I visited an event at PayPay Dome and couldn't enter other shops because they were full! ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣◇￣)┘^_^

In Tokyo's Kichijoji, there is a restaurant called "Nikuyama" where it is extremely difficult to make a reservation. Now, a new restaurant called "Nikuyama Shokudo" has opened at #ezofukuoka, where you can enjoy set meals for both lunch and dinner. This branch in Fukuoka is the only one among the nationwide chain where popular set meals can be enjoyed all day. They offer a variety of meat dishes such as steak, curry, tonkatsu, and yangnyeom chicken. This time, I tried the classic sagari steak set meal with 200g of meat (1600 yen). The steak was juicy and tender, and the presentation was impressive with a paper wrapper that said "Eat meat!" The side salad with carrot dressing was also delicious, and I wish they sold it separately because it was that good. The only downside was that the rice was a bit dry and disappointing. Overall, the meat was very delicious, and if the rice was better, it would have been perfect. Check out my Instagram momono._.o for more Fukuoka gourmet recommendations!

Before watching baseball, I decided to fuel up with some stamina by having a hearty meal. I opted for a Sagari steak along with some shumai and gyoza. It may seem like an odd combination, but it was perfect for a midday drink. The Sagari steak was incredibly tender and delicious, living up to its reputation. The gyoza was decent, but the shumai was especially tasty. Although the meat mountain in Tenjin is no longer there, I'm glad that Meat Mountain Dining is still around. Thank you for the meal.

Today, even though it wasn't my favorite team's game, I was invited by my curry buddies to enjoy the feeling of liberation at the PayPay Dome for a baseball game after a long time. Before entering the stadium, we decided to have a pre-game drink together at this place. I arrived a little late, so let's cheers again! This place offers red meat dishes like steak, but we decided to go for some appetizers - Miso Cucumber for 500 yen and Beef Tendon Stew for 500 yen, paired with a Premium Malt beer. The Beef Tendon Stew turned out to be surprisingly delicious, so I switched to a Highball! They also had a variety of curry dishes on the menu, so we decided to try the Uchiyama Curry (rice bowl) for 500 yen as well. It was quite spicy and tasty, don't you think? After having two Highballs, it's about time to head into the stadium! The total bill for the three of us was around 7,500 yen. Thank you for the meal!

Before watching the baseball game, we had some time so my son had the Nikuyama Sagari Don and I tried a bite - the meat was tender and delicious! I wasn't very hungry, so I had the seafood noodles and beef tendon stew. Later, I regretted not getting the small Nikuyama curry after all (laughs). It was my first time trying it here, although they also have it at the PayPay Dome.

The restaurant "Niku-yama Shokudo" located on the food floor of BOSS E･ZO FUKUOKA. Visited on a holiday. Plenty of table seats available with no other customers at the time. Received a parking discount when presenting the parking ticket at the cashier. A branch of the popular Tokyo restaurant "Niku-yama," Niku-yama Shokudo offers affordable set meal menus. Ordered the Niku-yama Sagari Don for 1600 yen. Comes with soup and salad. The Sagari was tender without any unpleasant smell. The portion size was on the smaller side. The sauce was just right and mixing it with the egg yolk was delicious. Ordered a cola, but it turned out to be Pepsi. It's common, but for cola lovers, it can be quite a shock (*´-`)笑

(2022.10.11) It seems that "Nikuyama Shokudo" at BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA's The FOODHALL is affiliated with the famous restaurant "Nikuyama" in Kichijoji, Tokyo, where reservations are booked over six months in advance. Unlike the "omakase course" only option, this place offers affordable set meal menus. I visited on a weekday after a long weekend, and despite the restaurant having about 30 seats, there were no prior customers. The stylish design of the dining hall seems appealing to couples visiting BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA for a date. The menu includes Sagari steak, Sirloin steak, Pork loin cutlet, and Pork loin steak, along with popular curries and rice bowl dishes served as the finale in the "Nikuyama" courses. Options like Tteokbokki and Yangnyeom chicken are also available. After much deliberation between steak and rice bowl, I finally chose the "Nikuyama Sagari Don." Sliced to a thickness of about 10mm, the meat is tender without any toughness from the sinew, cooked to a medium doneness showcasing its tenderness. Despite being a part prone to odor, there was no trace of it, indicating its freshness. The sauce seemed a bit strong, but mixing it with the topped egg yolk created a harmonious flavor. The savory aroma from the sauce blending with the meat was enticing, and the combination with rice, sauce, and egg yolk made for a satisfying rice bowl experience.

This is a restaurant located inside BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA, adjacent to Fukuoka PayPay Dome, where you can enjoy delicious meat dishes. The walls of the restaurant are decorated with autographs of Hawks players. I used a coupon I got at the Hawks fan fest to try the Nikuyama Curry set for ¥900 (¥500 with the coupon). The curry had a unique spicy flavor with a kick of chili peppers. The set also came with seaweed and egg soup and a vegetable salad, which surprisingly was delicious. If you're dining at this restaurant, I recommend trying the Katsu Curry while watching a Hawks game.

I came to the theater for the first time in 3 months. Instead of dining at places like Markis as before, this time I decided to have dinner at the food hall on the 3rd floor of E・ZO FUKUOKA where the theater is located. Since the Italian restaurant was closed, I came to this restaurant. It was 4:50 PM and there were no other customers. I was asked to sit at the counter. When I tried to put my bag on the chair next to me, I was asked to put it in the compartment below. I ordered the "Meat Mountain Cutlet Curry Set: 1,500 yen" with half rice. It was served 9 minutes later. I have been eating "cutlet curry" a lot lately, but the "pork cutlet" was a bit different from my taste. However, the beef inside the curry was tender and delicious. The "(Beef) Curry Set: 900 yen" might be recommended.

I visited around 6:00 pm, and there weren't many people at Izofukuoka. I ordered the Saga beef bowl. The meat was delicious, but the rice and onions were intentionally served cold, which I didn't quite understand. I think it would be better if they were served a little warmer. The staff seemed inexperienced in customer service, as I was left waiting in a mysterious manner, but the restaurant has only been open for 2 months, so they may improve in the future.

Today, I went to see HKT48's theater performance for the second day in a row. It's my first time watching three consecutive performances, I wonder if I can keep up my energy? Especially after the ban on calls (cheering by shouting out loud) was lifted post-pandemic, I find it hard to catch my breath. During the encore, I end up panting halfway through (^^) The afternoon show was particularly cold due to the strong air conditioning, so I had to eat some meat at Nikuyama Shokudo to recharge! This place had Naachan's (Matsuoka Hana) autographed board from last year's collaboration, as well as signatures from Meru-chan (Tashima Meru), Mimimi (Mizukami Rimika), and Murashige Anna when the store first opened. It's a delightful shop for fans. This time, I ordered the Sagari Don Set for 1600 yen, with less rice, that Yuuka-chan (Akiyoshi Yuka) and Aichii (Ichimura Airi) had during Golden Week. Sagari meat is a rare cut that hangs from the diaphragm ribs, softer and lighter than Harami. The thick slices had a satisfying chewiness, and the meat was delicious! The sweet sauce made the rice go down smoothly. The rice, made from 100% domestic rice using a 24-hour aging milling method, was indeed delicious on its own. Mixing in the egg yolk made it even better. I should have just stuck with the regular amount of rice... The warm soup was a nice touch on this cold day. Thanks to the meal, I had plenty of energy for the evening show!

I used it during Golden Week. The meat was delicious. It seemed to be aged, so it was tender and easy to eat. The portion size was not large, so it was a comfortable feeling to finish eating quickly. However, the waiting time was too long. Although I was seated at a table without waiting in line, I think I waited about 1.5 hours after being seated. Later, I overheard a conversation between other customers and the staff, and it seemed like they were waiting for ingredients to arrive, but I wish they had explained that at the beginning. I had other plans afterwards, so I think there was not enough consideration for the customers. There were about 3-4 staff members including those in the dining area and the kitchen. It didn't feel like it was just because it was Golden Week or because of a shortage of staff. In a restaurant like a food court in an entertainment facility, taking away customers' time is fatal, I think. It's at a level where you could complain to the franchise headquarters. I think the taste and concept of the food are good, so I hope they do their best. My Golden Week trip to Kyushu was a good memory. Thank you for the meal.

Renowned nationwide for its unbookable meat dishes, "Nikuyama" has been revamped as "Nikuyama Shokudo," where you can enjoy meat set meals for both lunch and dinner in Fukuoka. Located in the restaurant zone of the 7-story entertainment facility "BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA" right next to the PayPay Dome, Nikuyama Shokudo is a branch of "Nikuyama Fukuoka" and is recommended for those who want to dine in leisurely. They also offer various takeout options. I tried their popular curry, the "Ishikawa Pitcher's 2929 Sagari Steak Curry," which comes with a generous topping of sagari steak. The curry is made with crab broth for a unique flavor. The takeout container is designed like the ones used at the stadium, making it convenient to carry around. The curry itself is rich and flavorful, with a good balance of meat and rice. Overall, it was a delicious meal, and I look forward to trying their meat set meals in the restaurant next time.

I aimed to complete Fukuoka, Saga, and Oita prefectures by collecting digital stamps as part of the HKT48 x JR Kyushu Everyone's Kyushu Project year-end trip. After completing Fukuoka and Saga prefectures, I only had Oita prefecture left. On this day, I took a break in Hakata and leisurely explored the area. In the evening, I went to the HKT48 new theater and relaxed in the lobby for a while. For dinner, I went to the third-floor restaurant street at BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA where the theater is located. The restaurant has posters introducing the places where the members actually ate. This time, I visited Nikuyama Shokudo where Murashige (Anna) and Mimimi (Mizukami Rimika) had been before. I noticed their signatures on the wall from my previous visit. The restaurant was not crowded, but due to the current situation, I opted for a takeout Hamburger Bento for 1,300 yen. While waiting, I also found signatures of Meru-chan (Tashima Meru) and Aoi-tan (Motomura Aoi) on the wall next to the register! I walked back to my accommodation in Akasaka, so by the time I got there, the hamburger had cooled down a bit and became slightly hard, but it was made with good meat and tasted delicious. The rice was also tasty. I would like to try a freshly made hot meal at the restaurant next time!
