Fukuoka Food & Beverage

With exchange between Japan and the continent continuing from old times, food culture in Fukuoka has been 'give and take.' This city has a big influence on the whole of Japanese food culture.

Among the many specialties of Fukuoka, we recommend the following dishes: Hakata ramen, thin noodles with various toppings in a special white soup made from pig bones, the rival of which is motsu-nabe, a casserole of giblets. In winter, you can enjoy fugu (globe fish), the ultimate delicacy, whose fine taste will enslave you. Also, your travel would not be complete without visiting the yatai , food stalls open at night. There will surely be a long line in front of the most popular of the 180 stalls located mainly around Tenjin and Nakasu, specializing not only in ramen, oden (Japanese cookpot foods), yakitori (grilled chiken), tempura (Japanese fritter), gyoza (meat dumpings), but also in French and Italian fare.
