We made a reservation for four people at 6:00 pm on a holiday and went to the restaurant with another couple. We started with edamame, fried potatoes, fried chicken, and a few skewers of yakitori. After that, we were able to choose from the all-you-can-eat menu. The red sausages were a nostalgic taste and very popular. The drinks were refilled quickly, so we were satisfied.

The restaurant is a 2-story building with a counter and one table on the first floor, and a tatami room on the second floor. The yakitori is reasonably priced and the menu is extensive. One thing that caught my attention was the Ebi Chili... I wonder if it really is Ebi Chili? The Ebi Tempura itself was delicious with a crispy batter, but the chili sauce tasted more like a spicy ketchup. The yakitori, especially the pig's feet, were easy to eat and delicious!

When I entered the restaurant, there were still leftovers from the previous customers on the table, but when I asked if I could sit there, they politely asked me to wait a bit and then let me in. I remember the döner kebab being delicious. If it's just a regular döner kebab, I might prefer this place. I forgot to take a photo. It cost 1430 yen for one person.

Today, I visited Kurume in May 2016, near the cultural district. The food here is still delicious, with a wide variety of menu items besides skewers. It is recommended for those who want to try different dishes. And overall, it is quite affordable. The food comes out quickly, which I didn't notice last time I came. It might be better to order little by little instead of all at once. I had a delicious meal again today. Thank you for the feast! (^_^)

Located along the Culture Street and near Sanbonsan Park, this yakitori restaurant is run by a friendly and lively team. They offer affordable prices and have both counter and private room seating available, making it suitable for individuals or groups. I happened to stumble upon this place while heading to another restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised by the energetic atmosphere inside. The staff were welcoming and I quickly ordered a few skewers, as well as a dish called "zuruzuru". The food was delicious and served promptly. Overall, a great place to enjoy yakitori at reasonable prices.

Ranfu video Cute staff explaining the charm of the shop... Mama is shy, isn't she? http://mickey-web.net/liberta/shop/?m=watch&uid=1098&vid=3229 Kurume Yakitori Song DVD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCV8QwS3wbo Thank you for visiting the pilgrimage. When I showed the pilgrimage notebook for the second visit, I received a turmeric drink as a gift. Okra, quail, enoki bacon roll, eringi, each for 150 yen. The master allowed photo shooting in the kitchen, which was nice. The staff is lively and cheerful because the master is bright. The atmosphere is great. I was happy to see the Yakitori Song DVD on the shop's PC. I gladly paid 1050 yen for the next pilgrimage visit. I visited for the pilgrimage. This is the 5th place today, so I can't eat much, is that okay? When I asked, they said it's fine to just have one yakitori. Those kind words warmed my heart and showed the kindness of the shop owner couple. I sat at the counter and ordered tea as a drink. I ordered enoki bacon, negima, and pork belly. The enoki bacon was delicious, absorbing the essence of bacon. Negima was a long time since I had it in Kurume. In Tokyo, it's common, but in Kurume, it's rare. The pork belly was well cooked and juicy. The master asked if I drink turmeric. If I do, I can either drink it here or take the powder home as a gift, for only 500 yen. I felt grateful. The Kurume Pilgrimage project is part of the Kurume revitalization. Just having people come to Kurume is enough. I want to support this kind and smiley shop. "Lose some to gain some" was exemplified by the Kurume merchants.

I visited the restaurant with my child. As soon as we entered, the staff kindly guided us to the second floor, saying "if you have a child with you...". The atmosphere of the restaurant was very inviting and seemed delicious. I was surprised by the low prices on the menu. I had the impression that restaurants with low-priced skewers would have higher prices for individual dishes, but here, everything was reasonably priced. The drinks were also very affordable! The taste of the food was very satisfying. The portion sizes were also surprisingly generous for the price. The best dish was the skirt steak. The only thing I didn't quite like was the Negima (chicken and scallion skewers) because it tasted like fried chicken. As we left, it was snowing, and the staff kindly reminded us to be careful not to slip. I will definitely visit again soon.

Fukuoka Prefecture's Kurume City is the third largest city in Fukuoka and the birthplace of tonkotsu ramen. There are many food stalls in Kurume, and besides tonkotsu ramen, yakitori is also famous here. I would like to introduce a restaurant that I used to frequent when I lived there. It's called Ranfu, located near the drinking district. You can easily spot it from the outside because of the huge red lantern. If you are visiting for the first time, it might be better to take a taxi as the taxi drivers know the place. Since it's in Kyushu, there are mainly sweet potato shochu, but don't worry as they also have various other types of alcohol like highballs. The owner, the owner's wife, and the staff are friendly, so if you want to chat, I recommend sitting at the counter on the first floor. The second floor has tatami seating where you can gather with 5 or 6 people. You can order yakitori by the piece, and you might be surprised by the cheap prices, as they are all under 100 yen. The fish is also delicious. They offer a variety of salads and side dishes, making it a great place for dinner. Soft drinks are also available for those who don't drink alcohol, so no need to worry.

When I went on a business trip to Kyushu, a friend who used to live in Kyushu told me that Kurume City is said to have the most yakitori restaurants in Japan, so he recommended a place that serves delicious yakitori. The restaurant is located near a drinking district park, with red lanterns outside making it easy to spot. The first floor has a counter and table seating, while the second floor has a space where you take off your shoes and sit on cushions. It's a bit cramped but cozy. The yakitori starts at 60 yen per skewer with around 30 different types available. They also offer other dishes like appetizers, rice, salad, and noodles. I ordered skewers of tsukune, cheese bacon, cartilage, liver, and chicken sashimi. The skewers are served hot and ready to eat right away. The cartilage is crunchy and the tsukune is rich and satisfying, perfect for stimulating your appetite. They mainly serve sweet potato and barley shochu, being in Kyushu, but they also have a variety of highballs. If you ever visit Kurume, I highly recommend this restaurant for its reasonable prices.

When it comes to Kurume, it is said to be famous for yakitori (grilled chicken skewers). As a yakitori lover, I wandered around without deciding on a specific place. I saw a few yakitori signs, but the atmosphere seemed a bit intimidating for women (seemed to be mostly older men), so I was about to give up when I found this restaurant. We were guided to the second floor, where we took off our shoes and sat on cushions between wooden planks. We were seated at a four-person table for just the two of us, so it was okay, but it might feel a bit cramped for four people sitting cross-legged. Now, the menu had around 25 types of yakitori ranging from 90 yen per skewer. In addition to yakitori, there were various other dishes such as appetizers, rice dishes, stir-fries, Chinese dishes, and pasta. Despite being a yakitori place, it had a pub-like atmosphere, so I didn't have high expectations at first. We ordered chicken meat, heart, tsukune (chicken meatballs), and chicken sashimi. The yakitori was thin and had a slightly rich seasoning, all cooked perfectly and delicious. We also ordered additional items like chicken cartilage, gizzard, and enoki bacon rolls. We had about 10 skewers of yakitori and a few other dishes before paying the bill, which came to around 2300 yen per person. They also offer all-you-can-eat and drink options for around 3000-4000 yen, which might be convenient for parties. On a side note, the waitress was cute, and a neighboring college student kept trying to flirt with her. She handled it smoothly though (laughs). It was delicious, and I was satisfied with the cost performance.

We visited this charming restaurant located across from Sanbomatsu Park for an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink course with my colleagues from work. It seems to be famous in Kurume for delicious and incredibly cheap yakitori. We were amazed by the wide variety of menu options, generous portions, and great value for money. The counter was bustling with regular customers, creating a lively atmosphere. The chef and staff were all very friendly, and we ended up staying longer than planned. It was a truly comfortable and welcoming restaurant! I will definitely be coming back soon.

Kurume is said to be the birthplace of yakitori, and there are plenty of delicious yakitori restaurants. While creative and stylish yakitori is nice, I still love the standard yakitori! So, I went to Ranfu in Hiyoshi-cho with my colleagues. The exterior gives off a vibe of "THE izakaya," which is great. On this day, we didn't go for a course meal, but ordered several skewers and side dishes. In addition to skewers, they also have a good selection of appetizers! Among them, my favorite was the "Zuruzuru." It had okra, yam, natto, and egg on top, perfect for those who love slimy textures. And, the best part is that the alcohol is cheap! Basic shochu, as well as premium shochu, are very affordable! My favorite Akatombo was only 490 yen. This place is perfect not just for dates, but also for gatherings or just having a drink.

I was surprised by the variety of menu items at this yakitori restaurant. And all the menu items are cheap. The shochu is only 300 yen, and chu-hai, cocktails, and soft drinks come in beer mugs, which was surprising. It's very reasonable. I thought it was just a counter-style place, but apparently they have several private rooms, and they will reserve a room for you if you make a reservation. The atmosphere of the restaurant is bright, and I ended up staying longer than I intended. There are also party courses with all-you-can-drink starting from 3000 yen, so I plan to come with my friends next time. It's definitely worth a visit. Since then, I have come to eat here many times, but this time I made a reservation for the 3500 yen course with all-you-can-drink for four people. Sashimi, chicken tataki, salad, small dishes, iron pot gyoza, karaage, shrimp chili, fried rice, of course yakitori, and more, we couldn't finish it all and had to take the leftovers home. Ranfuu is amazing. This time, I ordered the 3000 yen all-you-can-eat and drink course. I was extremely satisfied. This time, I visited a new restaurant that opened nearby. The atmosphere was completely different from the main store, with private rooms. We reserved the entire place for our group and had a great time.

This is my fourth visit. This time, I visited as part of a gourmet tour of Kurume B-class cuisine. First, I received a stamp, and surprisingly, was told that I could choose between a turmeric drink or a soft drink as a service, so I decided to take the turmeric drink on my way out. I ordered a sashimi platter of 3 items for 680 yen, and a Caesar salad for 580 yen. The salad was surprisingly large, too much for one person to finish. Then I had some yakitori and my stomach was full. As always, the menu is extensive and cheap. Lately, I haven't been going to any other yakitori restaurants but here.

I am a regular customer. I prefer the first floor because I enjoy chatting with the friendly master, his wife, and the staff. The second floor is cozy for groups of 3-6 people, and the atmosphere is inviting. The first floor is a traditional yakitori restaurant, while the second floor is more like a private room-style izakaya. It gets busiest between 7-9pm, even on weekdays, so I recommend making a reservation. The prices are very reasonable, and the portion sizes are generous. For groups, I suggest ordering a course menu to avoid over-ordering. They have a great selection of rare shochu, such as Maou and Akakirishima, at affordable prices. They also have the popular Yakushima sweet potato shochu "Miyama" available.

This was my first time going to a restaurant with a large group of friends. We decided to have a small class reunion and ended up at Ranfu. The prices were reasonable and they had a variety of rare shochu which made it enjoyable. Despite us being a big group, we were seated in a private room on the second floor, allowing us to have a great time without worrying about bothering other customers. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. There were many regular customers at the counter, and I enjoyed chatting with them while drinking. I would like to challenge myself to sit at the counter alone once I get more comfortable.

The alcohol was delicious (*´﹃｀*)
