Spacious semi-private seating. Ate the crab and eel mixed rice bowl. The taste was delicious. Liked the dessert "Imo Musume" I had. It's a combination of vanilla ice cream and warm sweet potato, which was perfect for a cold body in the air-conditioned restaurant. Not too sweet and very tasty. Clean and user-friendly restaurant with a casual atmosphere.

From Hakata Station, walk along Chikushi Street, past the Gundam at Lala Port, and you will arrive shortly. This time, I chose the Fukutoku Grass course. The meal included salad, boiled snow crab, crab sashimi, crab shabu-shabu hot pot, crab gratin, shrimp tempura, sushi platter, and miso soup with crab. For dessert, we had sherbet. It was a great course where we could enjoy various crab dishes such as boiled crab, crab shabu-shabu, and gratin. It was a wonderful crab feast after a long time. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The meal was supposed to be enjoyed slowly while chatting, but the service was rushed. It felt like they were timing us. They kept bringing out dishes one after another without considering that we were still eating the previous course. Is it normal for the rice dish to come out while we're still on the appetizers? Even for a set course at an izakaya, they should be more considerate. The place wasn't even busy. It's funny how they don't seem to understand the basic concept of serving food to customers in a delicious state, especially when they are charging a decent amount of money. It's like receiving hospitality below that of an izakaya.

I have visited this old building many times for occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrating children. This time, I tried the seasonal limited crab and matsutake mushroom charcoal-grilled kaiseki course, which was quite pricey (over 20,000 yen for two people). It was disappointing. If I had felt satisfied with the 20,000 yen spent, I would have left happily, but unfortunately, that was not the case this time. After a series of disappointments in my recent visits, I am not sure if I will come back again. It's a bit sad considering I have been coming here for many years. However, I recommend this place for its spacious parking lot and private rooms where you can relax and enjoy your time.

I have visited this old building many times for occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrating children. This time, the crab kaiseki meal was just okay, not as delicious as before. The wide parking lot and private rooms make it a relaxing place to spend time. I recommend it.

I have visited this old building many times for occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrating children. This time, I wanted to eat kama-meshi, so I ordered it with additional crab topping. The taste was just okay, not as delicious as before. The portion was small, so I ended up ordering more. They have a spacious parking lot and private rooms, which makes it a recommendable place to relax.

It was a last-minute visit before I couldn't drink anymore due to the mola mola. I went to a nearby crab chain restaurant with my wife, ate crab, drank crab, and then went home. Yes, I drank crab. The sashimi was just about to lose its freshness, but it was still delicious, like sweet shrimp. Thank you for the meal!

I had a course meal for 9,680 yen, which included snow crab and king crab. I believe the snow crab was frozen, as it lacked the plumpness and sweetness of fresh, refrigerated snow crab. However, it did not have the typical fishy smell of frozen seafood, making it easy to enjoy. The crab meat overall felt a bit thin, which was disappointing. The king crab steak was a DIY style, where you cook it yourself. I preferred the style where the steak was already cooked, as it tasted much better. The most delicious dish was the crab shumai. The restaurant was new and very clean. If you want to truly enjoy delicious crab, be prepared to spend 20,000 to 30,000 yen.

The crab shop nearby has been renovated and reopened. The new building is quite different from the old luxurious castle-like one, now looking more like a prefab structure. The interior of the shop is bright and clean. The menu is filled with crab dishes, and I tried various options. Overall, the food was delicious. I'm just surviving these days, feeling how insignificant humans are compared to bacteria, which are said to be the strongest on Earth. Oh, and I made a mistake with a quote from a TV show. Embarrassing!

We all decided to eat crab dishes together, so we visited "Hakata Koura Honten"! First, we had crab sashimi! It was so delicious and melted in our mouths! The crab vinegar was made from snow crabs, and they were so tasty that we ordered one more! The snow crab had a unique flavor, and the meat was tender and delicious, but the best part was the crab miso! It was amazing! The crab steamed rice had plenty of meat on top, making it a luxurious meal! After the crab hot pot, we enjoyed crab porridge and crab sushi, and we were completely satisfied with all the crab dishes we had! If you ever crave crab, be sure to visit this place!

In April, we celebrated my mother's birthday by going out to eat crab with the whole family. It had been a while since we visited the Kora Honten main store on Chikushi Street, so we decided to try the lunch set with crab pot. The set included crab sukiyaki, two small side dishes, assorted tofu, sashimi, crab tofu shumai, chawanmushi, mini crab chirashi sushi, soup, and dessert - it was a feast! My daughter enjoyed the kids' set with crab sashimi. The room was a private dining room, allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal as a family.

The crab sashimi was delicious and had a smooth texture!

Visited Koura-san to eat crab. This time, we visited the main store in Hakata with my family! Which is the best place to eat crab in Hakata, Kanihonke or Koura? This time, we visited Koura-san, which is close to our home and reasonably priced. I used to visit every year a few years ago, but this time I visited after a few years (maybe 3 years?). Until a few years ago, I used to visit on my birthday, so the staff offered a photo shooting service. This time, we ordered a course meal, but my favorite is the crab sashimi. I want to eat crab in Hokkaido! Maybe I will travel to Hokkaido this year?

Today, I had a dinner meeting with Naka. We were originally planning to go to an izakaya, but ended up choosing this place because we were looking for a private room with parking between Naka and Zao. It was the first crab dish of the year. However, maybe because we were trying to save money, there wasn't much crab (lol). We got some snow crab claws though! The beef shabu-shabu was very delicious, and we enjoyed some good meat. The portion size was quite generous and tasty. The restaurant was not like a halfway izakaya with a private room, but had a solid structure, so the children could play around freely (lol). Thank you for the meal~

Due to the closure of my favorite crab restaurant, I am now a crab refugee. My husband really wanted to eat crab, so we had to find a new place. He found this restaurant where we ordered the most expensive crab shabu-shabu course, the "Hana no Mai" for 9,180 yen!!! The crab tofu, crab salad, crab miso, crab vinegar, crab sashimi, grilled crab, crab shumai, and crab shabu-shabu were delicious! However, the crab claw was missing, and we didn't really need the crab salad and shumai. The service was a bit lacking - our reservation didn't seem to be communicated properly, and we left something behind without them noticing. Although it was my fault for not noticing the forgotten item, I wish the staff had caught it. The crab at the previous restaurant we used to go to was incredibly fresh and delicious. Now, the search for a new crab restaurant begins.

Today, I am in Morooka, Hakata. I used to live in an apartment near this area. The floor concrete in the toilet was cracked, allowing cockroaches to come in and out. I remember filling the gap with silicone sealant. When I asked the manager if I needed to leave the hole as it was when I moved out, they said it wasn't necessary. I visited a restaurant with my parents in the past, and it holds a special memory for me. My father has passed away since then. The restaurant had a coupon for a free Taraba crab leg steak for 1800 yen, which we tried. It was delicious but a bit on the expensive side. This time, I revisited the restaurant to relive that memory. I always thought this restaurant, Koura, was the main branch, but recently I found out there is a main branch in Nagoya as well. The parking lot is spacious, and the restaurant is luxurious. Inside, there is a tank with live Taraba crabs. It was fascinating to see them up close. My wife wanted something warm, so she ordered the crab porridge set, and I had the crab chirashi sushi. The initial seat was by the window, but we moved to a warmer spot. The atmosphere was nice, and the dishes were a bit pricey but worth it. The crab cream croquette was also delicious. We had a pleasant time chatting with the staff. This restaurant is perfect for hosting important guests or events, but it could get expensive if you go all out.

On a special anniversary, I had made a reservation in advance for a private room at a wonderful restaurant. I was touched by the unexpected dessert service from the restaurant. There are several branches nationwide, with the main branch being called "甲羅本店" and all other branches having a similar name. I mistakenly thought Fukuoka was the main branch, but I was wrong. On this day, we splurged a bit for an elegant anniversary lunch. We ordered separate course menus for my husband and me, sharing them along with beer, sake, and additional dishes like king crab steak and crab cream croquettes. Unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery so I couldn't take any photos of the stunning crab dishes. The private room was very cozy and comfortable, and the attentive service from the staff in kimonos added a special touch to our happy anniversary memories. I look forward to coming back for other special occasions, especially since the lunch menu is reasonably priced, under 1,000 yen on weekdays.

Koura Honten in Morooka. The location is a bit remote, so most people coming from Hakata will probably take a taxi. There is plenty of parking available, so it's also fine to go by car. I had made a reservation this time, so I was guided to a private room on the second floor. It was not a traditional tatami room, but there was a table in the room. We ordered the 2-3 person serving of crab for 5,800 yen with a coupon. Three types of crab were served, but it didn't feel like enough to fill us up. I think the portion size was small. There are various set meals on the evening menu, so I thought it would be better to order one of those and add on additional items. We ordered additional items like crab sushi rolls. The mayo and crab combination was quite good and delicious.
