I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. I arrived before opening time in the rain and waited for a while. I had reserved the "wappa gozen" set meal, so I only had to choose a drink after the meal. The food was served in about 10 minutes after entering the restaurant. The rice was quite soft for my liking. The tempura, simmered dish, mozuku seaweed, and chawanmushi all had a strong salty taste. I don't plan on visiting again.

The owner, a woman, kindly allowed me to enter just before the last order at the restaurant before visiting Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. The rice was cooked just the way I like it and the side dishes were seasoned to bring out the flavors of the ingredients. The owner even offered me extra rice and pickles. There are counter and table seats available. I will definitely stop by here again when visiting Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine.

I have used a charming Japanese restaurant that renovated an old folk house in Imai's alley before. There are several lunch menus, and I had the "Wappa Gozen" (1980 yen). Payment is cash only. When it was served, I was impressed by the variety of dishes. The top tier had tamagoyaki, sweet simmered sweet potatoes, and simmered Koya tofu, all with gentle and delicious flavors. The bottom tier had shrimp, kisu fish, pumpkin, eggplant tempura, etc., served with tempura dipping sauce and salt. There was also sesame-dressed sea bream, vegetable salad, simmered daikon, and mozuku seaweed. The chawanmushi was small but tasty. The rice was shiny and you could have seconds. There was also lotus root vinegar dish, plenty of miso soup, and a choice of drinks, so I had iced coffee. The dishes were visually and tastefully enjoyable, with careful preparation and gentle seasoning. Considering the content and the drink included, 1980 yen seems like a good deal. They also have private rooms, making it suitable for various occasions.

It is located about a 5-minute walk from the Yakuin-Odori Station, near Yakuin Rokkaku. Once you step off the main road, you will find a lovely old Japanese house. The lunch course is 2420 yen, and the popular choice is the "Wappa Gozen," but I opted for the set where you can choose your main dish. The appetizer consisted of a salad, warm vegetables, and sashimi, all beautifully presented. The chawanmushi had a gentle flavor and was very comforting. For the main dish, you can choose from 3 options. I chose the pork with mustard sauce, which was delicious. Rice and miso soup were also included. For dessert, there was sherbet, a mini cake, and fruits, all beautifully arranged. I ended the meal with a cup of coffee. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and I was able to relax and enjoy my meal. They also have private rooms, so you can chat without feeling self-conscious. I recommend making a reservation before going. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Drinking with or without snacks. There was a faint light in the place I was wandering around. I had been here a long time ago, but it's unclear if the store has changed. The atmosphere is quite nice. It has a hidden gem feel that can be used for a girls' night out or a date. However, the music selection lacks seasonality. Visited in early summer, just before June. The music genre is one I like, but the sweet jazz that you would hear during the Christmas season suits the ambiance of the store, but it feels a bit stuffy and a little suffocating (even though I like the music). This time, I chose the "Choi-nomi wappa set" with 2 drinks included for 1500 yen. The wappa contained a small amount of tempura and various side dishes. Currently, they close at 10 pm, but if they were open until 2 am, it would make me want to visit more. The taste was average. The additional white fish poêlé had a slightly dry texture, but the crunchiness was satisfying. Lastly, due to items being sold out close to closing time, I ordered the cheese chanchan, which was really just average. Overall, I had a good impression, but I think I would feel really relieved if I came here in the dead of night or shivering in the middle of winter. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I would like to introduce you to Hiwahi, located at 2-4-6 Imaizumi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. This cafe is housed in a building that is over 70 years old, and it offers a serene atmosphere with a touch of Japanese aesthetics. Enjoying cafe and lunchtime in this tranquil setting is sure to make it a special experience. Indulge in their luxurious lunch and dinner offerings and have a great time!

Fukuoka Gourmet Trip! Introducing the quiet old folk house cafe "Hiyoribi" located near Yakuin Odori in the Tenjin area of Fukuoka. When I went for lunch, it was empty, but a male staff member came out and said, "We are fully booked." It seemed like they had reservations... but captivated by the stylish atmosphere of the old folk house, I made a reservation for an hour later and returned to pass the time. Although there were only a few customers here and there, they may have spaced out the seating due to COVID. I was seated by the window and enjoyed the atmosphere of the old folk house while having sweets instead of lunch. Three-color Warabi Mochi with Amami Kibi Honey (450 yen) - Three colors of Warabi Mochi. The Amami kibi honey, made from sugar cane, generously drizzled over the kinako powder, has a gentle sweetness that perfectly matches the Warabi Mochi. Yame Tea (450 yen) - I prefer warm tea over coffee with sweet Japanese confections... and you can have free refills at this price~ Yame Tea is a famous tea from Fukuoka and has a slight unique taste. It is rich in umami but with a hint of bitterness. However, this slight uniqueness pairs well with sweet treats... If you plan to go, it might be better to make a reservation beforehand? The atmosphere is nice, so be sure to enjoy a quiet cafe time!

It's a cozy old folk house where time seems to stand still. The quiet atmosphere is enhanced by the delicate flowers on the tables. I tried the "Wappa Gozen" for 1800 yen (limited to 10 servings), and it was delicious. I arrived right when they opened as I heard the servings were limited. Many couples were enjoying the peaceful setting. There's a tatami area in the back, which would be great for families with children. The tempura in the wappa was more of a fritter type, I prefer a lighter coating. The colorful side dishes were all well-seasoned, especially the simmered dish was delicious. They also have traditional Japanese sweets, perfect for a relaxing break.

The appearance of the restaurant is like a renovated old folk house, and the atmosphere is really nice! We used the private room at the back. There was a low table (not round) with a remote control placed on it. Oh, so we can adjust the room temperature ourselves. There are course meals and a la carte options, but we chose a la carte. The appetizer was served in a traditional wooden box, which was stylish. We ordered the following dishes: - Cubed steak of beef sagari - Pan-fried white fish - Japanese-style carpaccio of red snapper - Shiitake mushrooms stuffed with meat and deep-fried All of them were decently delicious and nicely presented. However, we couldn't find any carbohydrates on the menu when we wanted to eat some. When we asked the staff, they said, "There is no rice for a la carte dishes." Upon closer inspection of the menu, it seemed like rice was available if you chose a course meal. But, it was a bit surprising for a Japanese restaurant not to have rice... or even noodles. Well, it was our fault for not checking the menu thoroughly. We decided to order a baked cheesecake for dessert, but after waiting for a long time, they told us they were just starting to prepare it. Since we had run out of drinks and were getting impatient, we canceled the order and paid the bill. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the food was decently delicious, but the above points were a bit disappointing. Especially for those who want to eat rice at night, please be aware. The menu of a certain popular chain restaurant includes rice and risotto, so the absence of rice may be temporary.

- Stylish lunch with my senior colleague! - The location is a bit hard to find. - Lots of construction going on nearby. - They have private rooms which is nice! - Lunch course is 2500 yen! - The flavors are subtle, but you can enjoy the true taste of the ingredients ✌️ - Great for couples who want to enjoy a leisurely conversation!

I made a reservation for a private room for lunch on Saturday and visited the restaurant. The atmosphere of the old folk house from the entrance was lovely! The private room was a tatami room with a small raised area that could accommodate 4 people. Other seating options included table seats or a counter. This time, I ordered the Hiyoribi course. The course included: - Assorted appetizers - Sea bream carpaccio - Simmered young chicken and daikon radish - Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) - Cube steak of beef sagari (or pan-fried white fish) - Rice, miso soup - Dessert Some of the assorted appetizers arrived in a magewappa (bent wood) container, which made it look cute ❀.(*´◡`*)❀. The sea bream carpaccio came with a salad, but the wasabi dressing was too strong for me, and it was spicy ( ; ; ) The chawanmushi was served in a small dome-like cute container. The simmered dish, chawanmushi, and miso soup all had a well-balanced broth flavor! The main beef sagari steak was cooked tender and juicy, and the flavor of the meat was richly felt*:.｡.(＊ˆ﹀ˆ＊).｡.:* The dessert featured chestnuts since it was autumn. As it was a cafe in an old folk house, a calm atmosphere prevailed, and I was able to relax!

When it was brought to the table, the meal looked so good that my excitement level went up! The careful presentation and delicious flavors. I definitely want to go back again! ^ ^

A comfortable space with a nice atmosphere.

I went with friends on a regular night! This was my second visit to the restaurant. I had been there once before and really wanted to go back. When you enter the alley in Imaizumi, there is a small old house. The exterior is also lovely! The interior is dimly lit in a nice way, creating a relaxing atmosphere. We had an affordable course menu. The dishes looked elegant and the flavors were all delicious. This time, we also had Japanese sweets as part of the course, which were also exquisite. They also generously pour wine into the glass, which is great! I highly recommend this restaurant and would love to go again!
