I used it for a drinking party with old friends. The restaurant was lively and almost full inside, so this time we used the outdoor seating. The menu mainly consists of grilled chicken skewers, but they also have a variety of Fukuoka specialties like sesame mackerel. Every dish was excellent. Both the grilled chicken skewers and sesame mackerel were very delicious. The staff were also very attentive. I think it's a wonderful restaurant.

A high-quality place where you can enjoy daytime drinking. I have never been to the main store of Teheno, but now I want to go there too. The staff are friendly, and I had a fun time chatting while enjoying alcohol and protein. Definitely a place I want to visit again.

Recently, I encountered a middle-aged woman at the sports club who shared her concern with me: "I love yakitori, but it's only available at night and it's a bit noisy." I decided to solve her problem by taking her to a place I had my eye on for a while - "Yakitori Cafe". This place serves yakitori starting from lunchtime, so you can enjoy it during the day. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating options, and since the weather was nice, we chose to sit indoors where the air conditioning was working well. The seating options include a counter with high cafe-style chairs, regular tables, and even semi-private booths with cushion-like seats. There was also a family with young children in one of the private booths, so it seems like a kid-friendly place. They serve a refreshing cabbage pickled appetizer that you can refill. It was better than the usual raw cabbage. The highlight for us was the 1-hour all-you-can-drink option for 1100 yen, and for non-alcohol drinkers, there was a soft drink all-you-can-drink option for 500 yen. We each ordered the assorted yakitori set of 10 skewers for 1980 yen. The yakitori was served in pairs, and the pacing was just right. The drink options included draft beer, grapefruit highball, orange highball, and tomato shochu. We enjoyed drinking and eating to our heart's content. Splitting the bill was easy and transparent. The woman was very happy that her concern was resolved, and she is still talking about how much she enjoyed the experience over a month later. Overall, it exceeded our expectations and was a great dining experience for everyone.

I went to a yakitori cafe called "Yakitori Kisaten" because the main store was still closed. They have a great lunchtime all-you-can-drink menu with a variety of options at a good price. I had 5 drinks in one hour. The yakitori was delicious, and I think they used Saga beef. The meat tofu was also very tasty. The green pepper with meat miso dish was a hit. I was very satisfied.

◉Genre: Yakitori, Izakaya ◉Area: Daimyo area, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City ◉Access: About 5 minutes walk from Akasaka subway station ◉Parking: Not available (coin parking nearby) ◉Credit card payment: Not available ◉Number of visits: First visit ◉Number of reviews: 1st review On this day, I decided to visit the "Yakitori Kissaten Daimyo Hete" in Fukuoka. ◇Exterior and Interior This yakitori restaurant is located in the Daimyo area of Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. It is the third branch of the relatively well-known "Hete" in Fukuoka. It is located on the ground floor of a commercial building facing the main street in Daimyo. The interior of the restaurant is lively and bustling, with background music playing. It is a small space but full of energy, suitable for daytime drinking as well as evening enjoyment. ◇Seating There are 6 counter seats, 3 tables for 4 people, and a private room with a round table at the back. There is also outdoor terrace seating available. ◇Menu Only regular menu available, with special recommendations displayed on paper. The regular menu mainly consists of yakitori, horse sashimi, sesame mackerel, local specialties, fried dishes, side dishes, and quick order items. Noteworthy is the all-you-can-drink option for 1,100 yen per hour starting from daytime! The items I ordered were: - Mackerel with coriander namero (500 yen) The mackerel namero with coriander was a unique dish that turned out to be surprisingly delicious. The freshness of the mackerel was excellent, and the miso flavor was strong, complementing the coriander well. It was well thought out and executed, although I would have preferred the coriander to be chopped a bit more. Overall, it was a satisfying dish. ◆Strong Points Enjoying delicious yakitori during the daytime. ◆Service Average. ◆Summary This was the second stop on my Fukuoka food crawl. Despite some hiccups at the first stop, I managed to enjoy my time at this restaurant. The concept of an all-you-can-drink option during the daytime is quite innovative. The yakitori was above average, with the chicken tenderloin being a standout. The pricing was reasonable, and overall, it was a good dining experience. I was surprised to find a branch of the same restaurant so close by, but it seems like they are conquering the Daimyo area. Next time, I will try the restaurant across the street. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I found myself struggling to find a lunch spot again. I decided to enter this restaurant that was open as I passed by. They were taking precautions such as temperature checks and using partition boards inside. The restaurant had counter seats, simple table seats, and also offered outdoor seating. It wasn't a standing bar, as chairs were provided. The place was quite lively, with mostly young people, many of whom seemed to be enjoying the all-you-can-drink option for 1,100 yen per hour, even during lunchtime. The lunch menu consisted of a "Yakitori Plate" and a "Yakitori Burger with Grilled Onigiri." They also offered other items like grilled fatty tuna and various side dishes from their regular menu. I felt like ordering a soft drink since I was working, but somehow ended up saying, "I'll have a Heartland beer (450 yen)." It just slipped out. I enjoyed it while making excuses that it was light and a good alternative to water. The "Yakitori Salad Plate" included 4 types of yakitori, 3 kinds of baguette, and plenty of spinach. The yakitori choices were "thigh meat," "tsukune," "quail egg," and "pork belly." I liked the thigh meat and tsukune the best. The "3 types of pate" - potato salad, liver pate, and cheese tofu - were perfect as beer snacks. I only had the pate without finishing all the bread since it was too much. The salad had plenty of spinach, and although you could choose the dressing as listed on the menu, I was told to have it with "olive oil" and "salt." I only had half to avoid turning into Popeye. This meal seemed more like a "lunch" than a "casual drink," but it was a good match for beer.笑

I went around 6:00 pm and it was quite crowded, so I was seated on the terrace as it was the only available space. The terrace was a bit cold, but they had heating devices and blankets, so as long as you didn't dress too lightly, it wasn't a problem. The timing of taking the first order after being seated was very good. There was also a bell on the table, which made it easy to order. The menu seemed a bit limited, probably due to the season, but after ordering some dishes and asking for recommendations, I ordered the pate as recommended. All the dishes were delicious and went well with the alcohol. The drinks kept flowing. I will definitely go back! Ordered items: Spasala, Potasala, Horse meat assortment, Paripi, Meat bowl, Pate *Note: The dish names are not exact translations.

The horse sashimi was delicious. The yakitori was average and a bit small for the price. I also tried the chiffon cake from their affiliated store, but it was so-so. It wasn't crowded, but the service was a bit slow. They serve yakitori from lunchtime, and smoking is allowed on the terrace.

I made a reservation for 4:30 pm on Saturday and went there. It was quite crowded, maybe because it was open since lunch. There seemed to be more lively atmosphere compared to my previous visit. The pork belly here is really delicious. The white liver was moist and creamy, and the sake selection was easy with detailed descriptions. The glass was small, but they poured generously into the saucer. Delicious sake and yakitori, it was the best! However, there were more people and it felt a bit chaotic compared to my last visit. The background music was loud, but the atmosphere was not as comfortable as before. Popular places are better visited on weekdays. Nevertheless, the skewers were consistently delicious. Thank you for the meal!

This time we went to Hete-san in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, 1-3-32 La Corte Daimyo 1F. It was for a second party. I was heading to Hete Honten by chance, but then I found a bar-like restaurant! It turned out to be Hete-san, located across from the main store. The small interior has a high counter and table seats. The food menu is fun. We started with a toast of draft beer. The appetizer was vegetable sticks and beef tendon miso. The miso alone was a great snack. We ordered the Pate sandwich for 250 yen. The crispy sandwich with pate and pink pepper accents was great! We also had a skewer set of black Satsuma chicken for 1300 yen, which included thigh, breast with green onion, chicken skin, gizzard, and heart skewers. The skewers were beautifully arranged, and the seasoning was perfect. The breast meat was cooked medium rare. The gizzard and heart were also fresh. The beautiful fried sardine with homemade tartar sauce and plum salt was delicious. The specialty, simmered meat and tofu, for 650 yen had two generous slices of Saga beef loin. This was a great value. We had another round of drinks with fresh lemon shochu highball for 500 yen. The cute round glasses added to the enjoyment. Next time, we plan to enjoy even more during the first party. Thank you for the meal.

This is the third branch of a popular yakitori restaurant in the area! While looking for a place for a second round, my friend mentioned they had never been to Hetasan before. We stumbled upon a glass-fronted, bar-like establishment and upon peeking inside, a staff member came out and informed us that this was a sister restaurant of Hetasan! The atmosphere was great so we decided to enter. Inside, there was a counter on the right side and a few tables on the left. There was also a raised seating area at the back. The restaurant was bright and the menu was posted all over the counter. We had some vegetable sticks and beef tendon miso as a complimentary starter. The simmered meat and tofu dish was delicious with two slices of tender Saga beef loin in a rich sauce – great value for money! The pate sandwich and the five types of black Satsuma chicken (thigh with leek, breast, chicken skin with salt, sand liver, heart) were all cooked perfectly with a nice texture. The beautiful fried sardine was also a hit. Overall, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. There are still many dishes I want to try. The sake menu had a chart-like distribution of flavors, making it fun to choose. This is a place where you can really enjoy yourself for a first round. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal!

I was directed to a seat at a sister restaurant because the main store was full. Everything from the appetizers to the drinks and dishes was stylish and delicious! I didn't go to izakayas often in Fukuoka, but as expected of Kyushu, the taste of the chicken was exceptional. They had a wide selection of local sake and I was able to choose various options to pair with my meal. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and came to chat with us a lot, from explaining the dishes to local talk. It was really fun! I'll definitely go back to see the staff again.

Today, I went to eat yakitori at Hete, but it was full... The staff guided me to this other shop. It was the third branch, I didn't know that. When I ordered a beer, they asked me about the size of the glass, and I didn't want it to get warm, so I chose the regular size, which was good for quickly finishing the first drink. It seemed like a good deal. Since it was Setsubun that day, we received a complimentary Ehomaki in addition to the appetizer. They even told us the lucky direction (it was in front of the counter, reassuring). The Ehomaki was delicious. We ordered various dishes, and they were all wonderful. The yakitori was as delicious as always, and the staff's service was great. They recommended the shirako, and it was creamy, large, and amazing. We didn't drink much, but is it okay to spend a little over 7000 yen for two people? Is that really okay? I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Based on a friend's recommendation, I visited this place in the Daimyo area near Akasaka. It's better not to drive here because there are few parking spots (lol). The staff is friendly and welcoming. The chicken skewers made from Kagoshima's black Satsuma chicken were delicious. The sashimi platter of the same chicken was also excellent. The thickly sliced horse sashimi was tasty and flavorful. The Saga beef tofu could use a bit less sweetness. They offer a variety of unique Japanese sake, which is great for sake lovers.

It's not a standing bar, but I went to "Daimaite" for a drink in the area near Oyakata in Daimyo. The place has chairs, so it's not a standing bar as tagged on Tabelog. The draft beer is 450 yen + tax, but the glass is a bit small. They serve stick vegetables and suji-niku miso as a complimentary appetizer, and you can ask for refills. The suji-niku miso has a stronger presence than the miso, and it's enough to enjoy with drinks. The crab miso for 480 yen + tax is also a good choice. The meat tofu, the most prominently displayed item on the menu, is a bit pricey at 650 yen + tax, but it's worth it. It looks different from the meat tofu you would find in Tokyo's downtown area, with tofu, egg yolk, and tender meat in a rich sauce. For drinks, I had a highball and a tomato shochu highball, which was more like a tomato liqueur. It was a great drinking experience. Thank you for the meal.

I also had udon noodles, and now I'm feeling a bit tipsy and unsteady on my feet, but I'm heading to the next restaurant I want to visit. - Kuro Kirishima (shochu) for 350 yen: When you think of Kyushu, you think of shochu, but they also make sake in the northern region. Nevertheless, I tried the sweet potato shochu. It was reasonably priced and had a good taste. - Appetizer: Vegetable sticks with miso and beef tendon for dipping. This appetizer is amazing. The miso for dipping the vegetable sticks is the best snack. The beef tendon is large, so it's enough to enjoy with the shochu. - Akami Basashi (horse meat sashimi) for 900 yen: This was the reason I came to this restaurant. Although horse meat sashimi is famous in Kumamoto, I found it here in Kyushu. I love red horse meat sashimi. Ideally, I'd like to eat it wrapped in white rice. Topped with garlic and green onions, it was heavenly. And it's from Kurume! - Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings for 200 yen: The seasoning on these chicken wings is delicious. The quail eggs on the side are amazing. Is this price for real? The total bill came to 1920 yen. If this place was in my neighborhood, I'd want to come here at least once a month! It's that kind of place. The appetizer costs 470 yen excluding tax or 380 yen including tax. Even with the appetizer, it's a place worth visiting.

I went to this shop near Minori! It is part of the same chain as a nearby shop, and it is the newest one! The seats were almost all taken, but they managed to find a table for me just in time! The most popular dish here seems to be the motsu-nikomi, which is simmered offal skewers in red miso and white miso. I ordered both the red and white miso versions, and personally, I preferred the white miso one because it was lighter yet still full of flavor and delicious! They also have horse sashimi and a variety of other dishes, so you can enjoy light or hearty meals here! The menu is extensive, offering a lot of choices, but I highly recommend the motsu-nikomi skewers! I had a great time drinking here, but I reached my limit at this shop! Thank you for the meal!

When I went on a business trip to Fukuoka, I asked my friend to recommend horse meat, and they took me to "Nabemono and Akami Basashi Daimyo Hete." It was a popular restaurant and almost full when we entered. It was a good thing we made a reservation. We tried various dishes, but the "Akami Basashi" and "Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings" were particularly delicious. The chicken wings were so tasty and affordable that I wanted to eat more! The staff were also friendly and funny, even joining in a photo with us (laughs).

Having a daytime drinking session with my family from 12 pm. We started with a 1-hour all-you-can-drink deal for 1,100 yen, with a great variety of options. We ordered the sesame mackerel and the assorted platter. The sesame mackerel was chewy and went well with the alcohol! It's rare to find mackerel like this. The assorted platter was wrapped in seaweed and shared among the family. The grilled chicken skewers were heavenly, with the skin releasing a burst of flavorful oil when you bite into it (the meat itself was light). It's a bit pricey, but once you taste it, you can't complain. Highly recommended!

There was a lot of sake! Highly recommended, it was refreshing and delicious! The simmered dish was also fantastic, so tender and tasty! The staff was also lovely and provided great service!
