When I told the president that I wanted to eat teppanyaki, he took me to a restaurant! The restaurant is a small place on the street in Kawabata Shopping Street. At first glance, there are around 20 counter seats. It seems like all seats can enjoy teppanyaki right in front of them. I ordered steak with lean meat and lobster. It was great to see it being cooked right in front of me. The taste was also good, the lean meat was tender and the lobster was firm. It was delicious! My companion also ordered a hamburger, which looked delicious too. I might try the hamburger next time I go. Thank you for the meal!

Visited for lunch. It was almost full as it was a Sunday. Since I was alone, I was seated at the counter. The service from the staff was inconsistent, with the older male staff being polite, but the younger male staff (possibly from overseas) was not very pleasant. I had to ask for water and it was placed on the table carelessly. The serving was also done without a word (other staff members greeted customers). This person's service ruined the dining experience. I ordered a glass of red wine which was discounted for lunch, making it almost half price. Be careful not to drink too much. The meal consisted of Kobe beef lean meat and hamburger, costing around 3000 yen. It took a bit of time, but the meat was tender and melted in the mouth. It was cooked right in front of me at the counter. The white rice was Koshihikari mixed rice, and the soup was based on Kobe beef. The portion was a bit small (I am a woman), so I had to order extra. The cost performance is not very good. I will not be returning.

Premium Kobe beef sirloin marrow course for 19,250 yen [tax included]. Reserved through Diners Club for half price. Although it was served little by little, I was able to get full. I could relax and enjoy the meal. The meat was cooked well and still tender.

I visited the restaurant because they had a special course to support producers. It started with a welcome drink, followed by a dish called "cow's handball sushi," grilled vegetables, sirloin, and lean steak. They also offered garlic fried rice for an additional 500 yen. I found the food a bit bland, so I tried to order shrimp, but they were out of stock. Instead, I added white fish (including scallops). Overall, I paid a room fee of 5,000 yen, but there were no special benefits. The "cow's handball sushi" had a milky smell, so I doubted if it was 100% Kobe beef. The steak was also quite small for four people and lacked flavor. I wouldn't consider visiting again.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, they confirmed my reservation name and kindly escorted me to my table where they had been waiting for me. I was able to start my meal comfortably. The staff, who seemed to be veterans, provided the dishes at a perfect pace, allowing me to enjoy delicious food at the right timing. Their attention to detail and care was excellent, making the food even more delicious. I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I visited Hakata no Sakurabana, the main store located in Kawabata Shotengai, for lunch a while ago. I was seated at the counter in front of the teppan on the first floor. Since it was a holiday, I opted for a beer without the rice set. The Kobe beef gyudon and steak set looked very tempting, but this time I ordered a set that included Kobe beef hamburger and steak. The steak was grilled right in front of me and it was incredibly tender and delicious. I would love to try their course menu next time.

This time, I went to Hanata no Sakurahana Honten located at 10-255 Kamikawabata, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, in Royce Hakata 1F・2F. I used it for lunch, and although the entrance appears to be in front, it is actually different. Many people seem to get confused. When you enter the restaurant, there is a counter seat surrounding a teppan grill. The menu includes hamburgers & steaks starting from 2180 yen, as well as different sauces for hamburgers, steak donburi, garlic rice, and various other dishes. I ordered the classic double hamburger for 1580 yen (1738 yen with rice, soup, and salad included). I thought they would cook it on the teppan grill in front of me, but they actually cooked it in a designated area a little further away, which was a bit disappointing. The soup was standard with no ingredients. The hamburger was finished in the oven, making a sizzling sound and expanding nicely. I imagined it would be meaty, but it turned out to be surprisingly tender. Personally, I was hoping to try the steak, but it wasn't on the lunch menu, so I might have to come back just for that. Thank you for the meal.

I found a delicious steak restaurant in Nakasu called "Hakata no Sakurahana". I ordered the Kobe beef A5 rank steak set for ¥5,475. I think one of the enjoyable aspects of teppanyaki restaurants is watching the food being cooked right in front of you, and this restaurant also showed off their skillful cooking. The meat in this set is a bit small at 80g, so men might want to order a larger set or add a side dish.

Located in Kawabata Shopping Street, the restaurant had a beautiful interior. The chef was a foreigner but spoke Japanese well, making our time there enjoyable. I hadn't tried Kobe beef before, but the lean meat was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

During the training period, I had lunch and ordered a hamburger that looked different from the photo, haha. I was lured by a sign along the street in the shopping district, but the hamburger in the photo had two layers and cost a little over 900 yen, with no mention of it being two layers in the menu. I could have left when I realized it was different, but I thought I was an adult so I ordered it anyway. However, even though the customer who arrived before me was already eating, there was no sign of my order being prepared... I waited for 20 minutes, haha. To make matters worse, when the food finally arrived, it looked quite different from the photo. The steak was small and tough, and the sunny-side-up egg I ordered as a topping was overcooked and not runny at all, I was disappointed. My companion also ordered a cheese-topped hamburger, but the cheese was not the melty kind as shown in the photo, it was powdered cheese. It was quite pricey, so I felt sad.

(2022.02.16) At "Hakata no Sakurabana" on Nakasu Kawabata Street, the presence of "Kobe beef" and "teppanyaki" suggests that it may be a high-end restaurant. However, the large A-board displayed outside the restaurant featured reasonably priced lunch menu items such as hamburgers made with Kobe beef and garlic rice topped with sliced beef. Although I had already eaten lunch that day, I decided to return home and check the website, where I found the "Steak Ju" that I wanted to try. I headed back to Kawabata Street. On the first floor, there were three sections of teppanyaki counters, each with a chef cooking in front of you, providing an immersive and interactive dining experience. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the Steak Ju on the menu, so I asked the staff if they had stopped serving it. They kindly informed me that they could make it for me if I had the time to wait. Although it was a bit pricey, I wanted to savor the Kobe beef properly, so I decided to order the "premium red meat" from the four options available: lean meat, premium lean meat, special rare cut, and sirloin. After placing my order, I was told it would take about 15 minutes, but there was no sign of them starting the cooking process, which made me a bit worried. As I was served a salad and meat sushi as accompaniments to the meal, the Steak Ju, prepared on the second floor, was brought to me. The salad, topped with a transparent "seaweed crystal," had a nice crunch from the lettuce and the chewy texture of the seaweed. The meat sushi offered a tender meat texture, a refreshing taste from the lightly chewed fat, and a rich flavor from the lean meat. The steak, cooked rare with a nicely seared surface, was sliced and arranged densely on top of the rice in the bowl. I enjoyed it by drizzling the egg yolk in the center with wasabi soy sauce.

This is a review of a restaurant where lunchtime is at 3:00 PM, so it's a late lunch. They offer Kobe beef in Fukuoka. I arrived at the restaurant as usual at 2:30 PM. It is located in a corner of the Kawabata Shopping Street. Upon entering, only counter seats surrounding the teppanyaki grill were available, with two seats empty due to the time. I was aiming for the Kobe beef steak bowl from the menu, but they had a "Curry Fair" this month, so I ended up ordering the highlight of the fair menu, "Kobe beef steak beef curry (2380 yen, excluding tax)". First, a salad was served. A raw piece of Kobe beef was brought out and they said, "We will grill this now." They asked about the preferred doneness, and the beef was grilled by the chef on the teppanyaki grill in front of me. Just before that, the curry rice was served, and the Kobe beef was added as a topping. Accompanied by Fukujinzuke, pickled radish, and miso pickles, as well as a surprisingly Japanese-style clear soup. The curry had a smooth European flavor. If I had to say something, it could be a bit spicier... so they quickly brought some spicy seasoning. The curry roux was not quite to my taste. There were regular diced meat pieces in the curry, and the beef was delicious. The steak was average. Perhaps it's not a high-quality cut due to the lower price. I had a slightly luxurious lunch. It was good that I could use the GOTO Eat ticket. I later realized that I didn't even look at the menu for the lean meat bowl... I might have fallen right into the restaurant's strategy (´∀｀).

When I go back to my hometown, it's a tradition for my family to visit Kushida Shrine to pay our respects. After finishing our visit in the morning, we planned to go to the usual Daito-en for lunch. However, as we were walking through the shopping street, we came across this place that caught our attention. I always thought it was a high-end restaurant only for the people of Nakasu to use at night. But to my surprise, they also serve lunch! When we entered, it was almost full, with mostly women and even moms with baby strollers. I checked the menu, and although the hamburgers looked delicious, I was drawn to the garlic rice that I never make at home. The alcohol was reasonably priced, and I was planning to have wine with prosciutto, but I had a busy afternoon ahead, so I decided to pass this time. It was entertaining to watch them prepare the dishes right in front of us. They started by sautéing a lot of minced garlic, which smelled appetizing. Once the garlic rice was ready, they quickly cooked thinly sliced beef, sprinkled garlic chips on top, and it was done! There was a lot of garlic, but it was deliciously balanced. I thought I might try making it at home. Although we skipped alcohol this time, we discussed trying the steak meal next time, which was listed on the entrance sign, along with wine. Our enjoyable lunch ended, and we thanked them for the meal. We will definitely visit again!

Overall, it's not delicious. The service is also lacking, the staff seem to be part-timers and probably not chefs. The presentation and order of the dishes vary, and the cutting is unnatural, with the meat being sliced multiple times instead of once. They don't ask about how you want your meat cooked, and even if you ask for rare, it ends up being overcooked. The bean sprouts and vegetables are undercooked. The meat skewers lack flavor. It's too terrible for a restaurant seemingly targeting tourists, and it's disrespectful to foreigners. It probably won't last long.

I went on Christmas Eve. Despite the limited availability of seats at the last minute, I was lucky enough to make a reservation. Although there were only two of us, we were guided to a private room where customers did not have to interact much, perhaps due to the COVID-19 situation. It was quiet, clean, and I was able to enjoy the cooking on the teppanyaki grill in front of me with all my senses. I was satisfied with the delicious meat and Ise ebi (lobster), but I felt that the drink menu was limited and the glasses were like those used in casual izakayas. The coffee cup was also a common type. I was satisfied with the food, but I felt a lack of satisfaction with the drinks.

Fukuoka is a teppanyaki restaurant located in the Nakasu shopping district. It is a fancy establishment that specializes in Kobe beef. I had never been there before, but when I passed by, I saw that they were having a half-price sale due to the impact of the coronavirus, so I decided to give it a try for lunch. The delicious meat was half off, and the set lunch A course was also half off, along with the beer. It was quite a good deal. I was a bit hesitant because even the cheapest meat started at 2500 yen (80g), but I eventually ordered the lean meat for 3800 yen (120g). I also ordered a rare part of Kobe beef for my partner, which was priced at 8000 yen for 120g, but with the discount, it was only 4000 yen. The taste of the meat was amazing. It was tender, juicy, and the combination of soy sauce, pepper, and wasabi was perfect. The rare part of Kobe beef was truly worth the price. The lean meat was also satisfying in terms of flavor. The salad was also delicious.

Kobe beef hamburg steak at a luxurious restaurant in Kawabata, Hakata. "Hakata no Sakurahana" is a high-end teppanyaki restaurant located in the Kawabata shopping street. They specialize in Kobe beef, and although their lunches are expensive, they now offer a Kobe beef hamburger lunch for 1600 yen plus tax. The pricing is just right and makes you want to give it a try. They also accept payment with PayPay. The restaurant has a beautiful teppan grill and a signboard related to Kobe beef. The meal starts with a salad, followed by teppanyaki dishes. By the time everything is cooked, rice and soup are served. The rice is made with local Tamba rice from Hyogo, cooked in a clay pot. You can also have seconds. The hamburger steak has a coarse texture with a firm meaty taste. The sauce and mashed potatoes are also delicious. It was a satisfying meal. Thank you for the treat!

After visiting Kushida Shrine, I stumbled upon a striking sign that read "Premium Kobe Beef" in the Kawabata Shopping Street. Surprisingly, there was also Kumamon, the mascot bear, on the sign. I wondered if this restaurant had always been here or if it was closed today. I decided to check it out and found out that it opened in September last year as the first branch in Kyushu of a chain with about 40 stores in Kansai. The staff recommended the Premium Kobe Beef Sirloin with red wine, which cost 12,000 yen. The beef was sweet and delicious, apparently due to its lower melting point compared to other beef. I received a detailed explanation about the meat and how to enjoy it, followed by a rice set meal with a tasty beef soup. It seemed like a great place for entertaining guests. Interestingly, Kumamon was initially featured with Kumamoto beef alongside Kobe beef, but now they use Kobe beef and Kyushu-produced Japanese beef.

I have been to this restaurant for lunch twice, and the teppanyaki style gives it a luxurious atmosphere. This time, maybe because I had a reservation, we were seated on the small second floor, which added to the special feeling. Overall, the food was delicious, but there was a part of the meat with a lot of tough fibers, which my friends also found difficult to chew, so that was disappointing. Also, when I saw the next group of people using the same teppan after us, I noticed that the seafood they were grilling quickly burned and the edges started falling apart, so maybe the teppan wasn't handled properly for the next use? Personally, I think I prefer the cheaper lunch option with thinly sliced meat on rice. If you want to experience a bit of luxury once in a while, visiting for lunch might be a good idea.

This is a place in Fukuoka where you can enjoy authentic Kobe beef! It may be a bit pricey, but they cook it right in front of you on a hot plate, making it visually appealing and delicious. 😊

The atmosphere of the restaurant is chic, and the steak is cooked right in front of you, making it enjoyable to watch. The Kobe beef steak was delicious. The 80g portion might be a bit small for men, so it's something to consider budget-wise. The service was good, and I would like to visit again.
