At the command of my senior colleague, we went to drink at a place near Hakata Station. The restaurant is located in a building basement on a street a little away from Hakata Station. The staff welcomed us warmly from the moment we entered. The restaurant mainly has private table seats, with many available. It was full on the weekend. We started with beer and some appetizers. The sesame mackerel was consistently delicious. The grilled leeks with miso were sweet and made for a great snack. The straw-grilled mackerel had a lot of fat, giving it a delicious flavor when combined with the straw aroma. We also tried the lemon sour, which was served with frozen lemon instead of ice. It melted quite quickly, but was refreshing. The recommended dish that day was the filefish, which had a lot of liver. It was delicious, especially when eaten with liver ponzu. The restaurant's famous dumplings were also delicious. It would be great for a large group. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant was spacious and lively, but honestly, I was not satisfied with the quality of the food. I'm sorry! First of all, I was shocked that there was no live squid sashimi that day! I knew that it's not always available, but... The sashimi also seemed a bit mediocre.

This place is great for company parties. The long table can seat about 16 people, which is convenient. The atmosphere is always lively as we often drink in large groups. The main dishes are fresh sashimi and motsunabe (tripe hot pot). Although the menu is limited, it offers a taste of Hakata. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The group was large so we opted for the 6,500➡︎5,000 yen set which was a good deal. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't choose our favorite items since it was a set, but it turned out to be unnecessary to worry. Everything was delicious and even included fresh squid, which was a nice surprise. The fact that they even provided Shirataki noodles was great. The restaurant was quite busy and the staff seemed to be working hard. Thank you for the service.

I used the course without a pot. The squid from Yobuko was also in stock. Overall, the taste of the dishes is good. The cost performance is also high. It was a farewell party, so we received a message plate service for two people for free, which was quite exciting. However, the room was small and crowded, which was a bit of a downside.

■Overall Impression I went there to have a light drink. Since it was just a casual outing, I ordered a regular drink. However, everyone ended up drinking quite a bit, so the bill almost reached 4000 yen. Be careful, as it can add up quickly if you don't keep track of how much you're spending. Just a heads up for future visitors! ■Smoked Assortment Plate This is the only photo I managed to take, and the angle is a bit off. I'd like to try making smoked dishes at home, but it seems like a bit of a challenge. Thanks for the meal.

I came here because I wanted to eat fresh squid sashimi! They served a clam hot pot as a starter, which had a gentle flavor with a rich broth. I was worried that the squid might be sold out, as it has happened before, but luckily they still had some today. The texture of the live squid sashimi was definitely different and delicious! The grilled beef tripe in the motsunabe was also very tasty and chewy. The staff provided great service, so I will definitely come back again!

■ Overall Impression I have been to the Nishijin branch before, but this time I visited the Hakata Station branch. The private room is perfect for a group of about four people. The attention to detail is impressive. ■ Caesar Salad This was the first dish that came out. It's definitely a classic for a drinking party. The dressing is delicious. ■ Asari Clam Hot Pot This is the highlight of the meal. I personally love having hot pot in the summer. It's like having ice cream in winter. ■ Assorted Smoked Dishes One of the highlights at the Nishijin branch was this dish. The flavor of smoked dishes is irresistible. Although I don't plan on having a smoker at home, I would love to enjoy it outside. ■ Eggplant with Spicy Cod Roe Spicy cod roe might raise your cholesterol levels, but it's so delicious. I don't usually eat cod roe at home, but I enjoy it occasionally outside or on bread. Also, I wonder why it's served with mustard (I prefer the regular version). ■ Assorted Grilled Chicken Skewers These are large-sized grilled chicken skewers, so you have to take them off the skewers to share. I personally prefer when they are served individually on skewers. Overall, there are many delicious dishes, making it a great restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited a restaurant near Hakata Station for a party. This place is great because they have private rooms and all-you-can-drink options for individual orders. The appetizers are perfect for drinking with sake, especially the straw-grilled dishes. The place was lively and almost full when we arrived at 7:00 PM on a weekday. You can now order from your table using your smartphone, so I ordered a beer and some appetizers. Here is what we ordered: - Hamaguri clam hot pot (400 yen) x4 - Specialty Hakata sesame mackerel (1,290 yen) - Assorted sashimi (1,690 yen) - Choice of 3 rare delicacies (990 yen) - Assorted 3 straw-smoked dishes (990 yen) - Grilled stingray fin (590 yen) - Seared raw bluefin tuna with straw smoke (1,590 yen) - Charcoal-grilled Hakata red chicken (990 yen) - Assorted grilled vegetables (890 yen) - Pork belly skewers (490 yen) x4 - Individual all-you-can-drink for 120 minutes (2,000 yen) x4 We ordered rare delicacies like Changja, octopus with wasabi, and pickles, and for the straw-smoked dishes, we had quail, cheese, and mentaiko. My personal favorite dish is the seared raw bluefin tuna with straw smoke. It has a unique smoky flavor that goes perfectly with beer. Another must-order dish is the assorted straw-smoked dishes, especially the quail and mentaiko. These two dishes, along with the all-you-can-drink option, are enough to enjoy a great time. The charcoal-grilled red chicken and pork belly skewers allow you to adjust the flavor to your liking with salt or sauce, which is a nice touch. We stayed until closing time and had a fantastic party. I will definitely use the private room and all-you-can-drink option again in the future!

I visited a restaurant in early summer, where I enjoyed a course of 10 dishes including live squid, beef harami, and swordfish, all for 5000 yen with all-you-can-drink. The interior was like a maze, and I was guided to a private room with a sunken hearth where I could relax. The food was delicious, especially the live squid sashimi which was sweet and crunchy. The drink service was quick and stress-free, making the whole experience very enjoyable. As the organizer, I was very pleased and would love to visit again for another party. The course included various dishes like clam and Itoshima vegetable stew, assorted sashimi, sesame mackerel, live squid sashimi, grilled beef harami, swordfish with summer vegetables, tempura, chicken rice cooked in an iron pot, miso soup, and seasonal dessert.

Hello, this is Tatsutora (@tatsutora6). Even though there are frequent declarations and cancellations of a state of emergency in Fukuoka, the day I visited was not during a state of emergency. It has been difficult to visit izakayas and other places serving alcohol due to the current situation, but I chose a day when there was no state of emergency to visit this time. The restaurant is a seafood izakaya called "Aburi Robata Sanko" with several locations in Fukuoka, and this time I visited the one near Hakata Station. The restaurant mainly serves seafood, and it offers many private rooms which are reassuring during the pandemic. It is also easily accessible, just a short walk from Hakata Station. It's a restaurant that is easy to visit even during this time, making it convenient for anyone. It will be useful for drinking parties even after the pandemic is over. You can also make reservations online. Aburi Robata Sanko Hakata Station is also very welcoming to solo diners! Perfect for drinking parties in Hakata!

Inside the restaurant The restaurant is located on the basement floor, and there is a clear sign near the restaurant. The stairs leading to the restaurant. As soon as you go down the stairs, you can see the entrance. We had made a reservation for this day, so we were able to enter smoothly, but the restaurant was quite busy with many customers. There are about 170 seats in the large dining area, including counter and table seats, but there are also many private rooms where you can feel at ease. We requested a private room when making a reservation, so we were guided to a private room. We visited as a group of two, but the private room seats were spacious and comfortable. There was also a message on the table. Mainly seafood menu Here is the menu. Since it is a seafood izakaya, sashimi and grilled dishes are the main items. The sashimi is said to be freshly delivered from Itoshima. There are also other dishes such as side dishes and yakitori. Of course, there are also drinks including alcohol. However, on this day, we ordered a course meal, so I will introduce that. The course meal we ordered This time, we ordered the "Sanko Introduction Course" (4000 yen per person with all-you-can-drink using a coupon). Here is the menu for the course, quoted from the internet. [Chopsticks - First] Sanko's specialty Seafood Hell Cooked [Vegetables] Whole fruit tomato soaked in Itoshima-grown soy sauce [Specialty] Fukuoka Prefecture! Morning-shredded Kanpachi with sesame soy sauce [Fresh fish] Two kinds of fresh fish sashimi from Nokita Fishing Port [Live dish] Live spear squid directly from Yobuko, Saga Prefecture [Robata] Hakata Sanko's robata grilled meat and vegetables, Hakata red chicken charcoal-grilled, charcoal-grilled morning-picked Itono vegetables [Fried dish] Tempura of spear squid and Itono vegetables [Vinegar dish] Black pork cold shabu-shabu with miso ponzu sauce [Meal] Charcoal-grilled eel with chin soup tea pickles [Chopsticks - End] Today's dessert Quoted from: [Drinking party] Sanko Introduction Course Live squid, red chicken charcoal-grilled, eel 10 dishes with all-you-can-drink for 5000 yen → 4,000 yen | Aburi Robata Sanko Hakata Ekimae (Izakaya) | Hot Pepper Gourmet As the name suggests, this course is recommended for first-time visitors. First, beer. It's been hard to drink outside lately, so it tastes even better. First, an appetizer. The appetizer "Sanko's specialty Seafood Hell Cooked" is actually clam. There is also a stove, so you can warm it up yourself. It's a unique appetizer, and the clam broth is also very flavorful.

Today, I worked in Fukuoka while being conscious of preventing the spread of infection in the new style of life. After work, I went out to eat with some colleagues. We visited a restaurant in the basement of a building in front of Hakata Station for the first time and had a drink-all-you-can course for 4000 yen including tax in a private room. The course included the following dishes: [Appetizer] Clam simmered in hell [Vegetables] Smoked salmon and Itoshima vegetable salad [Sashimi] Three kinds of fresh fish of the day [Live sashimi] Live squid sashimi directly from Yobuko [Hot pot] Winter Chinese cabbage and three-layer pork shabu-shabu [Charcoal grill] Charcoal-grilled Hakata red chicken [Fried dish] Shrimp and mackerel tempura with miso sauce [Tempura] Tempura of squid and seasonal vegetables [Rice dish] Hakata-style kashiwa rice [Soup] Fisherman's soup [Dessert] Chewy shiratama and sweet red bean paste with soybean flour coating. By the way, the bottled beer for the all-you-can-drink option was Asahi. The dishes were of good quality considering the cost performance. Perhaps due to poor squid fishing, the squid sashimi was only half. The dessert was not quite to my liking. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I had a drinking party with my colleagues in Hakata! We decided to drink near Hakata Station, where everyone can easily gather, and chose a restaurant recommended by a junior colleague... The deciding factor was the option for all-you-can-drink on individual items! Since we have a lot of heavy drinkers, the individual all-you-can-drink option was very convenient! We ordered mainly dishes that could be considered as snacks since some members don't eat much when drinking... The menu included: - Clams cooked in broth (400 yen) - Hakata-style spicy cod roe (690 yen) - Grilled octopus leg (990 yen) - Assorted pickles (690 yen) - Night-dried Arita chicken (790 yen) - Smoked herring roe (690 yen) - Smoked grilled onions (590 yen) - Grilled stingray fin (490 yen) - Individual all-you-can-drink for 3 hours (1,200 yen) The clams served as the appetizer were cooked in broth right in front of us, which was irresistible for drinkers... It was already a great start! My personal favorites were the "grilled spicy cod roe" and the "smoked grilled onions," both with a nice smoky flavor from straw grilling... Overall, the dishes were a good match for alcohol (especially sake), with fish, meat, and vegetables all being consistently delicious! Despite being near the station, the prices were reasonable... This restaurant seems like a good option for future drinking sessions in Hakata! I will make sure to take more photos on my next visit!

We wanted to eat kawahagi sashimi, so we went with two people. We ordered the "GoTo compliant individual platter" which included saury, spear squid sashimi, and three-layered pork shoulder loin, totaling 10 items for 5000 yen, discounted to 4000 yen with 2.5 hours of all-you-can-drink. We also added a live kawahagi sashimi to our order when making the reservation. The kawahagi sashimi was delicious, but the grilled saury was also tasty.

The all-you-can-drink places around Hakata Station seem to be all the same and not that great. It's fine for me since I don't eat much when I drink anyway. But as the night goes on, it takes longer for them to bring the drinks. Thank you for the meal.

This time I was on a business trip to Fukuoka. I searched for squid and found this place called Aburi Robata Yamao Hakata Ekimae near the station. It's about a 5-minute walk from Hakata exit. I arrived and it was quite lively, with many customers. We were seated in a private room. We toasted with beer and then ordered the squid we came for. The restaurant served us a clam soup as a complimentary dish, which was rare and delightful. And then the squid arrived!! It was delicious. Mission accomplished!! We also ordered some smoked octopus as an extra. Thank you for the meal.

Close to Hakata Station, we visited this restaurant. Despite it being early in the week, the place was packed with parties by 6 pm. Hakata is bustling, impressive. We chose to sit at the counter and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff were all energetic and friendly. It was mentioned on the menu that the person in charge of grilling at the counter was from Nepal, adding to the international charm of Hakata. We were served clams in a flavorful broth as a starter, with the option to order a shabu-shabu dish using the same pot. The live turban shell was a highlight, served with liver soy sauce. It was amazing and went well with drinks. The grilled salmon with salmon roe was generously portioned and delicious. The garlic butter grilled turban shell was another standout, especially paired with baguette. Every dish we tried was a hit. A great dining experience overall!

Hello, this is Ebizo! Today, I will be providing a spontaneous update. I used this restaurant for dinner on the second day of my expedition to Hakata. The restaurant is located on the basement 1st floor of a mixed-use building about a 5-minute walk from Hakata Station. Upon entering, you take off your shoes and enter the establishment. The interior has many private rooms, with counter seats available on the right side. It was a weekday when I visited, and there were already several groups of guests having a great time in the private rooms. It seemed like many reservations were made, judging by the number of names on the shoe lockers at the entrance and the efficiency of the staff. The dishes I ordered included clams (appetizer), straw-grilled tuna sashimi from Tsushima, grilled salmon and salmon roe, sashimi of horse mackerel, buttered eringi mushrooms, garlic butter grilled turban shells, and dried Arita chicken. One highlight was the clam appetizer served in a pot, which was a pleasant surprise. The seafood-centric menu featured specialties like the straw-grilled tuna sashimi from Tsushima and the grilled salmon and salmon roe dish. The recommended "horse mackerel" was prepared by filleting a live fish from the fish tank upon ordering! The experience of eating horse mackerel with liver soy sauce was truly unforgettable. The restaurant offers various sizes of private rooms, making it suitable for both large group parties and intimate gatherings. For those organizing company parties, take note of the dedicated shoe lockers for group events at the entrance. Whether you are looking for a private room for a group party or a cozy spot for a small group, this charcoal-grilled izakaya is a great choice!

First, when I sat down and ordered a beer, a tabletop stove and a large pot of clams were set in front of me with the announcement, "Here is your appetizer, clams!" What a luxurious appetizer. Of course, with clam broth in the pot, you can drink alcohol with this soup... I was deciding what to order while enjoying this setup, and then the menu using the broth from the clam appetizer was introduced. Tai Shabu - using clam broth for tai shabu is such a luxury. I couldn't resist ordering it. I also added Ito tofu from Chikuzen to the pot. I didn't add any vegetables, but it was fine since I was drinking, and I could eat other things, so it was better that way. I was curious about the mackerel yukhoe, so I ordered it. The sesame mackerel was often eaten in Fukuoka, so I had high expectations for the mackerel yukhoe. It was like yukhoe, with egg yolk on top, and I enjoyed mixing the vegetables, egg, and raw mackerel together. The Umazurahagi swimming in the tank in front of me was also on the daily recommended menu, so I ordered that as well. There was a large liver included, and I made a liver soy sauce with plenty of liver and wrapped it in the hagi's meat, which was undoubtedly delicious. Since we had only fish dishes, we also ordered the grilled spare ribs. Then, a huge portion came out, and I was surprised. Fukuoka truly has a high level of cuisine. And the prices are not high either! I envy the people living in such a delicious city.

What I learned in Fukuoka is that having a fish tank means you can enjoy fresh fish. This place also has a fish tank, so you can enjoy transparent squid. The Hamaguri clam appetizer can be ordered as a hot pot and eaten as shabu-shabu, making it a luxurious yet casual dish! This time, I tried the sea bream shabu-shabu. I highly recommend adding the Itojima-produced tofu, which is rare! The menu mainly consists of robatayaki grilled dishes, with a variety of sashimi and other dishes available. The spacious tatami room was hosting a large banquet, making it perfect for New Year's parties or year-end parties. For the organizer struggling to find a venue, I think this place is great! As for the food, the portions are generous and offer good value. The fish, meat, and vegetables were all excellent! It's rare to find a place where all the ingredients are delicious. They also have a wide selection of drinks, including liqueurs made from Kyushu fruits, so even non-drinkers can enjoy. It's a versatile restaurant that everyone will enjoy. I plan to use Yamao-san for a company gathering next time!

On the last day in Fukuoka, I went to Yaki-Robata Yamao Hakata Ekimae in front of Hakata Station. It was very crowded! Oh, you also have to take off your shoes here. I chose a counter seat. I'm glad I made a reservation because it was so busy! In front of me was a live fish tank! I ate squid here! The appetizer here is steamed clams in a small pot. You cook the clams in the pot with the broth and then enjoy them as shabu-shabu. I also ordered some Kanpachi shabu-shabu, but I was tempted by the Tai shabu-shabu for 900 yen per serving. It was so fresh! I go to Shikoku every year, but this was the best. And the cost performance was good too. The clams were also amazing! I had live squid sashimi from Yobuko for 1200 yen per 100g. It was moving just a while ago! I followed the advice from the previous day and added lemon to confirm it was fresh. I also added tempura for an extra 300 yen. I also had some sashimi for 300 yen. The black one is squid ink! The squid is coated in tempura batter mixed with squid ink and then fried. It was my first time eating something like this! The vegetables were pumpkin and eggplant, and they were delicious too. The skewer assortment for 990 yen included Sagari, Butatan, and Butabara. Eating delicious food while staring at the live fish in the tank was the best. I had shochu to drink, as expected. For the finale, I had charcoal ramen, which was a lot but delicious, so I finished it all! It was so tasty! It was a lively restaurant with good cost performance and delicious food.
