I was invited by a friend and decided to drop by this restaurant. The counter seats were full when I entered. It seems like there are private rooms on the second floor, but they were also full. After waiting outside for about 10 minutes, I was finally directed to an empty counter seat. It was my first time at this restaurant, and it was quite crowded with customers. There was a live fish tank at the counter, with fresh fish swimming inside. Looking at the menu, I ordered Goma Saba, Cod Milt, Ara Sashimi, Anago Sashimi, Fried Chicken, Beef Tataki, etc. The menu looked so delicious that I wanted to try everything. - Goma Saba: The freshness was evident with the firm texture, and it was delicious. - Ara Sashimi: You can tell it was aged, with just the right amount of fat, also delicious. - Cod Milt: It was creamy and smooth. It's the season for delicious milt. All the dishes were delicious, and it was a restaurant with excellent service. It's sure to become a popular spot in Hakata.

5 minutes walk from Tenjin Minami subway station. I went to Fish and Sake Itokashi for a delicious and luxurious breakfast. The restaurant opens at 7:00 am, but I arrived at 7:30 am and there were already 8 people waiting in line outside, which raised my expectations even more. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I finally got a seat inside and was greeted by the friendly staff. I ordered the Itokashi set meal for 2,800 yen, which included 8 small dishes, grilled mackerel with miso, miso soup, and rice. The small dishes were made with fresh fish sourced from the market, and they were all delicious. The chicken nanban was seasoned perfectly and the grilled mackerel was rich in flavor. The miso soup was tasty, and the rice was so delicious that you could have seconds. They also had other breakfast options like seafood bowls, which made me want to come back and try them. This restaurant is truly charming and it's no wonder people line up early in the morning. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I heard that you can have delicious food from morning, so I visited the restaurant in a hurry! There are so many options to choose from, including main set meals and rice bowls, as well as a variety of side dishes. Many people who have already finished their meal seem to have ordered the seafood bowl. This time, I ordered the "Silver Cod in Mirin Morning Set Meal" and the side menu "Negitoro". When the dishes arrived, a delicious aroma filled the air. The large, shiny silver cod looked so appetizing. The Negitoro also had a beautiful color, making me excited to eat it. Okay, let's dig in! First, I tried the miso soup. It had a rich and delicious broth. I took a bite of the silver cod. The fish's umami flavor paired perfectly with the sweetness of the mirin, complementing the rice. Delicious! This is what a breakfast should be like! Next, I placed the Negitoro on the rice. It was sweet and really enhanced the rice. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, you can have unlimited refills of rice. I'm definitely going to overeat (laughs). The seafood bowls that everyone else was eating also seemed to have a generous portion, and being able to enjoy such high-quality food in the morning is just pure happiness. I definitely want to visit this place again for breakfast! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I went to Fukuoka Hakata and visited a restaurant recommended by a friend, which happened to be close to my accommodation. The restaurant opened at 7 am, so I arrived at 6:30 and found one group already in line. I thought this must be a good sign! More people started lining up, and by the time it opened, there was a long line. We entered as soon as it opened. My friend ordered craft beer and a seafood bowl, while I had sashimi set and sake. The morning craft beer "Itookashi" was very easy to drink, as indicated by its name. The sashimi set was delicious as well. It was a great experience to be able to drink sake in the morning, the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and the staff's service was excellent. If I lived nearby, I would definitely become a regular customer. I would love to visit again when I go to Fukuoka next time.

I went to "Uo to Sakana Ito Okashi" in Haruyoshi and had a great time. This is a popular seafood izakaya where you can enjoy delicious fish. Some recommended dishes include: - Special sashimi plate for one person: ¥1,800 - Grilled Amago sea eel from Tsushima: ¥2,000 - Fried live horse mackerel: ¥1,200 At the counter, you can watch the skilled chefs prepare the fresh fish right in front of you, providing a lively dining experience. Unfortunately, on this day, we were seated on the second floor and missed out on this live action. The fried live horse mackerel and grilled Amago sea eel were exceptional.

[Fukuoka-Kumamoto Trip (DAY3-①)] On the third day of the Fukuoka-Kumamoto trip, which is the final day, there is plenty of time for sightseeing as the flight from Fukuoka Airport departs at 18:35. First, we decided to have a hearty meal at a izakaya called "Uoto Sakana Ito Okashi" near our hotel in Nakasu. The restaurant opens at 7:00 in the morning, which is quite impressive. We arrived 15 minutes before opening and found a long line of about 20 people, mostly women. Unfortunately, we missed the first round of seating right in front of my eyes. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we were finally able to enter. The first floor consisted of counter seats only, and we were seated at a table in the back. The breakfast menu ranged from 1300 yen to 3500 yen, with a variety of side dishes and drinks available. Many customers were enjoying sashimi for breakfast, but I wasn't in the mood for raw fish in the morning, so I ordered the "Ara-Ni Set Meal" for 1500 yen, "Grilled Mentaiko" for 300 yen, and "Natto" for 100 yen. After exhausting myself at a live concert the previous night and settling for cup noodles for dinner, I woke up hungry and ready to eat a full meal. The "Ara-Ni Set Meal (with Grilled Mentaiko and Natto)" arrived in about 10 minutes. The ara-ni consisted of various fish parts with plenty of meat attached, resembling a cross between fish head and simmered fish. I was told that it contained four types of fish ara, including sea bream and amberjack. I started with the meaty part near the head, which was delicious with its rich fat content. The seasoning was a slightly sweet soy sauce typical of Kyushu, not too strong but flavorful. The rice went down so easily. Each part of the ara had a different taste and texture, making it enjoyable to eat without getting bored. There was also sea bream head included, which I personally love. I even ate the gelatinous eyeballs. The grilled mentaiko was lightly seared, mostly raw with a slightly charred surface. It was not too spicy, just the right amount of heat. Each table also had spicy pickled mustard greens with hijiki, which added a nice kick to the meal. I enjoyed the meal so much that I even had a half portion of rice as a refill (complimentary). It was a very satisfying and delicious breakfast. I would love to visit this restaurant again for dinner next time. Thank you for the meal! Now, it's time to hop on the Kyushu Shinkansen and head to Kumamoto!

I went to this restaurant because it was near the hotel. It wasn't early in the morning on a weekday, so I didn't have to wait in line to get in. The place had a lively atmosphere, but the portion size was small and the prices were high. The fish was average, and so was the overall food. The service was okay, but when I ordered the same dish as another table, I was made to wait a long time and then they brought the dish to the other table first. They didn't apologize or make up for it. Considering it's supposed to be a popular restaurant in Fukuoka, it was quite disappointing. I won't be going back again.

This is a shop that operates in two parts, from morning till night. I wanted to eat seafood for breakfast and lunch, so I came here. The recommended dish was the seafood bowl, so I ordered it. The shrimp and sashimi were fresh and delicious. I heard that the menu has been recently renewed, and this combination was perfect for me. Mixing soy sauce with the egg and pouring it over the rice was incredibly tasty! There are so many good restaurants in Hakata. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for the meal.

I went to eat breakfast set meal. This restaurant opens at 7 am! Isn't that amazing? The reviews from people around were good, so I had high expectations. We arrived at the restaurant around 7:10 am. There were already about 15 people waiting, so we waited for about 20 minutes before being seated. The morning menu had a variety of options, and I couldn't decide between the seafood bowl and the recommended set meal, but I chose the recommended morning set meal! It was a well-balanced restaurant in terms of serving time, crowd, and taste. It would have been nice if they accepted cards. But overall, it was a luxurious breakfast. Thank you for the meal!

In front of the hotel where I stayed, there is a seafood izakaya called "Uotokana Itookashi" where a line forms early in the morning. They open at 7 am. I visited around 7:30 am on a weekday and it was almost full. Many people were having the sashimi set meal "senbei" but I decided to try the seafood bowl. It had various types of white fish, red fish, shrimp, scallops, sea urchin, salmon roe, and more. A luxurious lineup. It was a nice experience to feel elegant early in the morning.

There is a famous seafood izakaya in Fukuoka City that opens for the morning session from 7 am to 12 pm. It is a perfect place for those who want to enjoy a delicious meal in the morning. It is a popular restaurant, as when I arrived around 8 am, there were about 10 groups waiting in line. I ordered the "Ultimate" luxury bowl for ¥3,500, which is only available on weekends and holidays. It includes sea urchin, salmon roe, fatty tuna, and medium fatty tuna. I had the fatty tuna seared, and while the taste was decent, it was quite expensive and the portion was small, so my personal satisfaction level was quite low. Other set meals also seemed to be priced on the higher side. However, the fact that they open in the morning does add value. Unfortunately, the side menu item of yuzu squid mentaiko was sold out. If the bowl had been a bit cheaper, I would have also ordered the horse mackerel fry. I recommend this place to those who want to have a luxurious breakfast during their visit to Hakata.

This area lacks places to go in the morning, which can be quite lonely for visitors, but I decided to try it out since it opens at 7 am. The restaurant looks fancy, but the freshness of the fish may not be as impressive as expected. The cost performance is average. It seems to be popular among locals as there is a line in the morning. I would like to try going at night next time.

I made a reservation a month in advance because it's hard to get a reservation on Saturdays. I had a delicious breakfast, and I also wanted to go for dinner, so I made a reservation a month in advance. I had a sashimi platter, bonito, spaghetti salad, tuna bowl, salmon roe bowl, croquette, and fish head soup, along with beer, all for 7000 yen per person. It was really delicious. I want to go again.

Visited for breakfast on July 17, 2023, due to good reviews. Arrived around 8 am to find a long line already formed. Located in a bustling nightlife district, the morning air was filled with the smell of garbage likely put out the night before, combined with a hangover from the night before, causing a dramatic loss of appetite. The turnover seemed fast for breakfast? Waited about 20 minutes in line before being seated. The rice was delicious. If it weren't for the hangover and garbage smell, it would have been highly rated, but no one is to blame for that.

I visited with a 2-hour gap before my meal, wanting to have a quick drink. The conclusion is that everything I ate was delicious, or rather, foolproof. I actually wanted to try other items on the menu, so I'll have to revisit. The menu is very clear and helpful. I should recommend this place to my friends in the food industry.

I started at Ikkitou, had some drinks in Nakasu, and returned to Haruyoshi in the morning. Went to the popular restaurant "Uoto Sakana to Sakana Itookashi" for a seafood bowl in the morning. Once they close for lunch, they reopen for the evening. I haven't been there at night yet, so I plan to go in the future!

After finishing my drink, I stopped by here. It was early in the morning, but I was surprised to see a line already! I waited for a while before entering. The seafood I had for breakfast was amazing *\(^o^)/* It was so filling and delicious! I would love to visit again. Thank you for the meal *\(^o^)/*

I visited around 10 o'clock and was able to sit at the counter right away as there were empty seats. I wanted to eat sashimi, so I ordered the boat sashimi set. It was delicious, but a bit pricey. I was a little concerned about the condition of the shiso leaves and other garnishes that were served. Maybe it's geared towards tourists?

Live counter where fish are freshly prepared right in front of you✨ At "Uotokana Itookashi," they emphasize on serving fish that are fresh and not aged. The chef personally selects delicious fish from various regions in Kyushu, ensuring a high-quality lineup! You can see and taste the seasonal fish with your own eyes and palate. - Sashimi set meal ¥1,800 (4 types of sashimi, side dish, rice, miso soup) - Daily special set meal ¥1,000 I lined up for about 20 minutes on the weekend morning! It's a wonderful shop where they bid you a cheerful "Good morning☀" and "Have a good day" as you leave. Thank you for the delicious meal️ - #UotokanaItookashi #Hakata - #HakataGourmet #HakataStationGourmet #HakataSightseeing #HakataIzakaya #HakataMorning #FukuokaGourmet #FukuokaSightseeing #FukuokaTravel #FukuokaAirport #FukuokaIzakaya #Morning #MorningCrawl

From the moment I entered, the customer service was wonderful and the atmosphere was pleasant. The appetizers were delicious and the sake went down smoothly. The quality is high and there are many expensive items, so I could only admire the spiny lobster in the last photo. It's important to choose wisely what you order. Thank you for a great time.

I was able to get a same-day reservation and dine in. They skillfully prepare the freshly caught squid right in front of you, offering sashimi and tempura dishes. They have a wide variety of fresh fish available, which is great. They also allow you to take photos, making it perfect for social media posts. If you're interested, I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Fukuoka Shunkichi's Fish and Sake Itookashi is a popular izakaya with a Foodlog rating of 3.61, known for its delicious seafood. The restaurant is famous for serving delicious seafood set meals from 7am, as mentioned in reviews. On this day, I made a reservation and arrived for the evening session at 5:30 pm. All seats were fully booked with reservations, so I recommend making a reservation in advance when visiting. They offer a variety of fresh fish dishes, with daily recommendations listed on the blackboard. The highlights of the day were the large grilled clams and salt-grilled swordfish. I was particularly happy to have the opportunity to eat clams of this size. The swordfish also had a generous portion, which was a delight for swordfish lovers like me. They also had a unique menu item, whale yukhoe. It was my first time trying whale yukhoe, and it was delicious with a tender texture and no unpleasant smell. The rare Yakushima beer was also tasty. They have a wide selection of sake and wine, so you can enjoy your drinks as well. I would definitely want to visit again when I come to Fukuoka. Thank you for the delicious meal.
