Located in the area of 1-16 Tachiyamachi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City - just a 5-minute walk from the Kaizuka Line subway station "Gofukumachi Station"! Turn right at Lawson, left at Brazileiro, and you'll find it next to a coin parking lot. Established in 1963 (Showa 38), "Washoku Yoshida" has been in the central area of "Tenjin 1-chome" for 58 years, but as of February 2021, it has relocated to this new location! Due to the redevelopment project of "Tenjin Big Bang" promoted by Fukuoka City, it has been decided that in the spring of 2025 (Reiwa 7), a new building will be built in the original Tenjin area and the business will reopen. Their "sea bream ochazuke" has been gaining popularity among Fukuoka citizens and tourists alike, and has even been featured in the media. The line outside the store is longer than ever! Reservations are a must for this place. The exterior of the building has won the "Fukuoka Prefecture Outdoor Advertising Landscape Award" and does not look like a temporary store at all! After the main store reopens as a new store in 2025, this location will likely continue as a second branch. Inside the restaurant, there are counter seats, table seats, and private table seats. We tried the famous "sea bream ochazuke" from Yoshida. The sea bream is chilled in a dish, and the rice is served in a wooden container, maintaining their attention to detail. First, mix the sea bream with the secret sauce and wasabi, and enjoy the first bowl of rice and sea bream together! For the second bowl, pour the remaining sea bream over the rice, add tea, and enjoy it as ochazuke! It's a dish that can be enjoyed twice, with a good balance of flavors and delicious sea bream. If you come to Fukuoka, you must try "Yoshida's sea bream ochazuke" - a representative of Fukuoka gourmet cuisine loved by people of all ages. Thank you for the meal. Enjoy Gourmet Life☆

The live squid sashimi and sea bream ochazuke were particularly delicious. The squid sashimi was best enjoyed with salt, and the sea bream, which was 1.5 times the usual size, was very satisfying. The squid tempura was also delicious. The skewers were tasty as well and paired well with Japanese sake, causing me to drink too much. If given the chance, I would definitely like to visit again and try other dishes.

I had reserved the Yoshida course for 11,000 yen. The course included delicious dishes such as blowfish sashimi, fresh squid sashimi, black wagyu beef teppanyaki, and the famous sea bream tea-soaked rice. The food was so tasty and went well with the Japanese sake. I left the restaurant feeling very satisfied and full. The staff were also very friendly and the price was quite reasonable considering the quality of the food. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

I was invited by a friend in Fukuoka to my first experience at Yoshida, a traditional Japanese restaurant. We were led to a private room on the 3rd floor and started with a toast with draft beer. For the second round, we enjoyed a full bottle of Kenzo Estate's Asatsuyu. Unfortunately, the recommended fresh squid sashimi was cancelled due to bad weather, so we had to settle for raw local tilefish, which was disappointing as the liver had a strong smell. The rest of the dishes were neither exceptional nor terrible, just average. The finale of sea bream rice soup was also mediocre. Overall, it was a decent meal for the price. Thank you for the feast.

Yoshida is not just about sea bream tea! Their sashimi set meal is delicious, but actually their pork cutlet set meal is also delicious. It comes with domestic pork fillet cutlet and skewered cutlet. Each piece is coated and fried in the store, the real deal! Please, for those who have tried all the sea bream tea, try this!! Pork cutlet set meal 1210 yen * Rice can be served in a wooden rice bowl, and refills are OK! Let's keep eating and be happy.

I visited this restaurant for lunch because my favorite recommended it. When I arrived, there was a line, but the restaurant was quite spacious so I didn't have to wait long to get in! I ordered the sea bream rice bowl, and also tried the sea bream tempura set. You can add 1.5x or 2x the amount of sea bream, but since it was my first time, I ordered the regular amount. I ended up feeling quite full. I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again when I go to Fukuoka.

I used it for lunch with an acquaintance. It may feel intimidating as it is a high-class restaurant, but the customer service was truly outstanding. I had fresh squid sashimi and sea bream tea rice, and the squid was excellent with its transparency and crunchy texture. The tempura was also delicious. I'm glad my wish came true.

Let's eat some delicious squid at Kappo Yoshida. I almost finished all the squid dishes on the menu, and I was wondering what to have for the finishing touch... I was recommended the Taicha (Yoshida's specialty Taicha). It had plenty of sea bream slices in a sesame-flavored broth! I added a little wasabi to it and put it on warm rice. It was the best feast ever!

Visited with my boss on a holiday. We arrived at 11:40 and waited in line for about 30 minutes. It was quite hot, but they lent us a parasol, which was very thoughtful. We ordered the half set of Sea Bream Tea Tempura for 1,980 yen. The sea bream was fresh and delicious, with a nice seasoning. The tempura was crispy and tasty as well. I never knew Sea Bream Tea Pickles could be this delicious... It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. It seems like you can make reservations too, so I'd like to make a reservation for our next visit.

If you come to Hakata, be sure to try "Yoshida-san's Tai Chazuke" and have someone take you there. When I called a few days ago to make a reservation, all the slots were already full, so I had to wait in line for about an hour before finally being able to enter the restaurant. While waiting in line, the restaurant offered umbrellas to those without one. The Tai Chazuke came in three sizes: regular, 1.5 times, and 2 times. I chose the regular size, but I think I could have gone for the 1.5 or even 2 times size (laughs). The shiny rice was also available for seconds. It was very delicious.

I took a short trip to Fukuoka for two nights and three days during the long weekend. I used my accumulated mileage that I couldn't use for a long time due to the coronavirus. I have visited Hakata a few times for work or other reasons, but my wife has never been there before. I informed her in advance that Hakata is a big city similar to Tokyo and Osaka, and we planned to visit Dazaifu and Yanagawa as well. On the first day, after arriving at Fukuoka Airport, we headed to this restaurant. Since Fukuoka Airport is not far from the city center, I thought about taking a taxi, but decided to use the nearest subway station. It was my first time riding the subway. We walked about 10 minutes from the nearest station to a street where the restaurant is located a block away, and already there was a long line before 12 o'clock. Luckily, we had made a reservation in advance, so we avoided waiting in the scorching sun and went inside, informing them of our reservation and heading to the second floor. The restaurant was quite spacious, with ample space between tables. This restaurant is famous for its sea bream rice bowl, and some acquaintances had recommended it to us, saying that if we were going to Hakata, we must visit this restaurant. I had gathered this information beforehand, so I made a reservation in advance. Since it was the last day of the Tenjin Festival, I expected it to be crowded. I ordered the sea bream rice bowl and tempura half set for 1,800 yen. Before that, I ordered a bottle of beer and enjoyed it while waiting. Even though we had only walked for about 10 minutes in the scorching heat, the sea bream rice bowl was incredibly delicious. The sea bream had a firm and elastic texture, and the slightly sweet and flavorful sauce was just perfect. I put it on the rice and ate it. It was truly outstanding. The rice was served in a considerable amount in a wooden container. I then poured the broth over it and enjoyed it thoroughly. The seaweed added a nice touch. For only 1,800 yen, it also came with four pieces of tempura, which was a great deal. Fukuoka is known for its delicious seafood, and the prices are not much different from Tokyo or other big cities, but this was really cheap. I also ordered a sashimi of squid, which was market price at 3,400 yen for one serving. This was expected. Squid sashimi is not something I eat often, unlike tuna sashimi, but the squid was chewy and had a sharp edge with a noticeable sweetness, making it delicious. We finished it all in no time. My wife was extremely satisfied as well. The restaurant was established in 1963, so it has a long history. It is housed in a building with a dignified appearance, and judging by the evening course menu, it seems to attract a lot of customers for banquets and business entertainment. Having a very satisfying first meal during our trip was a great start. After leaving the restaurant, we walked to Kushida Shrine, the main shrine in Hakata. We saw men wearing loincloths, perhaps from the festival.

It was a weekend night, but luckily I was able to squeeze in a reservation between group bookings (almost like a walk-in haha)! For dinner, besides the sea bream rice bowl, I had to order one more dish, so I chose sesame mackerel and turtle stew. Eating sea bream with plenty of sesame sauce on top of rice is pure happiness. And it's even better that the rice is served in a wooden rice container. I prefer eating it without pouring tea over it, as it might mask the sesame flavor. Also, the sea bream flakes were light and delicious! It was a sheep meal recommended by Yoshida You!

I used to visit this restaurant several times before when it was in Tenjin, but this was my first time dining here since they moved to the current location in Gofukumachi. The food was undeniably delicious, and the fresh squid sashimi was particularly impressive. The tai chazuke as the finale was exquisite, making it a great choice for both personal dining and business entertainment.

I used this restaurant for lunch when I was on a business trip to Hakata. Although I have had sea bream tea rice before, I was impressed by the taste for the first time. I ordered the sea bream tea rice set with 1.5 times the normal portion, which came with slices of sea bream soaked in sesame sauce, a bucket of rice, salad and pickles, and sea bream powder sprinkled on top. At first, I ate the slices as they were, then tried sprinkling the powder, pouring the sesame sauce over the rice, and even making tea rice. Being a high-class Japanese restaurant, the place was clean and had a suitable atmosphere for business meetings. If I have the chance to visit Hakata again, I would definitely want to go back to this restaurant.

This restaurant is famous for its sea bream tea rice dish. There is always a long line, so reservations are necessary. The way to eat sea bream tea rice is to first eat the side dish, then mix the rice with tea to make tea rice. My favorite way to eat it is to pour sesame sauce over the rice. I also ordered sesame mackerel as a side dish. The sea bream here has a nice texture and is delicious. The tea for the tea rice is just regular tea, but I prefer tea with dashi. It's not as tasty without the sesame sauce. I wish I could come here more often, the atmosphere is like a casual dining room.

I visited this restaurant in Fukuoka for the first time, recommended by a friend who lives there. I arrived at 11:50 am and had to wait for about 25 minutes as there were already 2 groups waiting, which was quite crowded for a weekday. By 12:00, more reservation groups from nearby offices started coming in. I tried the local Fukuoka dish, "Oku," for the first time and it was delicious and had a refined taste. The squid sashimi was priced by weight, but I ordered it anyway and it was so fresh and tasty that I could have eaten two more servings. I wished they served white rice at this point. When the sea bream rice porridge was served, the staff taught me how to eat it. I couldn't resist taking a bite while listening, and it was delicious! I mixed the flavorful seaweed from Ariake Sea with wasabi as instructed and took another bite, regretting that I ordered 1.5 servings instead of 2. Before the main dish, I had two extra servings of rice and finally had the rice porridge. It was the best rice porridge I've ever had! I fell in love with sea bream rice porridge and will definitely visit again, as the price was reasonable. From the Fukuoka sesame mackerel to the side dishes, it was a journey of experiencing dishes I had never tried before and being impressed.

Around 7-8 years ago, there was a restaurant called Yoshida in Tenjin. It seems like the Tenjin store has been renovated and relocated to this location in Gofukumachi. The squid sashimi that I had reserved was still amazingly delicious! The fried flounder was crispy and delicious down to the bone! Everything I eat here is just so delicious. The sea bream rice porridge I had as a finish was filled with plenty of sea bream and was delicious! The Tenjin store is soon to reopen with a new look, so it might be easier to make reservations. I definitely want to come back to this restaurant.

I think there were 7 reservations in a day, and after that, you have to wait outside. During the weekday lunchtime, there were taxis and luxury cars coming for entertainment. It was a hot day, but the staff kindly provided parasols. I arrived 5 minutes before opening and waited for about 30 minutes. The sea bream rice bowl was very delicious. It was nice that you could have unlimited rice. Since I was on a trip, I splurged on ordering squid sashimi. The price was market price, around 3,000 yen. However, when it came time to pay, it was reduced to the 2,000 yen range for some reason. The squid tentacles were made into tempura. The staff were very friendly! The ginger and wasabi that came with the squid sashimi were double the wasabi in front of me, which was funny. I had beer with the squid, so the price went up, but if you only have the sea bream rice bowl, it's less than 2,000 yen per person.

When I used to visit Kappo Yoshida Tenjin for lunch, I would always have the sea bream tea. But today, it was my first visit to their new location in Tenjin-cho, and I went for dinner, trying their hospitality kaiseki course menu (8,250 yen) which included the following dishes: small appetizer (simmered squid), fresh squid sashimi, blowfish sashimi (even though it's not the season), steamed dish (mentaiko chawanmushi), black wagyu beef sukiyaki with onsen tamago, squid tempura, sea bream tea, pickles, and dessert (melon, cherry). I missed taking a photo of the small appetizer (simmered squid). The blowfish sashimi was a delight, wrapped in green onions and served with momiji oroshi ponzu sauce. The fresh squid sashimi was excellent, showcasing the unique flavor of Kyushu. The steamed dish was forgettable. The sukiyaki came with a hot spring egg and was delicious. The tempura included squid tentacles and ears, which were tasty. Ending the meal with sea bream tea was perfect. Overall, the experience at the new location felt more upscale, but I thoroughly enjoyed the squid and blowfish dishes. I might consider coming back for lunch as well. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited the famous Taichazuke restaurant, Kappo Yoshida, in Fukuoka. There was usually a long line, but due to the heavy rain that day, I was able to get in right away. The staff were very polite. I ordered the Taichazuke 1.5 times. The fresh sashimi of sea bream and rice alone was delicious. When turned into ochazuke, the flavor and texture changed, and the sea bream broth and sauce matched the rice and sashimi very well, making it even more delicious. I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I made a lunch course reservation over the phone and arrived before noon. There were 7 people waiting outside the restaurant. I was directed to the counter on the second floor called "Amakusa," but I was seated in a corner of the room since I was dining alone. First, a small paper cup of sea bream broth was served, which was delicious. Next, steamed chicken with yuzu was served, also delicious. They recommended beer to go with it. Then, a sashimi platter with 4 types of fish arrived, all of them were fresh and delicious. By the time I finished the sashimi, a small box and a tea bowl were brought to the table. Following that, a tempura assortment and sea bream rice porridge were served. The tempura started with green beans, which were crispy and delicious. The shrimp was decent, but I wished it was cooked a bit more. The eggplant was tasty. The fish was delicious! The squid had a good texture and was tasty. The sweet potato was average. Finally, the sea bream rice porridge was served, and the server explained how to eat it. First, mix the sea bream with wasabi and sauce, then eat it with rice as a side dish. It was delicious. I ordered an extra side of pickles for 100 yen, which I found to be expensive. There was a lot of rice in the tea bowl, and I wasn't sure if I could finish it all. Lastly, I topped the rice with sea bream and sauce, poured tea over it, and enjoyed the sea bream rice porridge. It went down smoothly and was delicious.
