There are many motsunabe restaurants in Hakata, but I really like this one. The interior is spacious and luxurious, with plenty of private box seats for a relaxing dining experience. Despite the low number of customers due to the pandemic, today seems to be busy with almost full seating at 6 pm. I usually have the soy sauce flavor, but today I tried the miso flavor and it was also delicious. While champon is a classic choice for the end, I prefer zosui. Zosui made with motsu broth is the best. I think zosui is definitely delicious. Sorry to the champon fans. It seems that they charge for otoshi (table charge) when you visit at night, which I dislike.

Located in the 2nd floor of Hotel To, right in front of the Chikushi exit of Hakata Station in Fukuoka City, Hakata Ward, Fukuoka Prefecture, this specialty restaurant offers motsunabe (offal hot pot). The restaurant is elegantly decorated with chandeliers and a luxurious atmosphere, different from other locations of the same chain. I was lucky to secure a reservation for the popular Yamakasa course, which includes motsunabe, Kumamoto horse sashimi, and tender vinegar motsu. The ambiance was spacious and comfortable, with various seating options including private rooms. The meal started with a Shirasu salad, kimchi, and tender vinegar motsu, followed by a delicious assortment of Kumamoto horse sashimi. The highlight was the motsunabe, with a rich miso broth and high-quality offal that was tender and flavorful. The meal ended with champon noodles, which were satisfying. The restaurant also served an original Kyushu soy sauce ice cream, which was surprisingly delicious. Overall, the luxurious atmosphere, attentive service, and delicious motsunabe course made for a memorable dining experience.

【Good】- The inside of the store is clean. It's just right to eat slowly in front of Hakata Station. If it's a course meal, the staff will bring it to you at the right timing without you having to call them. 【Bad】- If I had to mention something, sometimes I feel that they are slow to clean up after other customers have left.

Located on the 2nd floor near Tsukushi Station, this hotel has a great location just 1 minute from the station. The interior is clean and spacious with a luxurious feel, complete with chandeliers. The motsunabe course comes with all-you-can-drink for 4600 yen. When our group of 4 visited, they kindly divided the motsunabe into two portions each with soy sauce and miso flavors. The young and cute female staff left a good impression. The taste of the motsunabe was average, but overall, it is a good place to enjoy a smart evening in Hakata.

The atmosphere inside the hotel was very nice. I had miso-flavored motsunabe which was very delicious. There was also a space for groups, and it was lively with students. If you register with LINE, you will receive a complimentary soy sauce flavored ice cream.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant is really nice! The food is delicious and they serve quite a filling portion. I tried to make a reservation at the Hakata Station branch through Tabelog, but it was fully booked. They suggested a different time, but I ended up booking directly through the official website at the Tokyu Hotel, and it was a good decision!

I was looking for a restaurant near Hakata Station where I could have motsunabe for lunch, and I found this place! The restaurant was very spacious. Even though it was past 1 pm when I entered, there were many customers! The atmosphere of the restaurant was calm and I could feel a sense of cleanliness! I ordered the lunch course, and the motsunabe as well as the appetizers were all delicious! The appetizers were so good that I wanted to have seconds of everything! I definitely want to visit again next time, maybe for dinner!

The place is quite spacious and dining alone is not a problem. I have had motsunabe before, but this one was delicious. I plan to eat at this restaurant in Tokyo as well. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. There were many foreign customers, but it was not an issue.

After enjoying a drink, take a few minutes to walk. Take the escalator at the Miyako Hotel to the 2nd floor and head towards the back. For the second stop, I recommend trying motsunabe here, especially if you're dining at Ooyama. The interior is beautiful and the atmosphere is nice, allowing you to spend a relaxing time. The sofa seat by the window that we were shown to had a pleasant sunlight coming in. The motsunabe we had, with soy sauce flavor like last time, was elegant, light, and delicious with a hint of garlic. The sunlight shining in made the motsunabe look even more appealing! As for the finishing touch, I prefer champon. Although I am a typical Fukuoka local, we also ordered mentaiko and horse sashimi like tourists. This time we ordered dishes separately, but I would like to come back again as I had a good impression when I had the set meal for lunch before. Thank you for the meal.

I had to stay an extra night in Hakata due to the snow, so I was thinking about where to go for dinner. Considering the day of the week and my own comfort, I chose this place. It's located on the 2nd floor of the Miyako Hotel, and the table layout is spacious with cozy booth seating, making it easier for me to dine comfortably. I also chose this place because there were available seats. Although I originally wanted to go to a place with more a la carte dishes, I ended up here. It turned out to be a great decision. You can only order the motsu nabe (tripe hot pot) for two people or more, and the variety of a la carte dishes is limited, but the seating was comfortable and private, allowing us to enjoy our meal despite the crowd. The pot for the motsu nabe was different from other Ooyama restaurants, being thicker and more luxurious. The young staff members were all friendly and provided good service. The dishes we had that day included vinegar motsu, which was refreshing and not gamey, and beef tendon simmered in a sweet and hearty sauce. The edamame served as an appetizer, and the motsu nabe for two was beautifully presented with burdock and a strong garlic flavor. We also had beers and shochu to accompany our meal.

I visited the motsunabe restaurant Ooyama in the Chikushi entrance of Hakata Station's Miyako Hotel. Being inside the hotel, the atmosphere is a bit different. This time, I chose the Dontaku course and started with a beer. The appetizer was edamame. Then, I had a Japanese-style salad with boiled whitebait, seaweed, and watercress, as well as kimchi. The soft beef motsunabe was ready to eat. The soup was rich and delicious. For the finale, I had champon noodles. I drank a lot of soup, so I got thirsty later. As always, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The taste became normal. I wish it had a more impactful flavor. The restaurant is spacious, with over 100 seats easily. Located on the 2nd floor of the Miyako Hotel near Hakata Station. The horse sashimi was not bad, but nothing special. The motsu (offal) was mediocre... it was tough and hard to swallow. It would have been better if it was mixed like in Rakutenchi, but it only had the tough parts, so personally, it was not to my liking.

I made a reservation for the YamaKasa course at a motsunabe specialty restaurant near Hakata Station Chikushi Exit at 7:00 pm. Since it was New Year's Day and many other restaurants were closed, there was a long line outside. The course came with horse sashimi and vinegar motsu. The horse sashimi was delicious, lean, and without unnecessary fat. The motsunabe, of course, was amazing, with a rich miso flavor. It was a bit heavy, but my companion and I finished it all in no time! I would love to visit again when I'm in Hakata. #Yupigurume #HakataGourmet #HakataMotsunabeOoyama

I stayed at a hotel and tried to make a last-minute reservation online from 12:00, but couldn't. However, when I went inside the restaurant, they welcomed me warmly. The place was beautiful and spacious, with comfortable seating and a cool atmosphere. The staff, including the manager, were very friendly and made me feel at home. I started with a strawberry sour, which had a unique jam-like flavor and was delicious. I ordered the beef tripe hot pot in soy sauce flavor, which was popular. The sweetness of the beef tripe and vegetables melted together and tasted really good. The beef tripe was tender and tasty. The restaurant was not crowded at all, making it a great hidden gem for daytime gatherings with friends. I had a great experience at Ooyama and will definitely come back again.

When I come to Hakata, I always crave motsunabe. There are many shops, but since it was Saturday, everywhere was fully booked. The only place available was a restaurant in the new To Hotel by the national chain Ooyama. It's a nationwide chain, so in a way, it's reassuring! The interior is very stylish and seems suitable for business meetings or important meals. However, the staff's voices were a bit loud and energetic, which was a bit overwhelming. I wish they would adjust the volume a bit to match the atmosphere of the restaurant. Sorry for the selfish opinion. I ordered: - Yamakasa course for 3,900 yen including tax - All-you-can-drink (I can't remember the price, but if you drink 3 glasses, they recommend the all-you-can-drink option, so it wasn't that expensive.) In no particular order, the dishes included: - Anchovy and watercress salad: The anchovies were plump and flavorful with the right amount of salt, paired perfectly with the watercress and Japanese-style dressing. - Kimchi: Surprisingly spicy, but tasty with a good amount of garlic flavor. - Beef motsu: Soft and tender! This is exquisite. Goes well with beer, and the yuzu pepper enhances the umami. - Horse sashimi: No gaminess, just the right amount of fat, and the texture is perfect. It's been a while, but it's still delicious. - Motsunabe: I was recommended the miso flavor, and I tried it. Honestly, I was already full by this point, but motsunabe is truly the king of kings. The miso adds richness, and the motsu is flavorful. In the end, I ended up finishing with champon, even though my stomach was full. I thought about ordering dessert for a palate cleanser, but I was too full to order more. So, I finished my meal here. It was a dinner of drinking and eating! Thank you for the meal.

I used it for dinner during a business trip to Hakata. I had the motsunabe course. Before the motsunabe, salad, pork shabu-shabu, horse sashimi, and roast beef appeared. Finally, motsunabe arrived. It was full of ingredients like motsu, leeks, and tofu. We finished with ramen and were very full. The motsunabe was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the newly renovated Ooyama restaurant at the Miyako Hotel. The outside of the hotel has a few shops, and the restaurant is located on the second floor. The interior is luxurious and stylish, not your typical hot pot restaurant. It is clean and has a modern feel. I tried the miso flavor, which was recommended by the staff. I have tried various hot pot restaurants before, but I always prefer miso flavor. They also offer individual hot pots, which is convenient for solo diners. The broth was a bit salty but had a strong garlic flavor, which I enjoyed. The only downside was that the appetizer was just pickles. They accept various electronic payment methods, which was convenient.

There is a restaurant in the "Hotel To Hakata" at Hakata Station, Chikushi Exit. It was a family birthday celebration, so we chose this place for a slightly stylish atmosphere and a private room. The interior of the restaurant is a modern Japanese space. It was bustling with people on Friday, probably because of that. The private room was spacious and calm, so we were glad we chose it. ★Our order included: ・Motsunabe (tripe hot pot) miso flavor x3 - 1,595 yen each ・Assorted horse sashimi - 2,178 yen ・Draft beer (Suntory Kaoru Ale) x3 - 649 yen each ・Senorio de Orgaz red wine (medium-bodied) - 2,750 yen ・Seating charge x3 - 319 yen each ・Seasonal sherbet (complimentary with coupon) We toasted with beer! Edamame was provided as a seating charge. Each person had their own plate, which was convenient. The assorted horse sashimi included fatty tuna, lean horse meat, and mane meat. We were instructed to eat the lean meat and mane meat together, and it was delicious. The onions were crispy, and we were quite satisfied before the main dish, motsunabe. The motsunabe was miso-flavored, a blend of Kyushu miso and Saikyo miso. The soup was rich but not too heavy, and very tasty. The tripe was high-quality domestic beef, tender and a good size to eat. We ordered three portions, but it was more than we expected, and we couldn't even have champon or zosui as a finishing dish. (We were joking about whether we should order another portion or maybe four portions, but the amount was more than enough for the number of people. Haha) We had a great time chatting and even opened a bottle of wine. By the way, you can bring your own cake as they allow it, so we had pre-arranged to leave a cake at the restaurant. We recommend booking a private room for special occasions.

(2021.11.07) I went to have lunch near Hakata Station and decided to visit "Hakata motsunabe Ooyama," a popular local restaurant with five locations around the station. Despite its prime location just across the street from Hakata Station, the area seemed quiet on weekends, possibly due to being in an office district. The large restaurant, likely seating over 100 people, had only a few other customers, resulting in limited service staff and somewhat lacking service. I chose the "Ooyama set meal," which included two appetizers, beef motsu, motsunabe, and champon as the finishing dish. The appetizers were pickled Chinese cabbage and yuzu radish, which dampened my excitement a bit. However, the beef motsu was flavorful with a good aroma, a nice texture, and remained delicious with the ponzu sauce. For the motsunabe, the restaurant's recommendation was miso flavor, but I prefer soy sauce, so I chose that without hesitation. The small pot was filled with plenty of cabbage, which I patiently cooked until it softened and released its sweetness into the soup, signaling it was time to enjoy. The chewy hormone pieces were satisfying, and the champon as the final dish was also delicious.

This shop can be found in various places, but this time we came here! The seats are spacious and comfortable! We ordered the Ooyama course! The dishes in the course were delicious, especially the Napa cabbage kimchi which was slightly spicy and well-aged! The Hakata Wagyu cold roast was a healthy red meat dish with green onions and sauce that was delicious! The Kumamoto direct delivery horse sashimi was amazing. They must have a good way of thawing and storing it!

Yama-naka-san and Ooyama-san, as well as many others, always had a concern about the sukiyaki-style dish. But just before ordering, miso or soy sauce... when hungry, I prefer something rich. This time, I finally fulfilled my wish, or should I say, ordered the sukiyaki-style dish! What was brought to me was a refined appearance with a Kyoto-like aroma. Inside the light-colored broth were various ingredients like offal and vegetables. Since it's sukiyaki-style, I enjoyed it with special ponzu sauce. Wow! This is really delicious! I never imagined enjoying offal with ponzu sauce. It's light and allows you to eat a lot of offal, unlike miso or soy sauce. The finishing champon noodles were also very light, but with the offal fat melted, it had a rich flavor! Oh, I think I'm going to get hooked on this. When I ordered the sukiyaki-style dish, the staff asked me if I would like the miso flavor, which is recommended at our restaurant, but if sukiyaki-style is okay. Hey... I don't know the intention behind it, but I wish they had let me order without any hassle. Maybe it's the restaurant's consideration for beginners with offal, wanting them to try the miso flavor first. If you haven't tried it yet, gather up your courage and give it a taste!

The first time trying horse sashimi at Ooyama was amazing! It was so delicious. The price is a bit high, but it's definitely worth it. My daughter enjoyed it so much, she kept eating. It was rich and tender! The harmony of lean meat and mane was perfect! I highly recommend everyone to try it!
