Today, my colleague and I went to "Genkai-an," a place in Tenjin that has been recently talked about for its great value. It was a bit hard to find the restaurant, but we managed to locate it (truly a hidden gem in Tenjin!). The interior of the restaurant is small, just as we had heard. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered the signature dish, miso-flavored motsunabe (tripe hot pot), and also 5 skewers, which are known for being both affordable and delicious. We also ordered some gyoza. First, we tried the skewers. They were indeed satisfying given their price. They were so good that we felt like we could just eat skewers alone. Next, we tried the gyoza, which also had great flavor. And finally, the highlight - the motsunabe. The ingredients included tripe, cabbage, leek, carrots, burdock root, tofu, and garlic. We started by tasting the soup, which had just the right amount of flavor - not too strong or too light. It was incredibly delicious! Then we tried the tripe, and it was truly amazing, just as rumored. The tripe was so tender that it melted in your mouth! The fatty parts were so soft that they seemed to disappear on their own! The portion was generous, and even though we were full after sharing two servings between the two of us, we wanted to order more dishes. We'll definitely come back again! It seems like this restaurant offers two types of hot pots - soy sauce and miso flavors, and you can also try different variations like adding cheese to one. There are so many ways to enjoy motsunabe here. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It's been a while since I visited Hakata. I wandered around Tenjin Shofukakko Street with my companion, without a specific destination in mind. We came across a sign that looked promising, so we decided to check it out. It turned out to be located underground and was a bit dimly lit. At first, we thought it might be closed, but when the lights turned on, we realized it was open and decided to go in. It was a miso offal hotpot, which I tried for the first time, and it was rich and went well with alcohol. The offal was big and chewy, simply the best. The chef was incredibly funny and friendly, and we ended up chatting with him for almost 20 minutes after paying the bill. The food and the chef were both amazing. I would love to come back again to see the friendly chef. The food was delicious, the chef was friendly, and the overall experience was great. The cost-performance ratio was also good. I am very satisfied.

I made a same-day reservation over the phone. The restaurant was like a cozy home, located in a semi-basement. I recommend it when you feel like eating a light motsunabe (offal hotpot). It's delicious and reasonably priced!!

I had never tasted it before, but the soy sauce flavor was delicious. I want to go again.

Beef intestine hot pot, sand-skewered skewers, skin skewers, minced meatball skewers, rose skewers, beef intestine hot pot without any off-flavor, and delicious until the end with Champon.

What do you mean by that? Here, sitting on tatami mats with zabuton cushions, when the motsunabe arrives, it looks like Aladdin coming out of the pot, haha. The atmosphere here seems nice, tucked away in a back alley. When you open the door, there are about 5 or 6 tables on tatami mats. When we entered, there was only one other group, and their eyes were on us. We ordered the motsunabe and a small portion of Hakata-style gyoza. Uh-oh, I saw it. The gyoza was taken out of a commercial frozen bag. After a while, the motsunabe arrived. It contained motsu (offal), cabbage, leeks, carrots, tofu, and shiitake mushrooms, priced at 1150 yen per serving (excluding tax). At first, I thought it might not be enough, but it turned out to be plenty. The motsu was much fresher than horumon (grilled meat offal) from yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurants. The chewy texture seemed to be a hit with everyone. The soup was delicious. I felt like adding noodles to it. There were only two men managing the place, serving around 20 customers. They were taking orders, cooking, and serving dishes all by themselves. And since the seating was on tatami mats, they had to kneel each time. I think hiring one more part-timer to help with the tables could increase efficiency, but it might affect the speed of serving dishes. Despite being busy, they even took a photo for us! Customers kept coming in one after another!

I noticed a new restaurant had opened up in the place where I used to frequent for drinks! What stood out to me was their motsunabe, which was different from others because it included root vegetables like carrots and plenty of ground sesame seeds, making it quite healthy. I never thought that motsunabe soup would go so well with carrots. Every time I visit, I am seated in a semi-private area near the front, with slightly lower tables that require sitting cross-legged or in seiza to eat the motsunabe, which can be a bit tough (laughs). If only they had sunken kotatsu tables, then it would be perfect. Despite the table issue, the staff are quick to respond when called, the restroom is clean, and I have been back multiple times.

A hidden gem for lunch in Oyafukou Street. "Genkai-an" is located just a short walk from "Nasuki". Descend into the half-basement of the building to find "Genkai-an". Despite the name suggesting seafood, it is actually a restaurant specializing in motsunabe (offal hot pot). However, the recommended option is their one-coin lunch. You can help yourself to salad, miso soup, and pickles. It's a great deal. While munching on vegetables, you wait for your order. And here comes the yakitori rice bowl! It's amazing! Typically, a yakitori rice bowl consists of skewered grilled chicken, but this one features chicken steak. The sweet and savory sauce is delicious, and the cabbage and seaweed are a nice addition. The portion size is also generous. All of this for only 500 yen is definitely a great deal. - Restaurant Information: Genkai-an Phone: 092-735-2074 Address: B1F, Obelisk Tenjin, 1-8-2 Maizuru, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka Hours: 11:00-14:30, 18:00-24:00 Closed for lunch on weekends and holidays, closed on Mondays for dinner.

Today, I will introduce the lunch at Hakata motsunabe Genkai-an. The location is on Otamukou Street, turn left at the corner where there is Trial and Bibinba Naizuki. Then, immediately turn right and you will see a narrow road with plenty of parking spaces, on the right hand side of the road where Ramen Shomaru is located. Inside the restaurant, there are raised tatami seating areas from the entrance. During lunchtime, it is run by one person and the interior is somewhat small, so it tends to be full during lunch. Lunch Menu: The lunch menu consists of only Yakitori Don for 500 yen. You can add double meat for an additional 100 yen, and rice can be served in a larger portion for free. Self-service salad and miso soup are all-you-can-eat. Yakitori Don 500 yen They use Sakurajima chicken for the chicken meat. The meat is firm and has a good taste with the slightly sweet sauce. The rice was surprisingly hot, making it a bit difficult to eat, but the chicken was delicious and I finished it quickly. The person I was with ordered the double meat option. Yakitori Don Double Meat 600 yen Indeed, the meat is doubled here. For those who want to eat heartily, this is a great deal. With this taste and portion, the 500 yen lunch is very cost-effective. Please stop by if you are nearby.

I went to a specialty restaurant for Wagyu beef tripe hot pot called "Genkai-an" located behind the Korean restaurant "Naizuki" on Ofukou Street, where they recently started offering lunch. The lunch menu consists of only a grilled chicken bowl with Kagoshima Sakurajima chicken for 500 yen. You can choose to have extra rice for free or double the amount of chicken for an additional 100 yen. The meal comes with a self-service salad with two dressing options: sesame and plum dressing. The miso soup with tofu comes with toppings of seaweed and green onions. Water and pickles are also provided on the table. The grilled chicken bowl is served with cabbage lining the rice, topped with Sakurajima chicken and shredded seaweed. The Sakurajima chicken, which is also used at "Kushidokoro Kagura" in Maizuru, has low fat content and pairs well with the sweet and savory sauce. Scooping up the rice, cabbage, and chicken together with a spoon creates a delicious combination of flavors that make the meal enjoyable. For those who want a hearty meal, adding extra rice and double the chicken, and generously drizzling mayonnaise on top can make the dish even more delicious.

Today, I visited "Genkai-an" in Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. It's about a 5-minute walk from Tenjin subway station. The restaurant is a bit hard to find as it's located in a back alley. The menu includes black wagyu motsunabe for 1000 yen, skewers for 100 yen, and gyoza for 450 yen. The motsunabe comes in two types so you can enjoy two different flavors at the same time. Today, I tried motsunabe miso flavor, pork belly, thigh, skin, shiitake mushrooms, beef sagari, and beef tendon stew. Every dish had a taste that was beyond its price, which was surprising. The motsunabe, priced at 1000 yen, was of the highest quality, with tender and juicy meats. You might think the portion of motsu would be small at that price, but that's not the case. The skewers start from 100 yen, but the taste is far from what you'd expect for that price. In terms of cost performance, it feels like the highest quality. The only downside is that the restaurant is small, but I would definitely want to visit again when I come back to Fukuoka. It's a shame that the restaurant is hard to find. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Today I went on a business trip to Fukuoka. For dinner, I decided to try the local specialty, motsunabe (tripe hot pot). I asked the staff at the client's office for recommendations, and they suggested a place called "Genkai-an" known for its affordable and delicious motsunabe. The restaurant was a bit hard to find, but I eventually made it inside. The interior was cozy but a bit small. I ordered the motsunabe with miso flavor at a very reasonable price of 1000 yen per serving. The taste was unbelievably good! The tripe was incredibly tender and the skin was soft. The soup was also delicious! In addition to the motsunabe, I also ordered some grilled skewers and gyoza, which were all fantastic in taste and surprisingly affordable. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Recently, I have been obsessed with motsunabe. I tried a few motsunabe restaurants near my workplace, and here is my review of one of them: First restaurant: Genkai-an Location: B1F Obelisk Tenjin, 1-8-2 Maizuru, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture Price: 4,000 yen for a girls' night out course Menu: - Edamame - Simmered beef tendon - Assorted sashimi - Hakata-style dumplings - Nutritious salad - Black Wagyu motsunabe - Champon noodles for dessert - All-you-can-eat ice cream - All-you-can-drink Overall, the taste and variety were not as good as I expected compared to my previous experience. However, the all-you-can-eat ice cream was a nice touch. The service was average, and the atmosphere was okay, although the seating was a bit cramped. The price was reasonable for a 3-hour all-you-can-drink course. I may not come back to this restaurant in the future.

Today, I decided to have motsunabe (tripe hot pot) at Genkai-an in Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. Genkai-an is located on a backstreet without a prominent sign, making it a bit hard to find, but I managed to locate the restaurant and entered. The interior of the restaurant consists entirely of seating. I sat down and promptly ordered the miso-flavored motsunabe, priced at 1000 yen per serving, ordering two servings. I also ordered some skewers. It seems that this restaurant does not provide appetizers, which was fine with me as I was looking to keep costs down. Soon, the skewers arrived. I ordered pork belly for 100 yen, chicken skin for 100 yen, and beef sagari for 200 yen, and all of them were surprisingly delicious given their prices. Then came the motsunabe. I tried the tripe right away, and it was delicious! It was tender and had a creamy taste. I was amazed by the taste, considering it only cost 1000 yen. Plus, the portion was generous! I wanted to finish with champon noodles, but I was too full to order them. Overall, I had a great experience. Thank you for the meal!

I found a restaurant that specializes in motsunabe! They offer a unique motsunabe experience where you can enjoy it with miso or soy sauce, and even sukiyaki. They have a variety of courses available, making it perfect for parties or girls' night out. Using fresh ingredients, the restaurant offers a reasonable price for a delightful dining experience. They also have a selection of drinks and desserts, and the spacious interior is perfect for relaxing and enjoying your meal. I highly recommend giving it a try!

The other day, a friend recommended me to go to Genkai-an, a restaurant that is cheap and good. It specializes in motsunabe (offal hot pot), so I ordered motsunabe. Despite the price being only 1000 yen per serving, I didn't have high expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste, soup, and portion of the motsu. The motsu meat was delicious, and although I wanted to add more, one serving was actually quite filling. I left the restaurant satisfied after finishing just one serving. They also offer yakitori (grilled skewers), so I look forward to trying that next time. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

I went on a trip to Fukuoka with my girlfriend and decided to have the famous Hakata specialty, motsunabe, for dinner. As we were walking, we received a flyer for Genkai-an and decided to go there. The restaurant was small but clean, so it didn't bother us. We ordered two servings of motsunabe with soy sauce flavor and a plate of gyoza. The gyoza arrived a bit late, but soon after, the motsunabe was served. I tried the soup first and was pleasantly surprised by the taste. It was really good! The motsu was also delicious and very tender. We ended up eating two servings between the two of us, along with the gyoza, and were completely full. The portions were quite generous for the price. We left feeling happy and satisfied, having enjoyed delicious motsunabe at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Genkai-an.

It's a cold night, so I walked 10 meters from my home to the "Genkai-an" restaurant, which specializes in motsunabe (offal hot pot). In addition to motsunabe, they also have a variety of skewers. We started with shiitake mushrooms and cartilage as appetizers. Then we got some free gyoza with a coupon, which was really tasty. For the main dish, we had the motsunabe which was full of vegetables and delicious. Since my wife wasn't feeling well and I had to limit my alcohol intake, the total bill for the two of us was only 2700 yen. It's quite affordable.
