◻️Bottled beer ¥550 ◻️Daikon (oden) ¥Unknown ◻️Hakata Mentaiko Shiso Shumai (3 pieces) ¥550 The first place I visited at the Hakata Tenjin Yatai was this place, which is also featured in the guidebook. It was a dream come true to be able to eat shumai at a food stall. Luckily, there was no waiting time and I was able to enter smoothly. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered a drink and shumai, but couldn't wait for the steaming time and also had a little bit of oden. It was so juicy and delicious that it disappeared in an instant. The shumai itself was delicious, and I imagine it would be even better to eat in the winter cold. However, even though I waited for a long time, the shumai took a while to arrive, and I saw other customers who arrived later getting their shumai first. When I asked, it turned out that my order had been forgotten. Although there was an apology, I didn't feel much sincerity in response to the fact that my order was missed and the long wait. The food was really delicious, but the service attitude was a bit off, so I'm hesitant about going back for a second time.

The second food stall we visited was HERO's Yakata Mushiage. This shop is also located in the Tenjin area. It is a rare food stall that serves shumai, chawanmushi, and steamed dishes, so it was the stall we were targeting before coming. There were only 4 people in line, so we lined up behind them. After about 20 minutes, we entered the shop. In front of us were many steamed dishes and delicious looking oden. Although I wanted to try the oden, I decided to order shumai, chawanmushi, and grilled mentaiko. The shumai was filled with plenty of meat and was delicious, melting in my mouth! The chawanmushi was also amazing, to think they could make it at a food stall! It was perfectly smooth and tasty. The grilled mentaiko was also delicious, showing the true taste of the region. This shop also quickly formed a long line. It was a new food stall with rare and delicious dishes. Thank you for the feast!

Delicious shumai, amazing.
