I had visited "Shin Miura" in the basement of Tenjin Building several times, but this was my first visit to the main store. "Shin Miura Main Store" is located a little off the beaten path from the intersection of Gofukumachi and Chidorigashi. The old store was completely destroyed in the Western Offshore Earthquake about five years ago, and the new building was opened about four years ago. Since it is a new building, the scent of fresh wood is pleasant, and the interior incorporates building materials and furnishings from the old store, creating a very nice atmosphere in the tatami rooms. The seats are in private rooms with sunken kotatsu tables, which is a nice touch. Since its establishment in 1910, they have been serving the unique milky white chicken hot pot with unchanged flavor. A platter of about five appetizers (nothing particularly noteworthy) and thinly sliced chicken breast sashimi lightly seasoned with plum sauce. Finally, the hot pot, starting with the concentrated soup filled with the umami of the chicken. Next, the tender chicken and Hakata vegetables are cooked in the earlier soup. While it's expected that the chicken is delicious, the combination of the vegetables and round mochi with the milky white soup was particularly tasty. The only thing that bothered me was that the ponzu sauce seemed sweet. Perhaps they use the sweet soy sauce unique to Kyushu. I think a sharp citrus and vinegar acidity would go better with the milky white soup and meat. The rice is served as soup ochazuke. A small amount of rice is poured with the hot pot soup, making it much lighter and a suitable way to finish the meal. For dessert, you can choose between pudding with coffee or matcha sauce. I chose coffee, and the perfectly sweet and slightly bitter rich coffee paired wonderfully with the famous pudding. This is apparently a specialty of this restaurant called "melting jelly." The course meal for one person was around 6000 yen, and we had about 5-6 shochu drinks for a little over 20,000 yen for three people. It was a fantastic restaurant with excellent cost performance.

I made a reservation a week ago and visited the restaurant. I ordered the Mizutaki course for 6,500 yen, and on the day, I also ordered chicken wings and chicken meatballs. The secret chicken white broth soup that has been passed down for over 100 years since its establishment has a refreshing taste with the rich flavor of chicken broth overflowing, and it is incredibly delicious! The tenderness of the chicken meat is also surprisingly amazing. It's so delicious when dipped in the special ponzu sauce! I also ordered the chicken meatballs and chicken wings, which turned out to be the right choice. The meatiness of the meatballs and the crispy texture and juiciness of the chicken wings stand out, and both are delicious! The vegetables are fresh and crunchy, and the tofu is soft but firm, which is nice. The rice cake is soft and goes well with the ponzu sauce. Finally, I poured the chicken soup over the rice to make soup rice, and it was incredibly delicious! I first ate it without adding anything, and for the second bowl, I added ponzu sauce, both of which were delicious, making it a perfect way to finish the meal with a tea pickled rice dish. The price is high, but the taste was surprisingly delicious! I was very satisfied! Thank you for the meal!

My wife's friend came to visit from Tokyo, so I invited her to my favorite sukiyaki restaurant, Shin Miura. This time, we chose the Matsusuke course, which consists of 10 dishes. In addition to sukiyaki, there are plenty of other dishes, so it's quite a hearty meal. The chicken is incredibly delicious, but the highlight is the soup! I forgot to take a photo, but before eating the chicken, you drink the soup, which is amazing. The chicken used at Shin Miura is a male young chicken that is only 3 months old. You dip it in a special ponzu sauce, which pairs perfectly with the chicken. After the chicken, you try the meatball, which is fluffy and incredibly tasty. The vegetables are also top-notch. Lastly, you pour the soup, enriched with the flavors of the chicken, meatball, and vegetables, over rice to enjoy a tea-flavored dish. It was a blissful moment. I ended up eating four bowls of this tea-flavored dish and finished all the soup. Starting with soup and ending with soup... sukiyaki is truly wonderful. My wife and her friend were already full before dessert, so I ended up eating three portions myself! LOL

First visit. The taste was very ordinary. There were many group customers and it was noisy. But then the landlady came to apologize. It's a long-established place after all, so my anger subsided. The staff in charge of the room, Nakai-san, was very attentive and I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first time trying Mizutaki in Fukuoka. A colleague from the head office recommended this place for Mizutaki. The meat was tender and easy to eat. You can add more meat, but the course meal portion was enough to make me full. It was very delicious.

Famous for their Mizutaki hot pot, this riverside establishment is known for its traditional atmosphere and attentive service. The female owner personally prepares and serves the hot pot, creating a refined dining experience similar to a high-end ryotei. The rich white soup is surprisingly light with a subtle saltiness when sipped. The ingredients, including chicken, meatballs, and vegetables, are simmered in the pot and finished with a porridge. While the portion may not be large, the leisurely dining style allows for a satisfying meal. The flavor of the soup intensifies with each addition of ingredients. As a soup lover, I was thoroughly pleased. For dessert, we enjoyed a milk pudding with a choice of matcha, hojicha, or coffee sauce, offering a delightful sweetness that complemented the meal perfectly.

I had a water hot pot in a private room at Shin Miura, a restaurant with a long history. I started with the boiled chicken breast, which was delicious! Next was the soup. The cloudy soup was full of chicken flavor. After that, we had meat, vegetables, and finished with something like ochazuke. Nakai-san served everything for us. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited during a break from work. I had been here before, but the surrounding scenery had changed a bit. The lunch course was more than enough. I read about the history of the restaurant and had the appetizer. I was a bit hesitant about the liver paste, but I had no problem eating it. It was delicious. I then had boiled chicken and was served the main dish, chicken hot pot. Both dishes had enough saltiness, but some may prefer to add more. The chicken was simmered until tender, and I could even eat the bones if I wanted to, but I decided to put them aside. Next came the tsukune and finally the vegetables. All were lightly seasoned and left a good impression. For dessert, a milk pudding was served with a choice of three sauces (coffee, matcha, hojicha). I chose matcha after much deliberation.

Today, I visited this restaurant for a special celebration of an elder's 80th birthday. It's a holiday afternoon and the atmosphere is festive! Although there is another branch in the Tenjin Building basement, this is the main store. Established in 1910, the soup made with only water and chicken has been passed down for over 112 years, resulting in a delicious milky broth. They call it "mizudaki" instead of "mizutaki" to emphasize their commitment to their craft. We started with appetizers and beer, including liver pate and simmered octopus, which made us crave for more drinks. Then, the famous milky soup arrived, and it was truly exquisite. I even had seconds! I enjoyed drinks like Mitsui no Kotobuki, Niwa no Uguisu, and Toichi, while the elder also had a couple of glasses. We had chicken hotpot, chicken soup, and bone-in chicken thigh with the milky soup. The meat was tender and easy to eat, but lacked a strong flavor, so dipping it in ponzu sauce enhanced the taste. We also had meatballs and vegetables, and finished with soup rice (zosui), which was light and delicious. We brought a cake for dessert and took commemorative photos. It was a joyous and satisfying meal. Thank you for the feast!

It was my first time, but it was very delicious and the service was excellent. The soup in particular was plentiful and delicious. The dishes were also nice and visually appealing. I would like to go again when I come to Fukuoka. Please try it out.

Today, I visited a famous restaurant in Hakata. It was simply amazing. The food was delicious, and the whole experience felt very thoughtful and loving. This place truly represents Hakata cuisine. It's a bit far from the city center, but it offers the best traditional water hotpot. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

A long-established sukiyaki restaurant in Hakata boasting 112 years of history. While they also have a branch in Tenjin, this time I visited their main store. Located quite far from the hustle and bustle of Tenjin and Nakasu, in a rather quiet, almost sterile area. Fukuoka's two major hot pot dishes, "motsu nabe" and "sukiyaki," are their specialties, but for lunch, sukiyaki seemed more appropriate. Despite being lunchtime, the fact that you can enjoy their traditional taste for 6050 yen (Fujiko course) does offer a sense of value. I thought that having sukiyaki for lunch wasn't a bad idea after all. This restaurant, with all private rooms, is a must-visit place, especially during lunchtime. On a weekday afternoon, I was guided to a room with a river view! The course included sukiyaki as the main dish, along with appetizers, pickles, dessert, and it was quite a satisfying volume for lunch. The soup served at the beginning, passed down through generations since the establishment, was clear and refreshing with a complex sweetness. You can have this soup as many times as you want, without needing to ask. The gradual transformation of the soup into a rich and complex flavor as it simmers with vegetables in the pot is truly surprising. The chicken meat was also tender. The ponzu sauce was also delicious! Finally, we had zosui to finish, where the rice is not cooked in the soup but served in a teacup with the soup poured over it, like a tea-soaked rice dish. You can enjoy it as it is, or you can add the ponzu sauce first to adjust the flavor before eating. It was a first for me to have sukiyaki for lunch, and it was quite good. Thank you for the meal.

This is my first visit. The location is a bit inconvenient, but the food is very delicious!! I had the pine course. It was quite filling, so I think the course one level below would have been enough. The soup after adding the meatballs had a great flavor and was very tasty.

I have started a gourmet website for Mitomi Emon. Today, I would like to introduce one of Fukuoka's representative gourmet dishes, Mizutaki, from the long-established restaurant "Shin Miura," which has been in business since the Meiji era. The atmosphere is like a traditional Japanese restaurant, and the view of the Mikasa River from the private rooms is charming. Let's enjoy the taste of the 112-year history. The soup, which has been continuously added to since its establishment, has a rich aroma of pork bone broth. The soup is surprisingly light and has a refreshing aftertaste after the initial richness. The careful process of removing impurities during cooking is reflected in the taste. The meat is tender chicken thigh meat, incredibly delicious. The homemade citrus-flavored ponzu sauce is also excellent. Vegetables and rice play supporting roles, with the soup always being the star. The vegetables enhance the sweetness of the soup, and the rice absorbs the umami of the soup. The ponzu sauce also enhances the flavor when drizzled over the rice. Other courses include appetizers, boiled chicken breast, a Fukuoka specialty dish called "Okuyuto," and dessert, which is a matcha-flavored pudding. Enjoy your meal!

The other day, I went to Fukuoka again. So, this time it's new information. This year, I had a serious illness. Since then, my husband has been very kind and supportive of me. A trip of gratitude to my husband. On the first day, we visited Shin Miura at my husband's request. We were able to make a reservation through Tabelog, which was convenient. However, the access to this restaurant is not very good. It's about a 20-minute walk from Hakozaki Line, Gofukumachi Station. By bus, it's about a 1-minute walk from the Nishitetsu Bus 25 bound for Kaizuka. But local buses may be a bit challenging for tourists. So, we decided to take a taxi. It cost around ¥1800 from Hakata Gion area. First, I was a little overwhelmed by the appearance of the restaurant. I remember the taxi driver saying that it's a high-end place. When we entered the restaurant, we had to take off our shoes and climb a few steps to enter the room. We chose a private room over the counter. The water server was always there to serve, so it was hassle-free. The Sakura course was ¥7150 (tax included), which includes appetizers, chicken sashimi, Mizudaki, vegetables, rice, and dessert according to the restaurant's website. I'm not a fan of raw chicken, so I informed them when making the reservation. They called me to confirm, and assured me that the chicken sashimi is cooked, so I felt relieved. The appetizer of grilled fish on cedar board was delicious, with a hint of cedar flavor. The sweet potato with orange peel was subtly sweet with an orange aroma. The mid-course was a combination of liver pate, cream cheese, and fig in a wafer. The spinach was seasoned with kabosu, which I tried for the first time and found it to be a good match. The mushroom sauce for the chicken broth chawanmushi was served cold and had an elegant taste. The Mizudaki soup was very rich, and the chicken meat was tender and fell off the bone easily. The vegetables included Chinese cabbage, enoki mushrooms, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, komatsuna, and tofu. The mochi was simmered for a long time but didn't melt, which was surprising. My husband, who loves mochi, finished two pieces quickly. The meal ended with soup poured over rice without simmering. It was delicious! The dessert was a creamy dessert with a choice of cinnamon coffee, hojicha, or matcha sauce. My husband had coffee, and I had hojicha, which went well with the dessert. The bill for 2 beers, 1 glass of sake was ¥18876. The landlady came to greet us during the meal, and she was very friendly. The young lady who served our table was also very polite and had a constant smile. We had a wonderful time enjoying a delicious meal and spending quality time together. Later, in the taxi on the way back, I suddenly remembered that I forgot something. When I called, they were very polite and helpful (turns out, I left my things at the hotel). The restroom was modern and very clean.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant and dignified. I sat in a semi-private room which was very spacious and calming. There were about 6 parking spaces right in front of the restaurant, which was convenient. The hostess greeted us warmly and the other staff members, dressed in kimonos, provided wonderful service. The chicken, from Kumamoto, was very tender. Although it was a course meal, the portion was a bit small. The hojicha pudding dessert was delicious! I used this restaurant for a business dinner and my guests were satisfied from the moment we walked in until we left. It's a lovely restaurant.

Memo: Visited with 4 people. Normally we go to the casual Tenjin branch, but today we visited the main branch after a long time. We sat in a sunken kotatsu-style room and were served by a dedicated waitress. The beautiful landlady, whom we haven't seen in a while, greeted us, adding to the historical charm of this renowned Fukuoka restaurant (established 110 years ago). The course menu mainly consists of Mizutaki (chicken hot pot) and incurs a service charge, but it's recommended for those who want to enjoy a leisurely meal. For those seeking cost-effectiveness, the Tenjin branch is recommended. Thank you for the feast - we will visit again.

The shop that my business partner took me to. It was my first time eating Mizutaki in Fukuoka, so I was looking forward to it. This place is a long-established store that has been around for over 100 years. I heard that they originated the milky white soup for the hot pot. While waiting for the Mizutaki, we enjoyed our meal. I was surprised to hear that they have been adding to the same soup for over 100 years, but I didn't particularly feel its value. However, the Mizutaki was very delicious and enjoyable. Finally, we had rice cakes and rice in a tea bowl, topped with soup, which was also delicious. I would like to come back again.

A friend from Tokyo came to Fukuoka for a live performance, so I wanted to treat them to a nice restaurant. There were only two lunch courses available, and I chose the cheaper option as the difference between the appetizer and the meatballs didn't seem very appealing. In the end, I ended up ordering the meatballs separately. I really wanted to try the Yoichi whisky, but I had to settle for juice as I was driving. The selection of soda and juice was impressive and all very delicious. The main dish, the chicken hot pot, had a pork bone-like smell but was surprisingly light. The server adjusted the seasoning with salt each time, but the difference in saltiness was quite noticeable. I had high expectations due to the restaurant's over 100-year history and the emphasis on tradition, but I was honestly a bit disappointed. The chicken was very tender and not dry, suitable for all ages. The homemade ponzu sauce was tasty but lacked a punch, nothing particularly special. I also tried the recommended meatballs, but the texture was a bit slimy due to the use of grated yam. Another thing that bothered me was the attitude of the server. While the person who took my reservation was very polite, the server seemed arrogant, unenthusiastic, and bothered by answering questions. Despite my complaints, the meal was filling and good value for money, so I would still bring guests here in the future. Personally, living in Fukuoka, I can buy fresh brand chicken at a butcher shop and even buy the soup to make hot pot at home. Thank you for the meal!

I chose a restaurant with private rooms for lunch on the first day of my trip to avoid getting tired and losing my appetite. Since I came all the way to Hakata, I decided to try Mizumi, where I made a reservation for a course meal. The restaurant has a parking lot and a very clean interior. The main dish, Mizutaki, was delicious with tender chicken meat that easily fell off the bone. Even the chicken skin, which I'm not usually fond of, was tasty. The ponzu sauce had a rich flavor that I really enjoyed. I found out that they have branches in Tokyo as well, so I will definitely visit if I crave Mizutaki.

This is an old and well-known sukiyaki restaurant. If you're from Fukuoka, you must know it. You can enjoy sukiyaki in a private room along the river. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the sukiyaki this time. But don't worry, the taste is guaranteed. You can relax and have a drink while enjoying the first appetizer course. Then, you'll have the sukiyaki soup at the perfect timing. The sukiyaki is delicious! If you're dining with someone, I recommend requesting a reservation in advance for a great experience.

Located about a 10-minute walk from Kenchoguchi Station, the visit rating is 3.68. I had the Fukuoka specialty, Mizutaki, at Ume, one of the Fukuoka Big Four Mizutaki restaurants. The Mizutaki (3740 yen) was served with chicken, vegetables, rice, and milk pudding. The staff were attentive and cooked the food carefully in the room. The chicken was cooked perfectly, tender, and delicious. I was able to enjoy a very high-quality Mizutaki. Thank you for the meal. Please try it out!
