On this occasion, I ordered the usual seaweed salad and yam teppanyaki. I also ordered the unusual sukiyaki. People from Hakata might imagine that sukiyaki includes chicken, but here it was just meatballs. If you order based on that expectation, you might be disappointed, but the taste is delicious.

I have visited this izakaya near Niita Station more than 10 times. I always order the sashimi platter and the grated yam on hot plate. The grated yam here is very delicious. I only have photos of onigiri on my Instagram story, as I screenshot them. The onigiri comes with miso soup and is a great deal.

This area is a place I often go for work, but there are no good food shops. While thinking this, I searched for each shop one by one. I will have to keep coming here in the future. I finally found this shop by asking locals. It is very well-kept around here. The kawahagi sashimi is delicious. The Thai tea is also delicious. The broth is good. I will definitely come back again next time. (^^)

In Iizuka, one of the few delicious seafood-focused izakayas. You can enjoy a wide variety of dishes. The only downside is that the drink service is a bit slow, but the food is really delicious even after taking that into account. This is the place to reserve when you want to have some delicious sashimi nearby!

The seafood izakaya lives up to its name with incredibly fresh fish. We started with a sashimi platter, grilled salted horse mackerel, simmered flounder, steamed clams, fried whale meat, ginkgo nuts, and rolled omelette, leaving us full and satisfied. We paired it all with cold sake, Kubota, and Kitaya. The fresh fish paired perfectly with the sake, and I enjoyed a solo drink at the counter.

On the last day of work, I had a wonderful time with a luxurious sashimi and beer toast. The sashimi was fresh and I would love to go back again.

Third visit. Visited with family the other day because we wanted to eat raw kawahagi (filefish)… When we made a reservation over the phone, it seemed like there weren't many seats available, so we were okay with sitting at the counter. However, when we arrived, they had prepared a private room for us, although it was a bit small. We quickly placed our order. I had asked when making the reservation if they had kawahagi sashimi in addition to the assorted sashimi, and they confirmed, "It's a bit larger, is that okay?" I replied, "Of course." We also ordered whale sashimi and squid tempura. We ordered beer and juice while waiting for the dishes. The assorted sashimi arrived first. It was delicious as expected. Next came the kawahagi. We all eagerly tried it with the liver and exclaimed, "Delicious!" Everyone couldn't help but say it out loud. The fish here is especially tasty!! We were very satisfied alternating between beer and bites of food. Suddenly, I looked at my child and saw a displeased expression. "The glass smells fishy again," they said, as they drank the juice straight from the bottle. Last time we visited, the glasses had a strong fish smell, and even the ice that came with it smelled fishy, causing a very unpleasant experience. This time too… the fish is fresh and delicious, and the cost performance is high, but it's a shame!! The whole family agreed, "If only this wasn't an issue, everything would be perfect."

There are many delicious foods in Iizuka, which has a history of coal mines. Skilled craftsmen gathered in Iizuka during the prosperous coal mine era, so you can enjoy delicious sushi and dishes surrounded by mountains. One such restaurant is the one my uncle took me to the day after my eye surgery. The food was excellent, even though I couldn't drink alcohol due to the surgery. The restaurant is apparently run by a former judo student of my uncle, and the dishes were not only delicious but also affordable. It was a bit cramped and noisy, but for those who don't mind the noise, it's a great izakaya. I want to apologize for something - my camera's SIM card was missing, so I couldn't take good quality photos. I had to use different cameras to take a few photos, and it took me a while to retrieve the data and post this review. I really wanted to share this amazing place with you. The blowfish sashimi, sesame mackerel, and whale meat were all incredibly delicious. I became a fan of the restaurant after trying their dishes for the first time. I will definitely visit this place again when I stay in Iizuka. The whale meat platter offers various cuts to enjoy, and the blowfish sashimi is fresh and generously portioned at a reasonable price. The sesame mackerel is also a must-try. Fukuoka truly has amazing food!

This is a popular izakaya near the Iizuka City Hall. It is always crowded, so reservations are a must for large groups. The standout feature of this place is the high cost-performance ratio of their course meals. August 2011 - We used it for a summer gathering, similar to a New Year's party. This time, there were fewer people. We were served a platter of whale sashimi, which was quite tasty. The sashimi was a good deal as usual. We also had eel kabayaki, perfect for summer. The fried chicken was cooked just right. We ended with grilled rice balls, which were delicious. We enjoyed them with draft beer and highballs. Once again, we were impressed by the high cost-performance ratio. February 2011 - We used it for a large New Year's party. After the appetizer, we had a platter of sashimi, with large slices. It was a good deal for the price. Then, we had blowfish sashimi, with a generous portion for each person. The grated radish was average, but the dish was satisfying. The tempura platter was delicious, with a typical selection. The hotpot was a sukiyaki style with plenty of ingredients like minced fish, oysters, and meat. We added udon noodles to finish it off. It was served with ponzu sauce with yuzu pepper, which was tasty. Ordering individual dishes can be pricey, but the cost-performance ratio of the course meals is excellent. It's highly recommended for gatherings in this area.

It was my first visit in several months! The sashimi was still fresh and both sashimi and grilled dishes were delicious. Especially the "live Kawahagi sashimi" with its creamy liver, dipped in vinegar soy sauce with grated radish, is incredibly delicious. The balance of taste and price is excellent, surpassing even fugu and flounder in terms of cost performance. The "live squid sashimi" is also delicious, and it's great that the tentacles are cut for easy eating. The sensation of the suckers sticking is addictive. Of course, the tempura and salt-grilled dishes are also excellent. The "sesame mackerel" is fresh, the sauce is tasty, and highly recommended, although the portion size is a bit disappointing. This restaurant truly offers fresh, affordable, and delicious food, and I highly recommend it. However, it is a popular place, so reservations are a must. It is best to order the three mentioned dishes when making a reservation. For example, depending on the group size or availability, arriving early at opening time may still result in items being sold out. Therefore, visiting during the second round of service may lead to the three mentioned dishes being sold out. One thing to note is that when stating a party of two during reservation, there is a high chance of being seated at the counter. While this is fine, it can quickly lead to a congestion of dishes on the counter. Despite efforts to vary the height of the plates, with a mix of sashimi plates, individual dishes, and drinks, it can get crowded. Lastly, when making a phone reservation, it is recommended to do so before opening time, as calling after opening may result in slightly impatient responses due to the staff's busy schedule. I visit this restaurant regularly a few times a year. I always aim to try the "live Kawahagi sashimi," "live squid sashimi," and "sesame mackerel," but due to fishing conditions and customer demand, it's not always possible to enjoy all three. The side dishes, hot pot, skewers, and chicken wings are also delicious. However, for some reason, the fugu sashimi and eel are disappointing.

It's been six months since my last visit, but even on a weekday, the restaurant is almost full! Truly a popular spot. This time, I had assorted sashimi, whale meat sashimi, conger eel tempura, grilled local chicken, and Thai tea ochazuke. Delicious!

This is a restaurant that specializes in fish dishes. The fish dishes are very delicious and reasonably priced. The sashimi, in particular, is recommended for its freshness. The restaurant has tatami seating and can be used for drinking parties. Since it is often crowded, it is better to make a reservation by phone.
