Visited before 1:00 PM on a Saturday. Had grilled chicken thigh with sand liver, 1 serving of grilled rice ball, cooked in a charcoal fire pit style. The chicken was fresh and the sauce on the thigh was deliciously sweet. But the highlight was the kettle-cooked rice, it was soft and shiny with a hint of sweetness in the rice. The staff were efficient and pleasant to watch. Thank you for the delicious meal!

A restaurant in Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Akizuki, known for its eel and local chicken dishes. This place has a great location, delicious food, and affordable prices, making it a hidden gem that you want to keep to yourself. The restaurant has charcoal grills at each table where you can grill your own chicken and eel. I recommend ordering the eel and grilling it until the skin becomes crispy without adding any sauce, then enjoying it in its lightly grilled state. The concept of eel will change for you. The ingredients are fresh and grilling over charcoal allows even amateurs to surpass renowned eel restaurants. I recently tried the Irori Kura course for 3,300 yen and couldn't resist visiting despite the snow. The course includes Akizuki vegetable salad, Fukuoka horse sashimi, assorted grilled dishes (local chicken), Irori porridge, and dessert. The Akizuki vegetables were fresh and delicious, the local chicken was grilled crispy with garlic, salt, and pepper, and the porridge was rich in flavor from kombu and local chicken without the need for ponzu sauce. The Irori Kura course was also excellent.

Autumn Moon〜(●´ω｀●) I stopped by a cozy shop with a hearth (^.^) It was just past 3 pm, with only one other group of customers, good〜♫ I ordered the last plate of momo. It was tender and seasoned with salt, simply delicious. The chicken was flavorful with a charcoal aroma, good texture and tasty! The rice cooked in a pot was the best! Just this with pickles and chicken is enough! The mixed rice cooked in a pot had a good texture with chicken. It's a nice side dish. The highball was not too strong and tasty. The portion was small but just right? I ordered another one though. The thick fried tofu was delicious with a crispy flavor. The appetizer could be improved and made a part of the menu. The chicken soup was not as good as the chicken rice dish. Just garlic and chili pepper as condiments are enough. Points of concern: flying flies! Currently no refills are allowed, and the appetizer is a bit lacking in content. As a result, the cost performance may be slightly questionable in some aspects. Thank you for the meal♪(´ε｀ )

A specialty chicken shop in Akizuki, Asakura City. There is a dedicated parking lot and the location of the shop has a nice atmosphere. I called the day before but couldn't get through, so I visited without making a reservation. Even when I went at opening time, I had to wait for an hour. I made a reservation and visited after killing time. They use Kodokari chicken for their meat. I ordered items like salted thigh, thigh with sauce, gizzard, and heart with sauce. I have been to many chicken shops before, but the portion size for each dish is small. The meat is delicious, but dishes like gizzard and heart with sauce only come with two pieces each. There are no set meals, so in terms of cost performance, it is worse than other shops. Also, the dishes take a long time to come out and it's hard to eat.

I quickly thought of Furudokoro Kei when my parents requested to eat delicious chicken. We decided to visit the restaurant in Akizuki, which is known for its chicken dishes, and we were very satisfied with the delicious food and variety of side dishes. The staff was also very friendly and provided excellent service, despite being busy. The chicken liver at Furudokoro Kei was exceptionally delicious, so I highly recommend trying it! We will definitely visit again!

*Received dishes - Akizuki Jidori Salt-grilled: 1200 yen - Furidokoro Chicken Thigh with Sauce: 1200 yen - Furidokoro Chicken Thigh Salt-grilled: 1200 yen - Liver and Heart with Sauce: 600 yen - Kama-meshi (rice cooked in a pot) - 1 serving: 450 yen - Aosa (seaweed) and Cartilage Potato Salad: 500 yen - Otoshi (table charge): 300 yen Complimentary: Chicken soup, salad, condiments (Yuzu pepper, Chicken miso, Ponzu, Salt) Customers can choose 3 out of 6 types of salt in advance. The Jidori chicken is tender and easy to eat, while the Furidokoro chicken is juicy. Both have a rich umami flavor and are very delicious. Whether with sauce or salt, there are various condiments available for flavor variation, such as Yuzu pepper and miso, making it enjoyable! The flavors are great, but the portion sizes are modest. Prices are a bit high due to being a tourist spot. It would be nice if the table charge was included in the price and came with soup and salad. The Aosa and Cartilage Potato Salad didn't have much Aosa flavor, but the texture of the cartilage was interesting, and the egg on top, typical of a chicken restaurant, was delicious! *Atmosphere The restaurant has an old-fashioned exterior typical of the castle town of Akizuki, but the interior is clean and has a calm, modern atmosphere. The seats are spacious, allowing for a pleasant dining experience. While the cost performance may not be the best due to being a tourist spot, the food and atmosphere are both good, resulting in a high level of satisfaction. I would like to visit again when in Akizuki.

In Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, I visited "Fukurouno Hibiki Akizuki Irori Kura" because I wanted to eat my favorite local chicken. The appetizers here are chicken soup, Akizuki crispy vegetables with garlic yuzu pepper, and homemade chicken miso. I ordered the Aged Chicken Thigh Grilled with salt for 1200 yen and Akizuki Jidori Teriyaki for 1200 yen. There are 6 types of salt to choose from, and you can enjoy your meal with your favorite salt. Grilling the chicken on the hearth makes it taste even better. I personally like the chewy texture, so I really enjoyed the Akizuki Jidori. Just these dishes were enough to fill up two people. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Lunch, do you think it's worth paying for the appetizer to eat it? It feels kind of wasteful, is it because of poor people? In April of this year, a new specialty chicken grill restaurant opened in Asakura City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Akizuki, known as the "Little Kyoto of Fukuoka." In the summer, many customers come from various places seeking coolness, with abundant water from the mountains and underground water flowing. You can also see the ruins of the Akizuki clan's castle and enjoy a leisurely sightseeing. About two months ago, it was featured on a local TV station, so I decided to go eat the chicken grill right away. The distance from my home is about 20 kilometers one way, so it feels very close. I arrived at 11:30 to match the weekday opening time. The renovated interior of the building, with white walls, is a calm and relaxing dining area with all seats raised slightly. There is only one male owner in his early 40s. I was torn between choosing the local brand Furukoro chicken or the Akizuki chicken, but I decided that the chewy texture was better. - Akizuki chicken (grilled with sauce) = 1200 yen - Grilled rice balls (2 pieces) = 280 yen - Appetizer (chicken soup, vegetable salad) = 300 yen This is the combination I ordered. A charcoal fire is prepared on the table, and all that's left is to wait for the food to be served. When I saw the chicken meat on the plate, I thought, "1200 yen for this?!" Well, it's a bit large, but there are only four pieces. The sauce is a bit too much, but there seems to be a bit too little... The chicken soup has a strong chicken flavor, and I personally think it would be the best if I added one more sprinkle of salt and pepper. This is a matter of personal preference. The vegetable salad uses local vegetables such as cabbage, bell peppers, cucumbers, and coriander, which are fresh. Except for the cabbage, everything is fresh. The grilled rice balls are a style where you grill them yourself with a little soy sauce drizzled on top. When it's slightly charred, you spread chicken miso on it and eat it. It tastes pretty good. Now, the most important part, the grilled Akizuki chicken is ready. When I took a bite of one piece, it was quite large. When I cut it in half with scissors, it became smaller in size. Before eating, I dipped it in the sauce three times and grilled it, so the taste was good. The chewy texture unique to Akizuki chicken is made with fresh chicken. The charred surface is also good, they are good at grilling. Poor people have a habit of flipping meat multiple times. If you dip it in a little chicken miso before eating, the taste changes to something else. They use good chicken meat, but it's not enough to fill your stomach. You can choose from the a la carte menu and add more, but poor people don't have that kind of luxury. I don't have money. I'll leave the restaurant with my stomach 60% full, but I heard from an acquaintance that it gets very crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. I think it's better to visit tourist spots on weekdays.

Excellent! The service is great and the food is delicious. You must try the Grilled Chicken Thigh with Sauce at [Furudokoro Niwatori].
