First, we went to "Ayadori" near Hakata Station Chikushi Exit, and then decided to have a few more drinks, so we went to "Kisumimaru" on the 9th floor of Kitte Hakata. It's been about two years since I last came here. This restaurant offers a variety of Hakata's famous dishes and is very popular among locals and tourists from other prefectures. We usually eat things like sesame mackerel and motsunabe, but it seems they have also started serving Mizutaki. Despite planning to eat lightly since it was our second stop, we ended up ordering yakitori, sesame mackerel, Mizutaki, salted squid, gyoza, and more. Everyone was eating and drinking a lot. The sesame mackerel was delicious as always, with a nice firm texture. The Mizutaki was surprisingly good, with tender chicken and a delicious soup. It would make a great porridge with that soup! We talked about going back to the first restaurant next time and then parted ways. Thank you for the meal!

I think it had been about a year since I last visited. On this day, I went with my family and ordered set meals and side dishes. I chose a set meal where you can pick 2 main dishes, and I chose sesame mackerel and tempura. The sesame mackerel was fresh and delicious! My wife ordered a simmered fish set meal, and my kids ordered a salmon and salmon roe bowl and a motsunabe (tripe hot pot) set meal. At Happi Maru, when you order a set meal, you can eat as much mentaiko (spicy cod roe) as you want, so my kids were putting mentaiko in their motsunabe and enjoying it. It looked so delicious. Next time, I think I'll also try the "motsunabe set meal." However, I heard they recently started serving chicken sukiyaki as well, so maybe I'll try the "sukiyaki set meal."

The lunch menu had a "senbero" option for around 1500-1600 yen. The potato salad was average, the sashimi was okay, and the tempura set had decent quality. I saw young tourists enjoying motsunabe (tripe hot pot). Would the motsunabe be recommended? The target customers seem to be the younger crowd. My taste buds have become a bit picky, unfortunately. Thank you for the meal.

We tend to carry with us what happened in our childhood. But especially men, because they have been taught the wrong idea of masculinity, they cannot face their own emotions. Showing emotions is seen as a sign of weakness for men. I watched the movie "Creed" starring Michael B. Jordan. Adonis Creed decides to confront his hidden past. Glory built on someone's sacrifice. A soul purified through battles. The shining legacy of boxing passed down to his young daughter. Today, I went to Hakata Station. Tomorrow is the Oiyama of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa, so the atmosphere was quite lively. In the restaurant area of "KITTE Hakata 09F Umai To," I decided to try "Kisumimaru," a popular restaurant in Hakata serving local cuisine. I ordered the daily grilled fish set meal [salted mackerel] for 1,580 yen, which was a bit pricey for lunch, but I had some time and luggage, so I decided to give it a try. I placed my order using the self-service tablet and received the "salted mackerel" set. The aged flavor was rich and delicious. It came with a small jar of spicy cod roe and spicy pickled greens. I thought I might have overeaten, but I enjoyed topping the rice with plenty of spicy cod roe. It was a feast on its own. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. As expected, I soon felt thirsty. I need to be careful. Let's strive on the path ahead, and end without regret.

I went based on a recommendation from an acquaintance in Hakata. They said it was cost-effective, but I thought it was just average. I was surprised by how quickly the drinks were served. The food is delicious, especially the sesame mackerel. It's a treat that you can't easily find in Osaka, so it's one of the highlights of visiting Fukuoka. The motsunabe (offal hot pot) is also delicious. It's located right in front of Hakata Station, so it's perfect for those taking the Shinkansen.

I had a celebratory party with my fellow fans after the victory. It was so much fun drinking alcohol again and enjoying delicious sashimi and yakitori. The dishes were cute so I couldn't help but take a picture. Ordering with a tablet was convenient because I didn't have to raise my voice, and I could easily confirm what I ordered. Payment was smooth as the tablet divided the bill for us. I didn't realize they also serve lunch. I love Japanese food so I'm interested in the unlimited mentaiko (spicy cod roe) option, so I would like to stop by for lunch again when I visit Fukuoka. (Maybe the lunch menu at the downstairs location of the same restaurant is a good deal?)

On this day, I went to "Kisuiraku Maru," a popular restaurant in Hakata located on the 9th floor of kitte Hakata, for a company drinking party. I often go to Kisuitei with my family on weekends, and although it had been 2 years since my last visit, this was my second time here. We ordered a variety of dishes, including sashimi platter, sesame mackerel, yakitori, gyoza, and motsunabe. The sashimi was delicious, but the most surprising dish was the sesame mackerel. Everyone was amazed by the plump mackerel sashimi. The sesame sauce was also delicious. When we ordered quail eggs with the yakitori, they came with the shells still on, which surprised everyone. The crispy shells were tasty. The atmosphere in the restaurant was bright, and it turned out to be a very lively drinking party. I will definitely go back again.

Today, starting from the morning, cheers with beer with my mom friends! Found a Cheers Fair at Hakata Station. Now, where should we go next? Maybe we'll go to a different restaurant for lunch. We spent just one hour at this restaurant and ordered a set of two drinks plus sashimi and yakitori for 1500 yen including tax. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and delicious. Very satisfied!

I found this place because I was looking for somewhere to have a light drink due to time constraints. They said I could be seated right away, so I decided to go in. It seemed like a typical izakaya you can find anywhere. They had a wide variety of drinks. The sesame mackerel was delicious. I also enjoyed the sake.

This time, my friend's family came to Fukuoka to visit, so we had a meal at Kitte Hakata. We were undecided on where to eat, but my friend suggested "Kisumimaru," a place known for Fukuoka's popular dishes like yakitori, motsunabe, sashimi, etc. We decided to go there. I had been there once before. We wanted to sit at the table seats with a street stall atmosphere, but they were occupied. We ordered dishes like sesame mackerel, motsunabe, yakitori, crispy peppers, vinegar motsu, chapuritan, and more. The children especially enjoyed the chapuritan dish. All the dishes were delicious. My friend was able to enjoy Fukuoka's specialty dishes in one meal.

I visited "Kisumimaru KITTE Hakata Store," a popular local cuisine restaurant in Hakata. I decided to try this place while wandering around Hakata Station. I arrived at 6:00 pm and there were a few customers already seated. I was seated at the counter and looked through the menu. Although I usually love the "slightly tipsy set," I decided to try something different this time since I was in Hakata. I ordered the "Hakata sesame mackerel" and "bottled beer" (Kirin). The mackerel was delicious, especially with the sesame sauce. The portion was larger than I expected, and the mentaiko (spicy cod roe) was also tasty. I then ordered the "grilled chicken skin" and "wiener sausage" with salt, as suggested for beer pairing. The chicken skin had a sweet and savory flavor from the fat, which paired perfectly with the salt. It was delicious! To finish off, I ordered the "potato salad" before paying. The staff was friendly and used to tourists, making my solo dining experience enjoyable!

Fukuoka, which has lifted the state of emergency, had a friend visit from Osaka. We met at Hakata Station and I took them to "Kisumimaru," a popular local cuisine restaurant on the 9th floor of Kitte Hakata. The menu includes dishes like sesame mackerel, motsunabe (offal hot pot), yakitori, and street food, so it's a fun place for visitors from out of town. We started with sesame mackerel, tuna sashimi, and octopus, and cheers with beer! The mackerel was delicious and the tuna was fatty and tasty. We also had various yakitori, like pork belly, chicken skin, and gizzard, which my friend loved. Then we tried eel tempura and "chapori-tan," which is like chappon noodles with ketchup. The eel was tender and the chapori-tan was unique and tasty. Oh, we were so satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Before leaving Hakata, what should I eat for my last meal? Ramen? While saying that, I felt like having toriten and looked around inside the station. I decided to avoid nationwide chain stores and chose this local restaurant. The mackerel was sold out, but that's okay since I had it yesterday... I decided to go for a set meal instead. The price was reasonable, I guess. When the meal arrived, I was surprised by the portion size! It's definitely enough to fill up even a young person or a man. The taste was okay, I suppose. Maybe my taste buds have become more refined after coming to Hakata, which is why I felt that way.

I have changed companies now, but I went to Hakata with a senior colleague. We first went to a restaurant area in a building adjacent to the station for lunch. It was a late hour, so there were no customers, but we entered the restaurant we were looking for and ordered the sesame mackerel set meal. The sesame sauce was delicious, but the mackerel slices were surprisingly tasty. They also had unlimited servings of spicy cod roe, so I ended up getting more rice. The staff, whether intentionally or not, were very attentive and the atmosphere was very pleasant. It's been a while since I've been to Fukuoka, but I feel like I got off to a good start.

It's been about a year since I last visited this place. I think I came here with friends at Hakata Station before. This time, we came for a New Year's gathering. It's convenient to be able to go to the restaurant without getting wet, even when the weather is bad, like when it's cold or snowing. Places like Kitte Hakata, Amu Plaza, Kuuten, Deitos, etc., make it easy to hop between two or three places. On this day, my friends and I tried various dishes. We had Hakata sesame mackerel, fresh tuna, yakitori, chicken skin, pork belly, pig feet, gyoza, motsunabe, and of course, ramen. This restaurant has a variety of dishes, they're delicious, and it's easy to use. The atmosphere inside is lively, the staff is friendly, and it's a fun place to be. Thank you for the meal, I will definitely come back again.

At the end of the year, Hakata Station was really crowded and ramen shops all had long lines. I decided to try Kizumaru, which is known for its Hakata-style casual cuisine. I went for the sashimi and boiled fish dishes since the sesame mackerel set was sold out. The sashimi was delicious! The boiled fish had a rich flavor that went well with the rice. They offer free refills of mentaiko, miso soup, and pickled mustard greens, so you can have as much rice as you want. Fukuoka really has delicious food no matter what you eat. The shops in the station during the year-end and New Year period are very crowded, but Kizumaru is recommended as it has shorter waiting times and allows you to enjoy Hakata.

As expected, the cost performance is good, so there is a long line! The turnover rate may not be very high because it's all-you-can-eat, but you can understand why the line never stops because the taste is good and the service is good. The motsunabe I chose this time was the right choice! I was worried about the taste because it's low-priced, but it's delicious! You can choose rice or noodles, but of course, it's rice. The staff, who are generous, even said "You made the right choice!" The skin-on pork offal slices with mentaiko can be eaten as much as you like from the condiment on the table. The staff actively ask if you want seconds. Personally, I was so happy that the takana (pickled mustard greens) was all-you-can-eat. It's a restaurant where you can definitely have fun and eat to your heart's content.

This is my second time using this restaurant. Unlike the last time when there was a state of emergency, it was a bit crowded this time, but we were seated after a 5-minute wait even during lunchtime. I ordered the sashimi set and my companion ordered the motsunabe set. The sashimi arrived first, followed by the motsunabe which took quite a while. The sashimi set looked a bit different from the sample photo, which was a bit disappointing. This wasn't the case before, so I wonder if it's due to the fluctuation in seafood quality or the increase in prices affecting the service... However, I was satisfied with the meal as I could have extra rice with the mentaiko. My companion enjoyed the motsunabe despite it looking less appealing than the photo, as the offal was large and the taste was delicious.

On this day, after finishing a work meeting in the early afternoon, my colleagues and I went for a casual lunch drink at Kitten Hakata on the 9th floor of Hakata Station, where they serve popular local dishes. We tried the "Fresh Tuna Sashimi Platter" offered at Kitten Hakata's gourmet fair. It included lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, and fatty tuna. It was delicious! We indulged in luxury from the afternoon. Ordering a set meal also came with unlimited servings of "mentaiko" (spicy cod roe), which was a great deal. This restaurant offers a variety of Hakata dishes such as mentaiko, sesame mackerel, motsunabe (offal hot pot), yakitori, grilled chicken skin, pork belly, simmered offal skewers, and ramen. It's the best place to enjoy Hakata cuisine. I will definitely visit again. It's also a good option for company gatherings like year-end parties or welcome/farewell parties. The staff is energetic, so I look forward to returning.

I visited this restaurant on my way back from the Kyushu Sumo Tournament. I was excited to see that the serving plates had the names of sumo wrestlers on them. I had wanted to try the squid sashimi, but unfortunately it wasn't on the menu. However, the tuna sashimi that the staff recommended was delicious.

It's been a while since I had a solo lunch at KITTE. I decided to go for the seafood bowl as usual. Since it's spring break, the restaurant was surprisingly crowded, with a mix of young people, including elementary school kids. This seafood bowl had octopus in it. They had free mentaiko toppings, which added a nice touch. However, the freshness of the sashimi was a bit lacking. The portion size of the bowl was on the smaller side, so I didn't feel completely satisfied. Overall, it was just okay.
