Before 7:00 PM on a holiday, I enjoy some time with my golf buddies after playing a round. The course selection is left to the organizer, and we indulge in a variety of fresh seafood dishes prepared in different ways to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients. The highlight of this outing was the sushi that came out towards the end, with each piece seasoned perfectly to complement the individual toppings, making soy sauce unnecessary. It was truly delicious.

Gomosaba, from Kagoshima, is soft, flavorful, and goes well with rice. Enjoy it twice by making ochazuke with it! So delicious! The restaurant has amazing dishes that are both delicious and visually appealing. The roast beef, eggplant somen, fugu, and sushi were all delicious!

This is a perfect place for a business dinner in Fukuoka. The whole building is a traditional Japanese restaurant with excellent interior design and service. The quality of the food is high, and its convenient location makes it easy to go to a second place after dining. It's a great choice for enjoying a meal and conversation with clients. I will definitely use this restaurant again.

We used it for the dinner of the company's training trip. The private room was spacious and nice to use. It was a course meal with a wide variety of dishes, and the fugu sashimi and fugu tempura were very delicious. It's expensive, so I'm thinking of coming again for the company's appreciation party next time.

I went to Terayama-san to eat blowfish. The atmosphere from the entrance to the table is nice and calming. The service is always great without any ups and downs, suitable for business entertainment as well with reasonable prices. Almost all seafood dishes on the menu are delicious, but the blowfish is exceptional. However, due to the COVID-19 situation, it seems they are not sourcing items other than the course meals that were reserved, which is a downside as you cannot order a la carte dishes. I realized that I should have mentioned the dishes I wanted to eat at the time of reservation. I will visit again!

When I visited Fukuoka on a business trip, I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. They offer a variety of dishes such as hot pot, motsunabe, and sukiyaki, so I was looking forward to it. I got off at Hakata Station and took the subway to Nakasu Kawabata Station. The restaurant is located right near exit 2. It's in a building, so I took the elevator to the 5th floor where I was shown to a private room. The spacious room had table seating and acrylic boards on the opposite side for COVID-19 safety measures. As I enjoyed the appetizers and drinks, dishes like fresh sashimi and live squid sashimi were served. The sashimi had a firm texture and strong umami flavor unlike farmed ones I've had before. The squid wasn't as good as the one I had in Yobuko's Kawataro, but it was still delicious. We asked for some of the squid to be served as sashimi and some to be tempura, and the sashimi was definitely the highlight. And then, the hot pot! The plump meat and vegetables were a delight to savor.

I only have lunch on weekends and decided to try this place for the first time. There were only three menu options, and the prices have become a bit more luxurious compared to before. I chose the chef's special lunch set. It arrived promptly and looked very luxurious! I was especially happy to see the soup dish. Every dish was delicious, and I left feeling very satisfied. This place used to be a high-end Japanese restaurant for dinner, and I think this level of quality is perfect for lunch too!

My friend who used to live in Fukuoka recommended a mackerel sushi as a souvenir from a high-class Japanese restaurant in Okayama. I tried it when she ordered it online and loved it. I have been ordering it a few times since then. When I visited Hakata, I found the same restaurant and bought the mackerel sushi as a souvenir again. This time, I discovered that they offer affordable lunch sets. I ordered a seafood bowl with lots of toppings, soba noodles, side dishes, and salmon miso soup. It was delicious. My friend ordered a blowfish skin mentaiko meal, but she found it a bit lacking. She was probably still hungry from eating udon in the evening (laughs). Of course, I bought the mackerel sushi as a souvenir again on my way back.

After work in Hakata, I visited with about 30 colleagues. We had a 14,000 yen course meal in a luxurious private room on the 3rd floor decorated with beautiful furnishings. We started with a toast with beer, followed by a starter of sugar-coated plums. It was a unique taste that I had never experienced before. Next, we had Tessa, beautifully arranged on plates, which we enjoyed with leeks and skin. It was a delightful experience. We also had finsake, fried food, and hot pot served by a waitress in a kimono. Despite being already full, we managed to enjoy the rice porridge at the end. The high-quality service, taste, and overall experience left us satisfied. I would love to come back in winter to try the blowfish.

Gourmet trip part 3. Fukuoka business trip edition. For lunch on this day, we planned to visit a recommended restaurant called "torimabushi," but there was a long line and we might have exceeded our lunch break, so we decided to visit this restaurant instead. According to a colleague working in Fukuoka, this restaurant is also quite popular, so we went in with high expectations. It operates as a high-class Japanese restaurant in the evening and the price exceeds 10,000 yen, but for lunch, they offer three menus for under 1,000 yen: - Seafood bowl - Fugu skin mentaizen - Mentaizen I tried the highly recommended seafood bowl for 940 yen (recently increased from 880 yen). The seafood bowl that came out was filled with plenty of sashimi. You are supposed to pour the special sesame sauce over it before eating. The sesame sauce itself has a sweet flavor, which goes well with the sashimi!! Kyushu's soy sauce is also on the sweeter side, so eating sashimi with a sweet sauce is a unique culture. The freshness of the sashimi is good, and there is a generous amount of it. All this for under 1,000 yen is amazing in terms of cost performance. The miso soup also has a unique flavor, perhaps using a different type of miso from Tokyo, but it is also delicious!! I was able to taste the authentic Hakata cuisine thoroughly. Overall, this lunch where you can casually enjoy the taste of a Kyushu ryotei felt like a great deal. Local people seem to know delicious restaurants well without having to wait in line!!

Seafood bowl for 880 yen. I took a break and had lunch nearby. There was a long line for chicken and egg rice bowl. For solo diners, there is a shared table system. I hesitated between blowfish skin mentaiko and seafood bowl, but went with the seafood bowl because it looked delicious. However, there was no tuna in it... It felt like a typical seafood bowl from Hakata, nothing special. It was just okay. Next time, I'll try the blowfish skin mentaiko.

I visited this restaurant again after it moved because the motsu nabe (tripe hot pot) was really delicious last time. I made a reservation for a private room and ordered the motsu nabe course for 5,400 yen (tax included). The course included appetizers such as shrimp, squid, chumaki (rolled omelette), sawagani (tiny freshwater crab), and roasted pork. There was also sashimi (tuna, sea bream, yellowtail), motsu nabe, and fugu (blowfish) tempura. For dessert, we had motsu nabe with tofu, garlic, leeks, and chili peppers, followed by champon noodles. I felt that the quality of the tripe in the hot pot was not as good as last time, but the soup was delicious. The fugu tempura was also very tasty.

This is my second time having the seafood bowl here. For 880 yen, the amount of toppings is impressive. Each piece was fresh and had a nice texture. The rice, as expected from a Japanese restaurant, was delicious. However, the miso soup seemed to lack flavor. Maybe this place prefers a lighter taste... I will definitely come back again.

"Teradaoka Nakasu Honten" is a long-established traditional Japanese restaurant in Hakata. The tiger blowfish sashimi is beautifully presented with ponzu sauce, and the sashimi is delicious. The water-cooked dish could use a bit more saltiness. The motsu-nabe (tripe hot pot) has a great flavor. Teradaoka's hospitality cuisine offers three types of flavors: "pre-taste," "mid-taste," and "aftertaste." The "pre-taste" is the excitement leading up to eating delicious food and the anticipation while being seated and waiting for the dishes. The "mid-taste" is the joy of visually enjoying the beautifully presented dishes and savoring them with your mouth. The "aftertaste" is the satisfaction and lingering desire to come back and eat at this restaurant again. A restaurant that truly embodies all three flavors is one that is worth visiting and will always have loyal customers, no matter the era.

I used it for lunch on Sunday. It was my first time since it was renovated. In the past, I didn't like the New Year's dishes, but my partner said that the lunch was cheap and delicious, so I decided to try it. The seafood bowl lunch was less than 1000 yen. I forgot the exact price. The delicious miso soup with fish was included, and I thought it was quite cost-effective. There were also dishes like mentaiko rice bowl. The private rooms were clean and very nice! It's okay to bring children, and it seems like it can be used for celebrations as well. The prices go up significantly at night, but if I have the chance, I would like to use it.

I went to the impressive Japanese restaurant Terayama in Nakasu. It's a place for entertaining guests with private rooms and attentive staff. Take the elevator up to your private table and enjoy a variety of Fukuoka's specialty dishes, with a focus on fish. The live squid sashimi was still moving and its patterns were flashing like a light show. I had a great time savoring delicious food and drinks unique to Fukuoka. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

In early autumn of 2018, there is a super long-established traditional Japanese restaurant in Fukuoka called "Ittchan." Although the locations on Watanabe Street and Haruyoshi Bridge have closed, the one in Nakasu is still going strong! It is perfect for large banquet parties, with spacious tatami rooms and tables with chairs for elderly guests. The all-you-can-drink course with a variety of dishes was luxurious and worth the price. They served "live Ara sashimi," which is a type of fish, and "blowfish sashimi" and "blowfish karaage," using high-quality ingredients. It is a traditional high-end banquet place, perfect for special occasions or entertaining guests. Just be careful with the number of guests, as it can get crowded quickly!

Today, I visited Hakata Nakasu from Shimonoseki. It's packed with delicious Hakata cuisine ⭐️ Sashimi ➡️ so fresh and delicious ⭐️ Appetizers ➡️ the shrimp is amazing Other than that, I drank too much and can't remember. Thank you for the meal.

Enjoying a drink in the bustling downtown area of Hakata! As an old man from Hokkaido, when it comes to downtown areas, I think of Susukino. Hakata is in Nakasu, right? By the way, where does Nakasu start and end? I have visited Fukuoka and Hakata quite a few times, but I don't have many memories of going to Nakasu. The restaurant I visited this time is located in Nakasu, but more towards the outskirts rather than the glittering downtown area. It seems to be in a back alley or somewhere in between. The owner seems to be a sumo fan, as there are lots of support goods and information about the Kyushu Basho inside the building. Upon entering the building, we were directed to the reception where we were taken to individual private rooms via an elevator. I had to take off my shoes and sit on a carpeted floor with a table and chairs, which was comfortable. The seating area was a bit cramped, but it was well laid out. We ordered the Fugu and Mizutaki course, which included various dishes like Fugu sashimi, Fugu tempura, Fugu shumai, Mizutaki, and dessert. The meal was not all-you-can-drink, but each drink was charged separately, with a service charge of 10%. Despite the cost, I couldn't resist trying Fugu in Kyushu. The meal started with appetizers, followed by Fugu sashimi, which was delicious. The Fugu tempura was large and satisfying, while the Fugu shumai was flavorful. The Mizutaki was gentle in flavor, and although it didn't fully satisfy me, it was still delicious. We enjoyed the meal with drinks and ended the evening with a warm porridge. Overall, it was a high-end restaurant suitable for business gatherings or special occasions, but a bit pricey for everyday dining. Nevertheless, the concept of serving Kyushu Fugu at this price point worked well, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. After getting pleasantly drunk, I wondered where to go next. Everyone seemed so young... Well, time for me to move on to a different place. Cheers!

Entered the restaurant with work colleagues on a weekday at 7:00 PM. Ordered the fugu course for ¥10,500. Before the course arrived, we also ordered a sashimi platter separately, and the sashimi had a satisfying texture. The course included fugu sashimi, fried fugu, chawanmushi, tetchiri, porridge, and dessert, all served in that order. Each dish was delicious! The fugu sashimi was thick and chewy, while the fried fugu had a good separation of meat, indicating the use of fresh ingredients. The tetchiri was cooked in kelp broth with fugu first, allowing the flavors to blend before adding vegetables. This method enhanced the overall umami of the dish. The porridge made with the remaining soup was naturally delicious. I could feel the strength of this long-established restaurant. As it was a work-related gathering, there are no photos.
