a miso soup with plenty of vegetables. The side dish was simmered hijiki, a healthy menu staple. The dessert that came with it was black sugar jelly. The restaurant is located on the 9th floor of KITTE Hakata.

It was a weekday, but I finished work early so I decided to have dinner before heading home. I thought I would go to Hakata Station and decide from there. I decided to check out the dining area at KITTE Hakata first. It was relatively hot that day, and I noticed a soba restaurant. Both restaurants had few customers due to the timing. There was an attractive restaurant that caught my eye, targeting women with its set meals. I chose this restaurant as it was not crowded. I arrived at the restaurant around 7:35 PM. There were about 6 young female customers in the dining area. I ordered the rare tuna cutlet and shrimp fry with tartar sauce, with extra rice. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes and had a good amount of volume. The tuna cutlet was soft and delicious, while the shrimp fry was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The miso soup was flavorful with lots of ingredients. The kinpira gobou had a gentle flavor. I also had a black sugar pudding for dessert, which was rich and tasty. I enjoyed the meal and it cost me 1430 yen. It was a bit pricey but delicious. I will visit again.

This time, I visited Marumokitchen KITTE Hakata store located at 9-1 Hakata Ekimae, Chuo-gai, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. It had been a while since I last visited, and I noticed that new shops have opened up. The atmosphere is stylish and cafe-like, with eye-catching displays. I ordered the Black Wagyu Beef Yakiniku Rice for 1400 yen (excluding tax), which came with plenty of vegetables and seems to be popular among women. The restaurant is under the same management as Obon DE Gohan, operated by BYO Co., Ltd. It seems like they have put a lot of thought into it. Thank you for the meal!

I often go to Amu Plaza or KITTE for lunch before attending concerts of my favorite artists in Oita and Hakata (*´艸｀). I usually eat at a restaurant on the 9th floor, which I noticed this time even though I've been to KITTE several times before. I found out that it opened in September this year when I looked it up for this review. It was around 1 pm on a weekday when I visited. The restaurant offers a variety of rice bowl dishes, such as seafood rice bowl, satisfying rice bowl, tomato hayashi rice, udon with chirashi rice, as well as desserts and drinks. I ordered the Avocado Beef Chirashi Rice for 1300 yen (excluding tax), while my eldest daughter ordered the Rare Tuna Cutlet and Shrimp Fry with Tartar Sauce Rice for the same price. All dishes come with miso soup, side dishes, and dessert. The miso soup was served in a large bowl with plenty of vegetables, highlighting the importance of eating vegetables in miso soup. The beef in the rice bowl was not heavily seasoned as I expected, but had a gentle flavor that complemented the avocado, flying fish roe, tomato, egg, and trefoil. The rice was also delicious. Thank you for the meal! (*^-^*)

I visited Kitte's Maru Kitchen again. Their Japanese-style rice bowl has a unique mix of Western flavors, which I really like. This time, I tried a rice bowl with pork, eggplant, shimeji mushrooms, and mizuna, and it was delicious. The miso soup was a bit light in flavor, but I heard they are particular about the ingredients they use. I also enjoyed the Japanese-style pudding dessert. The combination of black syrup and pudding is really good. I want to try the seafood bowl next time!

Located inside Kitte, Marumo Kitchen is a new restaurant that used to be an oyster shop. The menu offers a mix of Japanese and Western dishes with a stylish and modern twist. I tried the Om Tomato Hayashi Gohan, which was a fusion of flavors that felt very fresh. Although a bit spicy from the pepper, it was delicious and satisfying. The side dishes and miso soup were also flavorful, with a focus on quality ingredients. For dessert, I had the black honey pudding, which was a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, I got the impression that this is a restaurant that would appeal to women.笑.

I had a work meeting at a cafe in Hakata Station and had lunch with a male staff member from the company. Looking around the restaurant, I noticed that all the customers were women, except for the two of us. It felt a bit out of place, but since we were already there, we decided to eat properly. After looking at the menu, I felt like having a seafood bowl, so I ordered a luxurious lunch set for 1400 yen, which included a seafood bowl, miso soup, side dish, and dessert. The food came out quickly, in less than 5 minutes. However, I was a bit disappointed when I saw the seafood bowl. The sashimi, like tuna, didn't look fresh. For this price, the quality of the sashimi seemed a bit high. In this area, places like Hinode or Kizumaru might be better. I indulged a bit for lunch.

On this day, I had a meeting at Hakata Station and hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I first went to the food floor in the basement of Kitte Hakata. There were various shops like Starbucks, Linga Hut, Tempura Tenya, Toritada, Kushikatsu Tanaka, Tenjin Horumon, and Ramen Shinshin Kisuiran, but this time I decided to go upstairs. I went up to the 9th floor, where there were Tempura Tsuna Hachi, Motsunabe Ooyama, and others. I was hesitating on what to eat when I found a new restaurant, Marumo Kitchen, and decided to give it a try. Looking at the menu, it seemed like a place catered more towards women with their rice bowl dishes. I ordered something that looked like a seafood bowl. The miso soup had a lot of ingredients which was good, but the main dish, the seafood bowl priced at 1400 yen, was a bit expensive and the freshness of the sashimi was not that great. If you want to eat a seafood bowl, it might be better to go to Kisuiran on the basement 1st floor.

On the 9th floor of KITTE on the Hakata side of Hakata Station, there is a cafe called "Marumo Kitchen" specializing in rice bowl dishes. There are over 20 rice bowl dishes made with fresh meat and seafood. Each dish is packed with fresh vegetables, making them healthy and well-balanced. I added a topping of fried egg to the "Scallop Butter Soy Sauce Rice Bowl". All rice bowl dishes come with a miso soup filled with plenty of vegetables. It was a delicious dinner that I enjoyed very much.

I'm glad that I could eat a lot with the free extra-large portion of rice.

I went to Marumo Kitchen! Whether you want to eat a hearty meal with a set menu or enjoy sweets at the cafe, it's up to you(^^)

There are various toppings available, making it a great choice for a healthy day when you want to get your vegetables. With a variety of menu options, it seems like you won't get bored anytime soon. The food was delicious and satisfying! The food scene in Hakata is truly top-notch!
