In any case, it's cheap! I stopped by Shinpachi Shokudo for a casual drink. I went after the Senbero event at Solaria Stage on Mondays from 3 pm, so I was a little tipsy. I'm sorry for not having enough photos. The restaurant is spacious, and I enjoyed highballs while snacking on dishes like at a rotating sushi bar with a touch panel.

I tried the light grilled fish set meal. I couldn't decide between saury and mackerel, so I went with the marinated mackerel. The slightly sweet rice was delicious and easy to eat. The miso soup was especially tasty, and I enjoyed a leisurely Japanese lunch. I look forward to eating saury when the season comes.

On this day when I became a lunch refugee, Parco's food court is convenient because many restaurants are open all day. The place has regained its lively atmosphere, with some restaurants even having a line past 2 pm. Despite the heat and not feeling very hungry, I like dried fish, so I chose this relatively empty place. The interior is surprisingly spacious. Ordering was done through a tablet, and I was pleased to see cold tea already on the table. Looking at the display outside, I chose the "sardine" set meal. The sardines were grilled and served hot. With rice and miso soup neatly placed, it felt like a traditional Japanese meal. The sardines were fatty and delicious, and the meal was satisfying. The menu displayed outside mentioned that the grilled sardines were delicious, and indeed they were. Enjoying such a meal now brings me comfort at this age.

Today, I visited a restaurant that mainly serves grilled dried fish with charcoal and also has meat dishes. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats, with a surprisingly large number of seats available. Customers ranged from individuals to groups of people, and there was a variety of people visiting due to the location. Orders were placed using a touch panel system. I ordered the "Salmon Belly Set Meal" as it was ranked number one on the popular ranking list at the entrance. The touch panel menu showed that the Mackerel Dried Fish Set Meal was ranked number one. You can choose between white rice and brown rice. As for the taste, the salmon was fatty and delicious, but the fat became a bit heavy towards the end. However, the grated daikon radish provided a refreshing balance. It's not often that I have the opportunity to eat grilled fish, so it's nice to have a restaurant like this. I enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the meal.

Had lunch at PARCO. It was a little after 12 and we were able to get in easily. This was my second visit. I had the Salmon Harasu set meal with grated daikon, white rice (couldn't change to barley rice), and miso soup. The total was 968 yen including tax.

I had dinner in the Tenjin area of Fukuoka and randomly walked into a restaurant on the basement floor of Tenjin PARCO where they serve fish dishes. I ordered the half grilled Atka mackerel set for 869 yen. It was a little past 6:30 pm on a Sunday, and although the restaurant was empty when I entered, it quickly filled up while I was waiting. Since it was a holiday, there were many groups of 2-3 people who were out shopping. The counter seats were also occupied by solo female customers, so it seems like a good place for dining alone as well. The food arrived after about a 15-minute wait. The Atka mackerel was a half portion and looked smaller than I expected, but it was nicely grilled and tasted delicious. The miso soup was also flavorful.

My daughter returned home after 3 months and requested to eat a fish set meal, so we visited this restaurant. At our home, my wife tends to avoid dishes that produce smoke, so we come to this restaurant when we feel like eating grilled fish, which tends to produce smoke. It's a popular restaurant with lines during lunchtime. We visited around 6:30 PM on a weekday. The customers were mostly businessmen, businesswomen, and travelers. We ordered using the tablet on the table. I had the red sea bream marinated in sake lees set meal for 1034 yen including tax, and my daughter had the salmon belly set meal for 968 yen including tax. Although we often ate herring in Scandinavia, we didn't eat salmon, so my daughter wanted to try it after seeing it being grilled at the entrance. The red sea bream marinated in sake lees had a good amount of fat and tasted great! The salmon belly had a slightly burnt skin with some bitterness, but my daughter, who hadn't eaten it in a while, found it delicious. The quality for this price near Tenjin Station is excellent. We will definitely visit again.

A diary of a sake drinker exploring gourmet food ☡✍ I worked at Shinpachi Shokudo, Fukuoka, Fukuoka City, Chuo-ku, Tenjin 2-9-9, Tenjin Parco today⊂((・x・))⊃ It was a holiday, so there were so many people... I was all excited to come to Tenjin Parco! But everywhere was crowded. Oh well. Maybe I should go to the rest area (>_<) Just when I was about to give up, I found a fish set meal restaurant that seemed easy to get into even for one person and looked delicious ( ・∇・) It was empty, so I decided to eat here‼️ Top-selling set meal: Saba Bunka dried fish set meal for 946 yen. I added a side dish of green beans for an extra 50 yen. The fish was huge! So fatty~~~‼️ There were a lot of women! This place is perfect for a girls' night out with this fatty grilled fish^_^ It was so great that I felt like eating fish again, so I'll come back. Thank you for the feast♪ #FukuokaIzakaya #Izakaya #TenjinIzakaya #SakeLover #ConnectWithSakeLovers #Sake #SakeGirls #SakeLovingGirls #LoveSake #FukuokaPub #Instagood #Instafood #FollowWelcome #ConnectWithFoodAndDrinkLovers #HakataGourmet #SpringYoshiGourmet #HakataIzakaya #FukuokaDinner #FukuokaGourmet #GrilledFish #Lunch

I was in the mood for fish again, so I searched for a place near Tenjin Station where I could eat fish and ended up here. I was seated at the counter and in front of me was a touch panel where I could choose from the menu, types of rice (brown rice was recommended), and the amount of rice. Fukuoka is famous for grilled mackerel, so they had a wide variety of fish types and cooking methods. I felt like having something a bit rich, so I ordered mackerel miso with half portion of brown rice and cold tofu on the side. I think the mackerel miso was 860 yen, and the cold tofu was 50 yen. It was an ideal set meal! It was easy to dine alone and enjoy a proper set meal when I wanted. The miso soup portion was generous, and I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again.

After working overtime, I stopped by on my way home for dinner. I don't usually choose fish for dinner, so I carefully examined the options before entering the restaurant. There were many set meal samples at the entrance, such as grilled silver salmon, salmon belly, and salmon marinated in miso. I couldn't decide until I sat down, so I looked at the touch panel and somehow decided on the salmon belly (I'm an adult who is not good at removing fish bones). I also ordered some seaweed. The salmon belly had more fat than I expected... too much fat, in fact... I ended up asking for extra grated daikon radish. The rice wasn't very tasty... There is a big difference between the rice at restaurants that have a commitment to quality and those that don't. I hope the rice at fish-focused restaurants is delicious (just my personal opinion). Nonetheless, I left satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal!

I heard that there is a dried fish specialty store in Parco, so I went there for lunch right away! The dried fish looked delicious, but on this day, I ordered the miso-marinated mackerel. It was nice to be able to choose the type and amount of rice for free! I was very satisfied, so I will visit again next time to eat dried fish ♡

I thought it was a shop in Fukuoka and went in. It felt like a family restaurant where you could order a set meal with dried fish and cheap beer! I ordered something called "Culture Set Meal with Mackerel." What is culture?? (*´∀`*) I don't know, but it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I had been curious about the 150 yen beer for a while, so I visited the restaurant around 3 pm on Sunday for a late lunch and some afternoon drinks. I was told to choose any seat I liked, so I sat at the counter in the front. However, the counter area was too bright and close to the busy walkway, not very relaxing compared to the nice table seats with a good atmosphere visible from outside. In order to order the 150 yen beer, you have to order a set meal, so I ordered the seasonal menu of salt-grilled cold yellowtail set meal with half portion of rice (you can choose white or brown rice, I chose brown rice). As a snack while waiting for the set meal, I also ordered the green bean sesame salad from the 50 yen side dish menu. The ordering process was done through a touch panel. Overall impression... it was a bit of a mediocre restaurant. Despite promoting the 150 yen beer, there were few options for side dishes to go with it. You can order grilled fish separately, but then you can't order the 150 yen beer. Since I was mainly there for drinks, I intentionally ordered a half portion of rice, but it was served closer to a regular portion... If the main fish dish was delicious, the overall impression might have been different, but unfortunately, the cold yellowtail was not very tasty... I should have just gone for something safe like mackerel or salmon belly. Depending on the staff, the experience might vary, as another solo customer who came later was offered a table seat in the back and seemed to have a better experience. In the end, I had a set meal with two beers, and a shochu (black Kuro Kirishima) for 150 yen, and got change back from 2000 yen, so the cost performance was good, but the satisfaction was low for some reason. Maybe if they offered grilled fish as a separate dish to go with the beer, it would be a better restaurant... but since it's primarily a set meal restaurant, maybe expecting that is wrong. Anyway, I probably won't visit again.

First time at this restaurant. I came for lunch. When you order a set meal, you can get a draft beer for only 150 yen! I couldn't resist that deal haha. I ordered the popular mackerel dried fish set meal. I also got a plate of seaweed as a side dish. The mackerel was delicious as usual! Sometimes I feel like eating this kind of set meal, so it's a good option. It feels okay to come alone. It was lunchtime and all the other restaurants had long lines, but I was able to get in here easily. However, the staff seemed a bit busy and made some mistakes like forgetting to give me chopsticks. After a while, a man came out and things started running more smoothly. The bill was correct, so I felt relieved haha. Thank you for the meal!

The concept is "charcoal-grilled dried fish fast food." Located in the basement of Tenjin Parco, this restaurant offers a selection of dried fish set meals and meat set meals. They have around 20 stores mainly in the Kanto region, with this Fukuoka Parco store being the only one in Kyushu. The atmosphere is calm, and you can enjoy a delicious fish set meal at a reasonable price. While the main focus is on dried fish set meals, they also offer several meat set meals. The restaurant is located on the dining floor of the Fukuoka Parco main building, which features a variety of local specialties and popular eateries for both locals and visitors to enjoy. The "Shinpachi Shokudo" is a chain restaurant originating from Kanto, not a Fukuoka specialty, but it offers tasty dried fish set meals at affordable prices, attracting both young and older customers at Parco. Despite being a cafeteria, it has a somewhat relaxed atmosphere, with both table and counter seats available. They have a dedicated charcoal grill area where dried fish is grilled using a unique charcoal grill that cooks the fish in about half the time of a regular charcoal grill, ensuring quick service. The set meals include rice, miso soup, and pickles. In addition to dried fish set meals, they also offer meat set meals. The most popular set meal is the "Saba Bunka Hoshi Set Meal," followed by the "Salmon Harasu Set Meal." I tried the "Hokke One Tail Set Meal," which was quite substantial and satisfying, like a grilled fish steak. You can choose between white rice and aged brown rice, with a small additional charge for aged brown rice. The restaurant also offers various meat set meals, and I tried the "Chicken Ginger Stir-Fry Set Meal" with extra meat, which was sizzling and flavorful. Overall, it's a place I would like to visit regularly.

I love the dried seafood set meal at this affordable restaurant. Sometimes I crave for the dried Atka mackerel. But I also love chicken, so today I had the large portion of chicken ginger stir-fry, which had a slightly sweet sukiyaki-like flavor with a hint of ginger. It was delicious! They also have dried seafood as a standalone option, so I think I'll try both next time I come. Thank you for the meal.

I came to Tenjin on a weekend break. I won't be around Fukuoka City for a while due to a business trip starting tomorrow. So, I decided to do some shopping while I'm here. It was almost lunchtime, so I thought I'd have lunch before heading back home. I came to the food court in the basement of Tenjin Parco. It's been a while since I've been here. I'll take my time to look around. Some of the shops I used to visit are gone, but there are new ones too. I felt like having some fish, so I narrowed it down to 2 places, but the one that caught my eye the most was this place. It's a restaurant that serves charcoal-grilled dried fish set meals. I wanted to eat something healthy before my long business trip starting tomorrow. So, I decided on this place. I had some time before they opened, so I wandered around the department store basement to pass the time. I arrived at the restaurant right at the opening time around 11:00. The restaurant had both table and counter seats, and there were no customers inside. I was seated at an empty counter seat and checked the menu. I already had a rough idea of what I wanted to order from the menu at the entrance. The restaurant uses a touch panel ordering system, so I double-checked the menu using the touch panel placed on the counter. It seemed like all the fish set meals were dried fish. After looking through the menu, I found some other items that interested me, but I ended up ordering the popular No.2 Salmon Harasu Set Meal with extra rice. I had planned to eat lightly, but I couldn't resist the option of extra rice. The other place I was interested in offered unlimited rice refills. The restaurant had a beautiful interior with a retro Japanese feel. It seemed like the staff were all women. The food arrived in about 15 minutes. It seemed like the food was prepared after ordering, so it took a bit of time. The miso soup bowl was larger than the rice bowl. It had a traditional Japanese set meal look. I took a bite of the salmon harasu. It was delicious. The salmon had a fluffy texture, incredibly tender, and juicy. The amount of fat in the salmon was impressive. It was high-quality salmon fat. The seasoning was subtle, so I ended up adding soy sauce and grated daikon radish halfway through. The miso soup had plenty of wakame seaweed, fried tofu, and green onions. It was delicious. The miso was from Kyoto. I was happy with the large soup bowl. The pickles had a mild salty flavor. The delicious salmon made me eat the rice quickly. I wished I could have had another bowl if refills were free. I enjoyed eating it so much. I finished it in no time. Later, I found out on their website that this restaurant is a chain from Tokyo. I'm from the Kanto region, so maybe that's why it felt familiar to me. I didn't know about this place when I lived in Saitama. Next time I visit, I might try the Akauo Kasuzuke Set Meal, even though it's not in the top rankings. I'm also curious about the Pacific Saury Salt-Grilled Set Meal, the Mackerel Sushi-Style Pickled Set Meal, the Blackthroat Seaperch Saikyo-Miso Pickled Set Meal, and the Fatty Tuna Belly Set Meal. They also have meat set meals for those who don't like fish. It might be worth trying their aged brown rice too. This time, it cost me 979 yen. It's quite reasonable to have a set meal for under 1000 yen in the basement of Tenjin Parco. It was delicious. I'll definitely come back.

Salmon rice bowl set with natto for 924 yen. I can't believe there is a Shinpachi Shokudo in Fukuoka... The first time I went to Shinpachi Shokudo was about 10 years ago, I think. I remember eating at Shinbashi or Kanda. At that time, they only served grilled fish with miso and pickles. But now it seems they also have meat dishes. Being able to casually eat grilled fish is really valuable and important. There are not many places where you can eat it other than for lunch or at an izakaya. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I think that way. I would like to come back to eat again.

This week was all about wanting to eat fish, so I cooked fish at home and also went out to eat fish. On the final day, I decided to have grilled fish at this place! It's a place that some people in Tokyo might know, located behind a pachinko parlor in Kabukicho. For just a few extra yen, you can have brown rice, so I ordered a grilled hokke fish. The fish, dried overnight, was being grilled over charcoal. It was so delicious just like that. I savored it while thinking, "This is so good." Even though I thought the meat would probably be delicious too since it's on the rankings, I couldn't help but appreciate how tasty fish is. Watching both Kanto-based and Fukuoka-based restaurants thrive, I realized once again that you never get tired of eating fish. Thank you for the meal.

I decided to have a quick lunch at Parco and visited this relatively empty restaurant. The interior is spacious, with a large number of seats for a restaurant in a building. And what supports all those seats is... a tablet!!! Personally, I'm not a fan of the cheap-looking design of the tablet, but in this day and age, it's efficient. Come to think of it, there seemed to be few staff members for the number of seats. Despite being underground, the tablet performance is very good. The menu is easy to read. I ordered the most popular Bunka dried mackerel set, while my friend ordered the salmon belly set. It was only after ordering that I noticed something interesting for set menu customers... draft beer for 150 yen!! I was tempted, but I resisted (lol). Soon, a huge tray arrived. Although I ordered a small portion of rice, it was still quite a lot. And this is the Bunka dried mackerel... Actually, what is Bunka dried mackerel?? (Question that arose after ordering) I looked it up. Bunka dried mackerel is a method of making dried fish, not by sun-drying, but by drying with a cold air machine. I see... a "cultural" method compared to sun-drying, perhaps. I learned something new again. The mackerel had a good amount of fat and was juicy. The skin was crispy. The firm texture of the dried fish was delicious. I wasn't expecting much in terms of taste because it was empty and had a tablet, but it was surprisingly delicious! They also offer other fish-based set meals like Pacific saury and horse mackerel, as well as meat dishes like ginger pork. It all looked quite interesting. Thank you for the meal~
