Today, I visited Umari, a popular izakaya with a wide variety of horse meat dishes, located at Hakata Station's Chikushi exit. I went during the weekday opening hours and the place was bustling with customers! There were many young customers as well. The menu has many visually appealing dishes, making it a great spot for couples on a date or for a girls' night out. Even older customers would feel comfortable here. The meal started with horse meat sushi, which got me really excited! Today, I indulged in a variety of horse meat dishes, including a sashimi platter, horse meat tartare with salt, and seared horse meat for sukiyaki. The marbled sashimi was incredibly delicious! Raw meat is truly the best. I believe this izakaya is a place where anyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy a satisfying meal. I will definitely visit again.

I came to Umari, a popular horse meat izakaya, about a 5-minute walk from Hakata Station Chikushi Exit. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a plush toy of a racehorse. On this day, I opted for the all-you-can-drink course menu, which came with a 3-hour time limit. I upgraded to the option where I could enjoy beer as well. I started with a horse meat bacon Caesar salad and a horse meat sushi platter. I also ordered the overflowing mashed potato fries, which were available at a special price for their 1st anniversary. I also had some White Horse highballs. The restaurant really emphasizes the horse theme (laughs). There were also various interesting posters on the wall next to our table. For the main course, I had a platter of horse sashimi with red meat, loin, and tendon, as well as horse meat tartare with egg yolk. I chose the horse meat shabu-shabu hot pot for the hot pot option, which was quite satisfying. Lastly, for dessert, I enjoyed a dish that featured horse meat. It was a great course that allowed me to savor horse meat in various ways, and I also had plenty to drink. Thank you for the delicious meal.

It was reasonably delicious! I was a bit hesitant because I saw some negative reviews, but the staff were friendly and the food was good. However, it didn't quite fill me up, so I felt a bit unsatisfied.

I decided to try horse meat on a whim and made a reservation at a cheap restaurant. It was a noisy izakaya and I wanted to leave right away. The horse meat was so tough that I couldn't chew it properly and my jaw hurt. The dirty stove for the hot pot was also a turn off. It wasn't for me, so I won't be going back.

I used this restaurant for a gathering with my friends. I made a reservation as soon as it opened, so I was able to enter smoothly without waiting. The sushi was served as a starter. The seared sushi was seared right in front of us at the table. The 3-piece assortment was also delicious.

The taste is delicious, but the service was terrible. We had a reservation for 5 people for a course meal, but we were seated at a table for 4 with only 4 plates. We had to ask for an extra chair as it was not provided automatically. There were not enough hangers, the storage space was small, and the drinks for the course took a long time to arrive. Even after 2 hours, some dishes were still missing. When the last order was taken, some dishes had not yet been served. When dessert was brought, they tried to take away our drinks, which was unacceptable. The service was unfriendly, and the overall experience was disappointing. The food was good, but I will never go back to this restaurant.

I went on a trip to Kyushu and visited Kumamoto, hoping to enjoy basashi (horse sashimi). However, due to time constraints, I ended up having basashi near Hakata Station. I found this restaurant and decided to visit. They served us appetizers, basashi nigiri, horse meat loin, and cherry blossom yukhoe. I got to eat a lot of horse meat dishes. The Kinko sesame mackerel was also delicious. I forgot to take photos, but they also had a drink-all-you-can plan where you could enjoy White Horse whiskey highballs in different sizes. It was a fun experience. I heard they have sister restaurants in various locations other than Hakata, so I would like to visit them as well.

I came to Hakata, a gourmet city, on a business trip! While strolling around near my hotel, I was drawn to a sparkling and colorful restaurant... I immediately knew it was a horse meat restaurant from the neon sign indicating horse and horse meat. The menu showed that you have to order the meat and side dishes separately! It might be a hassle for some people, but I found it fun. Plus, being able to adjust the amount of alcohol was a nice touch! The "Horse Meat Mass Assortment" for 29 yen was amazing! The "Geta Assortment with 5 Types" allowed me to enjoy various cuts. Kyushu is famous for horse meat, but I haven't seen many restaurants with such a variety of cuts. The "Rare Horse Liver Sashimi" was also unique and simply the most delicious. I love meat sushi, so being able to eat cuts other than red meat in sushi form was a delight! The "Seared Large Roast Sushi" is seared right in front of you! It lives up to its name as a large cut of horse meat. I also enjoyed the "Sesame Mackerel," a Kyushu specialty. The staff was very informative, making me think it was a new establishment. And the beautiful women of Hakata were a bonus! I will definitely go back!

During a business trip to Hakata, I visited this restaurant as it had just opened. Although it specializes in horse meat, the prices were reasonable. The opening event offered horse meat for only 29 yen and drinks at half price, which was amazing. Being able to order a super-sized lemon sour was also great. Ended up staying longer than planned, haha.

"Umari Hakata Chikushiguchi Store" is a new horse meat specialty restaurant that opened on 5/30 near Hakata Station Chikushiguchi in Hakata, Fukuoka City. Horse meat specialty restaurants are quite rare, right? How common are they nationwide? In Kyushu, horse sashimi is often sold in supermarkets and is commonly enjoyed as a special treat. However, it's rare to eat horse meat dishes other than sashimi. This horse meat specialty restaurant in Kyushu has impressed even locals who are used to eating horse sashimi. You can enjoy various horse meat dishes at a very reasonable price. Horse meat, which is tender and healthy without a strong taste, has a gentle texture unlike beef or pork. The secret to its deliciousness lies in the use of fresh meat that is delivered without losing its freshness. The meat, sourced from Kumamoto prefecture, is cooked while maintaining its freshness, resulting in a delicious meal. I tried horse sashimi, sushi, and steak, all of which were incredibly delicious. I also had horse meat bibimbap as a finale. The menu is diverse and innovative, ensuring you won't get bored. The restaurant is always packed with customers who appreciate the deliciousness of horse meat. Be sure to visit and enjoy the guaranteed deliciousness. I'm full! Thank you for the feast. * Until 6/18 (Sat), there is a special opening campaign that makes it even more affordable! For beautiful photos and videos, search on Instagram k.t.r.from_fukuoka."

The menu is extensive, with over half of it being horse meat dishes. For the first five days, the horse meat masu-mori is only 29 yen, which is a great deal. The restaurant is spacious with private rooms, making it convenient to use. I found dishes like horse liver sashimi and steak to be quite unique. Horse meat is low in calories, so there is less guilt. Personally, I enjoyed the yukhoe and had seconds. I think it's a good place to go for company gatherings or with friends. - Restaurant Information - Name: Umaru Hakata Station Chikushi-guchi Hours: 5:00 pm - 1:00 am Phone: 080-3593-0142 Price: Around 3,000 yen per person Closed: None Private rooms: Available Location: 2F East Gate Building, 2-10-12 Hakataeki Higashi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka For more details, search on Instagram ➡️ [ryoki.jp] Provided by: Ryoki Yoshida

This restaurant near Hakata Station is recommended if you want to eat delicious horse meat. When I went there for the first time, the staff were friendly and the horse meat was delicious. They have a variety of horse meat dishes that you can only try here. They really focus on horse meat, with about 70% of the menu featuring it. If you like horse meat, I definitely recommend giving it a try. Whether you go or not is up to you.

It was close to the station. It was on the second floor. Reservations are available.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very beautiful, and there were many items on the menu which made it difficult to decide what to eat! I have never been there on a regular day, so I am not sure, but I would like to go before they sell out of certain items!

Frosty★★★★☆ Lamp★★★★☆ Redness★★★☆☆ Potato salad★★☆☆☆ Grapefruit sour★★★★☆

The taste was good. With all-you-can-drink for 4,000 yen, it's a good deal. The horse meat sushi appetizer was excellent.

I wish it was non-smoking~ When I entered, I thought I went into the wrong store because of the cigarette smoke (lol). But both the horse liver sashimi and horse sashimi were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

During my first visit, I made a reservation for a course in Hakata. I am the organizer leading a group of 7 people. The day we visited was a Friday, so the restaurant was very crowded. I understand that they were busy, but I wonder if the staff are properly trained. I want to share my honest experience to help improve this restaurant. When we arrived at the restaurant 3 minutes before our reservation time, we were asked to wait outside. We waited until the exact reservation time and then entered the restaurant. However, the previous group of customers was still eating, so we had to wait a while longer. By the time they finished cleaning up, 20 minutes had passed since our reservation time. We were understanding, considering how busy they were. Finally, we sat down hungry, hoping to enjoy our meal. However, when the course dishes were served, they forgot to bring plates and chopsticks for everyone. Even after requesting them, we had to wait until the 3rd dish was served. When they finally brought the plates and chopsticks, there weren't enough for everyone, so I had to wait longer. There was also a shortage of horse meat sushi, which I had to ask the staff to bring. The alcohol service was slow, and we had to remind them several times. We noticed that the course seemed to consist mainly of horse meat, even though we had ordered a different course over the phone. The menus on different platforms showed different prices, so we relied on the phone reservation. The alcohol service was slow, and at one point, four staff members were cleaning tables while we were waiting for our drinks. It seemed like they were short-staffed in the kitchen. Finally, when we checked the bill, it was for 6 people instead of 7, indicating more mistakes by the staff. Luckily, our group was understanding, but I was concerned about making the farewell party enjoyable for the departing colleague. This experience taught me to be more careful when choosing a restaurant. With masks being lifted and the world slowly returning to normal, I understand that restaurants are very busy, especially on Fridays in Hakata. To survive in such a competitive market, attracting and retaining customers is crucial. Based on this experience, I don't think we will be returning to this restaurant. Thank you for reading my honest feedback.

It was cheap, delicious, and just right.
