I visited the restaurant without a reservation, but the staff were very kind and accommodating, making it enjoyable for families with children. It seems to be a very popular place, so I recommend making a reservation, especially for families with children. The recommended dish is the thick-cut beef tongue, which is incredibly delicious and once you try it here, you won't be able to enjoy it anywhere else. The staff were attentive, quickly changing the grill without being asked, promptly refilling drinks, and showing great care. I often come to watch baseball games, and I highly recommend this yakiniku restaurant in Fukuoka. I haven't tried the famous "nikumabushi" yet, so I'm thinking of ordering it for a bento before the next game. If you are considering it, this is a yakiniku restaurant that you must try.

I made a reservation for the best course! I'm happy because there are not many restaurants where Yan can eat liver. Maybe because there was no baseball game, there were only 2-3 groups of customers, including other restaurants? All the meat was delicious, so it's a shame about the location. I went by car and ended up parking in the dome parking lot, so I circled around a lot. It would have been easier to get to. The rice dish at the end was also luxurious, with sea urchin, and it was a satisfying course!

You can enjoy delicious and high-quality meat at this restaurant. We tried the course menu (5000 yen) this time and it was amazing! - Exquisite Nigiri Sushi: The Cambodian black pepper is served as one grain on its own and another grain on the nigiri sushi. The combination of black pepper spreading in your mouth with the melting meat is excellent. - Meat Sashimi Platter: The platter includes glossy hormone sashimi, and the heart (hatsu) was particularly delicious. - Yakiniku Assortment: Top-grade tongue, heart (hatsu), and top-grade Harami are served with different condiments. The tongue and heart have a nice texture, while the Harami is packed with flavor. - Grilled Meat with Salt: The marbled meat has a perfect balance of fat and red meat. - Ichibo Steak: A large thinly sliced piece of meat is grilled by the staff, and you eat it by mixing it with egg. It melts in your mouth and is exquisite. - Rock Rice: The lean lamb block is grilled with garlic soy sauce, then served with egg over rice. It is also packed with flavor! The restaurant's name is a combination of "meat" and "thank you," pronounced as "nikugatou." I'm curious about their meat seasoning, and since the meat quality was so good, I definitely want to go back!

On a regular Hawks night game, I drove to the PayPay Dome early and parked in the dome's parking lot. The parking fee is 3,000 yen per day (including tax). I decided to stroll around the nearby commercial facilities and have an early dinner at a restaurant inside E・ZO FUKUOKA around 5 pm. When I brought the parking certificate to the reception, I found out that there is a cashback of 1,000 yen (including tax) for every 2,000 yen (including tax) spent on food and entrance fees at E・ZO FUKUOKA. We looked around the eateries and were drawn to the "Original Grilled Meat on Rice" on the menu outside, so we decided to dine at Kaga-ya. There were hardly any other customers yet. Both of us ordered the Original Grilled Meat on Rice for 1,600 yen (including tax) each. In about 10 minutes, the Original Grilled Meat on Rice arrived. Just before it was served, I realized that if we spent an additional 800 yen, the cashback amount would increase from 1,000 yen to 2,000 yen, so we decided to order additional soup. I ordered the Farm-direct Vegetable Soup for 500 yen (including tax) and my wife ordered the Serious 8-Hour Boiled Beef Soup for 500 yen (including tax). Since we ordered late, the soups were brought after we finished the Grilled Meat on Rice. The Grilled Meat on Rice exceeded our expectations in terms of taste. The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. A bowl and dashi were also provided, and it was enjoyable to make ochazuke with them, which was also delicious. The soups, though served in small bowls for 500 yen, had excellent flavors. When I handed over the receipt of 4,200 yen and the parking certificate to the reception, they gave me two 1,000 yen bills in return.

(2022.09.02) Located in the downtown area of Tokyo, Ningyocho, with branches in Tamachi and Roppongi, "Nikugatou" is a highly sought-after restaurant known for its difficulty in making reservations. It is a delight to find a branch in Fukuoka where you can enjoy their dishes without waiting in line. The restaurant is situated in the entertainment facility "BOSS E•ZO FUKUOKA" next to the PayPay Dome, offering 4 table seats and 20 counter seats, making it easy for solo diners to visit. The stylish and chic restaurant is predominantly themed with wood, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. While it is known for serving enjoyable yakiniku dishes centered around lean meat in the evening, during lunchtime, they only offer their signature dish "Niku Mabushi Ju." Opting for the most affordable option, the "Ume" set, I enjoyed the US Sagari beef that was carefully marinated and cooked to a perfect medium doneness. The sweetness of the marinade and the savory aroma from grilling made the dish truly delicious. Adding a topping of egg enhanced the flavor, and having it as ochazuke with dashi broth elevated the dish even more, creating a satisfying and delightful experience.

The salted beef tongue was frozen solid and the texture was not great. It seemed like it was just the leftover pieces of tongue. The female staff's responses were curt. She tried to quickly clear plates, even reaching for plates that were out of reach. The way she noisily handled the menu made it seem like she wanted us to leave quickly. It seems like this Tokyo-based famous restaurant doesn't have much popularity in Fukuoka, probably because of issues like this.

Yakiniku Akami Niku ga Tou, which opened at E・ZO FUKUOKA next to PayPay Dome, is a yakiniku restaurant. The interior has some curtains for privacy, but since it is located in a food court, there is not much peace and quiet as the eye contact with passersby is constant. However, aside from that, it is an enjoyable place to eat delicious meat! Especially, the akami (lean meat) mentioned in the restaurant name was tender and tasty!

I visited Nikugatou, a restaurant located inside E・ZO FUKUOKA next to Fukuoka PayPay Dome. It specializes in lean red meat, offering low-calorie options. I ordered thick slices of beef tongue, red meat, and three types of hormone. The meat was delicious. As for drinks, Champagne or sparkling wine was in short supply. The wine, whether by the bottle or glass, was not impressive and it was hard to say that the glass wine was delicious.

Located on the 3rd floor of E・ZO FUKUOKA, near Jigyohama in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka, right next to Fukuoka PayPay Dome. I visited this place after visiting the O Sadaharu Baseball Museum on the 4th floor of the same building. It is said to be the Fukuoka branch of the popular Tokyo restaurant called Nikugatou. Since I came all the way here, I ordered the specialty original Nikumabushi heavy, specifically the Matsuno grade, the "Jewelry Box" Premium Wagyu Lean Meat Nikumabushi heavy (selected Wagyu beef with sea urchin and salmon roe) for 3,800 yen (tax included). It was indeed delicious. The meat was tender, the sauce was sweet, and it paired well with the dashi broth. Let's leave the cost performance aside.

This is a restaurant located next to the dome in Fukuoka, inside the Ezo Fukuoka. It is a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant. They offer special services related to the Hawks games. If the Hawks win, you can get beer for 290 yen. If they lose, you get an additional dish. When they win, definitely go for the beer. The highlight here is the excellent service. The staff will even cook for you, so be sure to ask them. It seems like a branch of a famous Tokyo restaurant, and the staff are really putting in the effort. I hope they like Fukuoka. As for the yakiniku, it is high-quality and delicious, although it is a bit pricey. Ordering the course menu seems to offer better value. I would like to try the course menu next time! ^_^

■Yakiniku Akami Niku Ga To E・ZOFUKUOKA Store Located right next to Fukuoka Dome, Yakiniku Akami Niku Ga To E・ZOFUKUOKA store opened on July 21st. A regular at the Meat Festival, Niku Ga To has made its first appearance in Kyushu! After leaving Fukuoka Dome and entering the entrance of E・ZOFUKUOKA, you will find the 3rd floor dining area. Passing by a few other stores, you will arrive at Niku Ga To. It's a bit unusual to have a counter where you can enjoy drinks. The counter in the back is the usual Niku Ga To. ■Draft Beer First, the draft beer. If the Softbank Hawks win, beer is only 290 yen for 1 hour after the game ends! You can't resist ordering. On this day, we had reserved the Niku Ga To VIP course. ■Homemade Kimchi and Namul Assortment A unique assortment of cut dried radish kimchi and namul. ■Chilled Meat Sashimi Assortment An assortment of heart, senmai (tripe), hachinosu (tripe), and upper mino (tripe). Each has a different texture, making it interesting. ■Blissful Nigiri Nigiri topped with Cambodian peppercorns. The melting meat is irresistible! ■Yakiniku - Salt Thick-Cut Tongue Salt thick-cut tongue, heart, and upper harami. All thick cuts! The heart is especially noteworthy. Topped with Tasmanian mustard, the combination of the mustard's popping texture and the juicy heart is exceptional. ■Premium Lean Meat - Sei Beef from Kikuchi, Kumamoto A brand I haven't seen in Tokyo. Despite being lean meat, it is surprisingly tender. We compared it with sauce and salt. ■Adult Highball An adult highball with Tasmanian mustard. The popping texture is interesting. ■Drinkable Dressing Beef Salad A salad as a chopstick break. The daikon radish is shaped like a cow. ■Specialty Ichibo Steak A specialty ichibo steak. A rare cut of ichibo, it's huge! The staff will cook it for you while you wait with a beaten egg. Dip the cooked ichibo in the egg and enjoy the bursting meat juices and tender meat. ■Specialty Rock Rice Another specialty, rock rice. A chunk of meat is served. Dip the meat in warmed butter soy sauce and cook it while dipping repeatedly. Once cooked, place it on the rice. It's delicious as is, but adding the reserved egg is impressive. ■Today's Specialty Meat Today's specialty meat is fundoshi and upper mino. Fundoshi is a strange name, but there are also glasses in the parts. ■Mini Meat Mabushi Gozen A menu item only available here, meat mabushi gozen to finish. Red meat on rice, topped with sea urchin and salmon roe. First, eat it as is. Then pour broth over it to make ochazuke. Add condiments for flavor variation. It's undeniably delicious. ■Shaved Ice For dessert, shaved ice. I chose pudding flavor and finished it off with caramel at the table. The fluffy ice is delightful! Being able to enjoy the usual Niku Ga To in Kyushu, and also exclusive Kyushu menu items, made for a perfect night. Plus, the Hawks won.

The lamb rack was soft and delicious. Even my mother, who doesn't usually compliment meat, praised it. The staff cooked it for us. Thank you.

I tried a variety of beef tongue dishes and they were all amazing. From top to bottom: top tongue, tip of the tongue, tongue tendon.

I tried the Akamisiran Block and the signature Rock Rice. The special sauce paired perfectly with the egg!
