Located along Sumiyoshi Street is Yagibashi Union Market. In one corner of the market is "Koga Fresh Fish Store," a shop that combines a fresh fish store with a dining area. We tried their limited quantity Maguro (tuna) bowl with 13 slices. It was filled with medium fatty tuna and lean tuna. Served with sea grapes, grated yam, and clear seaweed soup, this dish pairs perfectly with a light beer. The medium fatty tuna melts in your mouth, spreading a sweet richness, while the lean tuna showcases the natural aroma and glossiness of tuna. Dip it in wasabi-infused soy sauce and enjoy it with rice for a perfect combination of flavors. The menu offers a variety of dishes that make you want to have a drink during lunch. If you have the chance, be sure to visit this restaurant.

In June 2023 at 10 am, I visited the restaurant alone. I entered from Yanagibashi Union Market. There were many foreign customers. I sat at the counter and ordered a 9-piece tuna bowl for 1100 yen (tax included) and 3 locally grown oysters from Nagasaki for 900 yen (tax included). They were delicious. I also had a Kirin draft beer for 600 yen (tax included) which was served in a nicely chilled glass. The total came to 2600 yen (tax included) and PayPay was accepted. When I left, there was a line outside.

I was recommended to visit Yanagibashi Market. It's a market packed with fishmongers. I found a restaurant where you can eat seafood bowls. The seafood bowl was full of ingredients and incredibly fresh and delicious. I learned that Fukuoka has delicious seafood too.

On the second day of my business trip in Fukuoka, I had lunch by myself at Koga Sengyo-ten. The location is about a 5-minute walk from Watanabe-dori Station, inside the Yanagibashi Rengo Market. Koga Sengyo-ten is a restaurant attached to a fish market, as the name suggests. It is a rare shop in the market that also offers evening drinking options. I arrived around 11:10 and entered through the entrance on the dining side. The interior was bright and clean. There were about 20 seats, including counter seats and tables. There were no other customers at the time. I sat at a table for 4 by myself. The table was equipped with soy sauce, sauce, chopsticks, toothpicks, and wet towels. After being seated, I was asked if I wanted hot tea or water, and I chose water. The main dishes were seafood bowls and set meals. The mixed fry is also recommended, but this time I ordered the Big Seafood Bowl for 1,600 yen. The Big size has 1.5 times the amount of rice and seafood. There is grated yam between the rice and seafood, so if you don't like it, make sure to mention it beforehand. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes, accompanied by two small side dishes, seaweed soup, wasabi, and sesame sauce. The seafood was fresh and thickly sliced, with a decent amount and variety. I enjoyed it with wasabi soy sauce and sesame sauce. Koga Sengyo-ten is a place where you can enjoy a quick seafood bowl or set meal. The attentive service also left a good impression. Definitely worth a visit!

One morning breakfast during a trip to Fukuoka♪♪♪ I walked through the city to the restaurant to work up an appetite. Fukuoka is known for delicious seafood, so I was excited☆彡 Fresh fish with plenty of tasty rice, it's a luxurious start to the day (ﾟдﾟ)ｳﾏｰ♪♪♪♪ Thank you for the delicious meal.

I originally had a specific restaurant in mind, but it had a long line so I ended up at this place instead. There are several seafood restaurants in this market which is convenient. I wanted to eat a seafood bowl but in Fukuoka, seafood bowls tend to be just white fish, so I decided to go with the "tuna bowl" for 1,100 yen. My wife, unusually, chose the "seafood bowl" for 1,100 yen. We also ordered the "oyster fry" for 1,100 yen. The oyster fry comes in sizes of 3 to 5 pieces (we got 3 large ones). The tuna bowl had 9 thick slices of sashimi as promised. It was quite satisfying. On the other hand, the seafood bowl had more variety than expected with tuna, shrimp, and salmon. I wish I had chosen that instead. This restaurant wasn't as crowded as the others but there was still a short wait. I would like to come back to the Yanagibashi Rengou Market again.

It's the season for delicious fish. I can't resist wanting to eat fish, and I recently had a fantastic seafood bowl at a dining hall inside the Yanagibashi Rengou Market. After that, I found another seafood restaurant within the same market. I want to try their seafood bowl as well, but I was too full that day. The location is Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. The market is like a kitchen for Fukuoka residents, with various shops inside. It's fun to look around. However, the parking fees in this area are high, so it's not easy to visit casually. Still, I know a cheaper parking lot in a slightly distant location, so I can go there. When I arrived around 11 am on a weekday, the small restaurant was empty. I sat at a cheap table seat and ordered the seafood bowl with grated mountain yam for 1100 yen including tax. The amount of rice was not asked. The bowl had white rice topped with grated yam, but no shiso leaves were visible. It included seared horse mackerel, salmon, sea bream, marlin, yellowtail, and fatty tuna. The fatty tuna and ark shell were served as one piece each, with chopped seaweed on top of the sashimi. The thickness of the sashimi was pleasing, and it was served with a special sesame sauce that was slightly sweet. I added soy sauce and enjoyed the freshness of the fish, which was freshly prepared by a fish store. Eating the marlin with sesame sauce surprisingly tasted delicious. I ended with the fatty tuna and ark shell. I was a bit surprised by the pickled conger eel in the side dish, which was a rare dish. Another side dish included pickled cucumbers, bean sprouts, and carrots. Up to this point, the dishes were perfect. I tried the clear soup, but it tasted like it had artificial seasoning, so I stopped drinking it. It might have been just my imagination, so please don't mind it. Overall, I enjoyed the seafood bowl, which allowed me to taste the freshness of the fish purchased that morning at the Nagahama Market.

This is a restaurant located in a fish market called Yanagibashi. Half of the shop is a fish store, while the other half is a restaurant. You can enter from the arcade side of the market or from the Sumiyoshi-dori sidewalk on the other side, which is interesting. The restaurant side is facing Sumiyoshi-dori, but I wanted to experience the market atmosphere, so I entered from the arcade side. It was around 2 p.m. on a Saturday, and I was able to get a seat right away, luckily. This place is popular for its seafood bowls. I prefer to focus on eating my favorite fish, so I chose the tuna bowl (9 pieces). It was served on a tray with seaweed soup, grated yam, and a small piece of tofu. I passed on the grated yam and just added soy sauce to the tuna bowl. The thickly sliced tuna was delicious. The sea grapes were also enjoyable. The soy sauce was the regular salty type, which was fine since we were eating fresh fish from the market. The rice was average in taste. The tofu had a good texture and was tasty. The seaweed soup was average. Although it looked like a tuna bowl with its ingredients, the bowl itself was the size of a regular rice bowl at home, so I finished it quickly. The fried food menu also looked delicious. If I have the chance, I would like to try it as a set with the tuna bowl.

I was curious about the natural tuna bowl set at Koga Fish Store in Yanagibashi Market, so I decided to have it for lunch. It comes with grated yam as well. The tuna was fresh and had more volume than it appeared. My friend tried the fried horse mackerel, but it seemed mediocre.

With a history spanning over 100 years, the Yanagibashi Rengou Market, also known as the kitchen of Hakata, is a bustling marketplace. Unlike a wholesale market, it is more like an off-market similar to Tsukiji. About 50 shops line a 100-meter arcade, offering fresh seafood and prepared dishes that anyone can easily purchase. One such shop is "Koga Sengyo-ten," where you can enjoy seafood bowls made with fresh seafood from their own shop. The seating area is located towards the Sumiyoshi-dori side, and it is often crowded during lunchtime, with many female customers. The menu is displayed on the wall, and upon entering from the Sumiyoshi side, you may notice a signature from TOKIO's Matsumoto-san near the first table. I ordered the seafood bowl for 1000 yen, which included six types of fresh fish that day. The bowl is smaller compared to other shops, but the salmon and chu-toro were delicious with a rich flavor. The sesame sauce with melted wasabi added a great touch. I was pleased to have a clear soup instead of miso soup. Next time, I will try the limited edition tuna bowl!

With a history of over 100 years, the Yanagibashi Rengou Ichiba Market, also known as the kitchen of Hakata, is not a wholesale market but more like an off-market similar to Tsukiji. About 50 shops line the 100-meter arcade, offering fresh seafood and side dishes that can be easily purchased by the general public. I visited "Koga Sengyo-ten," where you can enjoy seafood bowls made with fresh seafood from their own shop. Although you can enter from the market side, there are seating areas on the Sumiyoshi Street side. I decided to sit at the counter since the tables were filled with young female tourists. Although I was initially hesitant about ordering the limited "natural tuna bowl set" as it was already past 1:00 PM, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was still available. I opted for the large portion of tuna, which had a firm texture, deep red color, and a refreshing taste, likely from southern bluefin tuna. The generous portion of about 12 thick slices, each weighing over 20g, satisfied my appetite. The fine, moist texture and delicious flavor, along with the addition of grated yam, made it a truly satisfying dish.

When I used to live in Fukuoka, I would go to Yanagibashi Rengou Ichiba at the end of the year to get all the ingredients for ozoni. However, recently I haven't been making ozoni at home, so I decided to at least buy some round mochi and experience the New Year atmosphere of Kyushu. I was thinking of leaving without lingering, but I was drawn to the seafood bowl at Koga Sengyo-ten, and after contemplating for about 10 minutes, I decided to have it for lunch that day. I had been curious about it for a while. It seemed like I could enter from the market side as well, but I went in through the entrance facing Sumiyoshi Street. The table seats were full, so I was led to the back (market side) and seated at the counter along the wall. The seafood bowl had thick slices of yellowtail, salmon, sea bream, tuna, and squid piled on top, and I enjoyed dipping them in soy sauce or pouring the special sesame dressing over them. The sesame dressing was quite rich, and they actually sell it separately. I asked for a smaller portion of rice, but I ended up quite full in the end.

I went to Yanagibashi Market and had a sashimi set meal! I was exploring Hakata after a business trip. I wanted to visit Yanagibashi Market, so I walked there from my hotel. The bakery I was looking for was closed, so I was hungry. I decided to try this place on a whim. I wasn't expecting much since it seemed to cater to tourists, but I'm sorry! The sashimi here is delicious! For 1200 yen, I'm satisfied with this quality. Local people were also enjoying the sashimi here, saying how tasty it is. The slices are thick and grilled, like the mackerel. Everything is fresh! The menu is also extensive, and I would like to try more dishes. Thank you for the meal ♡

I saw a tuna bowl on Instagram and it caught my attention! The bowl comes with side dishes, grated yam, and soup all for only 1,000 yen! I couldn't resist getting the extra large size, which costs an additional 500 yen! The tuna in the bowl was more of a lean cut rather than fatty, but at this price, I can't complain. The rice was delicious and the fish was fresh and tasty, as expected from a seafood restaurant!

It's been a while since I had a Saturday off! I don't really want to go out on weekends because it's crowded, but today I feel like going outside for a change. So, I decided to go eat some fish for a change, and I ended up at Koga Sengyo-ten in Yanagibashi Rengou Ichiba. They have various types of lunch sets, and I've been wanting to try it out. When I arrived around 1 pm, there was one seat available at the counter. I sat down and looked at the menu, and I saw they had a limited edition tuna bowl! I asked the staff if they had the tuna bowl, and they said yes. I wanted to order some other dishes as well, but I decided against it because I didn't want to be too full to move later. While waiting, my tuna bowl arrived. It was served in a slightly larger teacup with akami (lean tuna) and chutoro (medium fatty tuna) packed inside. It also came with grated yam, seaweed soup, and a side dish. I first tried the tuna with soy sauce and wasabi. The akami was refreshing, and the chutoro was fatty and melted in my mouth. Perfect for a hot and humid day. Recently, there has been a trend of all-you-can-eat tuna bowls, but for a guy like me who can't eat that much, this portion was just right! I then poured the grated yam over the rice and mixed it with the tuna, and it was a great combination. The seaweed soup was also refreshing and tasty. The amount was just right, and I left satisfied. They also have seafood bowls, eel rice bowls, thick fried horse mackerel set meals, and they all looked delicious. Since it's not a place I visit often, I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to go back again. Thank you for the meal.

The most satisfying seafood bowl I've ever had! The photo shows the "Special Seafood Bowl" with fatty tuna, sea urchin, salmon roe, squid, salmon, crab claw, sea bream, and amberjack - a luxurious bowl where each bite offers a different flavor like a treasure chest. (The menu said 7 types, but there were actually 8, lucky me! haha) I've never had so much delicious and rich sea urchin in one dish before. I highly recommend trying this seafood bowl.

My son wanted to eat delicious fish, so we went to Yanagibashi Union Market on Saturday. It felt a bit quieter than usual on Saturdays, a bit lonely. There are tuna shops, horse meat shops, and the usual seafood bowl shop inside, but we decided to try this place that we had never been to before. It's a restaurant run by a fresh fish shop that opened relatively recently along the Jonan Line. My son wanted the natural tuna bowl for 1000 yen, and I was in the mood for fried horse mackerel, so I hesitated but ended up getting the mixed fry set for 1000 yen. I didn't take a photo, but the natural tuna bowl was small. It's like a slightly larger regular rice bowl. It's fine for women, but it seemed a bit small for a growing boy. They also offered additional sesame amberjack, and I ended up sharing some of my rice from the set meal with my son. Leaving aside the volume, the fish was very fresh and shiny, indicating its deliciousness. The fry also made me very happy. The horse mackerel fry was crispy and matched well with the rice. In terms of volume, I think the seafood bowl shop inside Yanagibashi might be better. It all depends on the situation. Oh, on the way back, I bought three delicious sashimi packs inside and enjoyed a sashimi set meal in the evening. It's nice to visit Yanagibashi Union Market once in a while. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the Koga Sengyo store that I had been curious about. It was just before lunchtime, and I was seated at a table for four, which I felt sorry for. I later noticed that there were counter seats at the back, and other customers who came later, such as a group of two, sat there, so I regretted not sitting there. The order arrived without much waiting time! [Ordered items] -Seafood bowl ¥1000 -Fried horse mackerel, one fish ¥700 with tartar sauce on a separate plate. The seafood bowl had a small bowl, but it was filled with a variety of seven types of fish! Scallops, sea bream, salmon, yellowtail, tuna, squid, and ark shell were all thickly sliced and the satisfaction of eating was high, so it was worth ¥1000. The sesame dressing was served separately in a dish. Although there was seafood bowl sauce on the table, I didn't use it because the sesame dressing was delicious. It came with grated radish and miso soup (with seaweed). I was satisfied and happy with this meal. The fried horse mackerel, priced at ¥700 for one fish, was also very voluminous and worth it. The fried horse mackerel was delicious too! Thank you for the meal.

I had the fried horse mackerel set for lunch the other day. You can enter the restaurant from both Oodori and Yanagibashi Union Market. There is a hand washing area separate from the toilet, and they also provide mask cases, which is a nice service. Additionally, the staff diligently disinfects the doorknob at the entrance. Now, about the fried horse mackerel, it was very delicious. The fish was thick and tender, and the batter was crispy. It's no surprise since it's a fish market, there was no fishy smell at all. The bonus sesame amberjack was also really tasty. I first learned about eating sesame mackerel in Fukuoka, and this is the amberjack version. It's delicious even when eaten with something other than sashimi soy sauce. Fukuoka is amazing. The seaweed soup had a rich broth, and the macaroni salad side dish was also delicious. The roasted green tea was surprisingly tasty as well. The staff were all very friendly, and I highly recommend this restaurant. Next time, I'm thinking of trying the fried prawn made with prawns from Amakusa and the chawanmushi!

During the second state of emergency, the operating hours are until 3:00 PM for lunch and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM for dinner. Takeout is also available. The Oofunato-produced freshly peeled oyster fry set meal costs 1,000 yen. It tends to sell out during lunchtime. It was very juicy and delicious, so I highly recommend it.

Starting from October 1st, they will also offer dine-in options at night. This time, I ordered the Amakusa shrimp fry set meal for 900 yen, which I had been curious about during the day. As you can see in the photo, the heads and legs of the shrimp are crispy and fried to perfection. I pour an appropriate amount of tartar sauce over the shrimp and take a big bite starting from the head! It's irresistible. You wouldn't get this kind of shrimp fry set meal for 900 yen with imported Black Tiger shrimp, that's for sure! It might be unique to the Koga Sengyo fish market at the Yanaibashi Union Market.
