You can enjoy oyster huts and seafood barbecues all year round in front of Hakata Station. It is a business area with many old-fashioned izakayas and yakitori restaurants, but there are few shops for women in the Hakata Station area. This stylish seafood izakaya with a terrace is located in such an area. It looks like a cafe in Paris at first glance (laughs). It seems that the store and menu have been renewed since my previous visit for a seafood bowl lunch. Currently, it is open only at night. There is also a terrace with a barbecue grill, and it can be reserved for private parties. You can also enjoy it as a beer garden or beer terrace (all-weather type). This time, we went inside the store with a fish tank. There are counter seats and various types of table seats. Although it is an izakaya in the station area where there is an image of many salarymen, there are many young women and couples here, creating an atmosphere similar to Tenjin, Daimyo, and Nishi-dori areas. As it is a seafood izakaya with a fish tank, with creative and photogenic dishes, it is suitable for girls' gatherings, dates, and tourists from other prefectures or overseas. This time, I am with local friends, but since everyone lives far away, the organizer chose this place near Hakata Station for easy access. Cheers with draft beer or non-alcoholic beer! Surprisingly, the appetizer was clam soup. Personally, I prefer solid snacks, but it's good for the body, right? It also eased the hunger in my stomach a bit. There is a grilled seafood course with all-you-can-eat oysters available all year round, but this time we ordered a la carte. Assorted sashimi platter with 7 varieties. It's enough for about 3 people. The 3D presentation seems to please the girls. There is also Hakata's famous sesame mackerel. There are various styles of sesame mackerel, but this one had sesame sauce on it. The flesh was firm and it was the most delicious sashimi. After all, Hakata's sesame mackerel is a classic! By the way, there is also a menu for Hakata's regional dish, "game-ni" (simmered chicken and root vegetables). In the salad section, there was also a Hakata gobo tempura salad (laughs). You can order using the touch panel on the table. As there are many Asian foreign tourists in Hakata, there are also English and Chinese options. This is a salad. Crab miso Caesar salad. The croutons are planted in a pot, and romaine lettuce and crispy cheese are planted. Pour the creamy dressing with a hint of crab miso flavor and enjoy it by crushing it heartily. And then, a barbecue set served on a plate stand like an afternoon tea! It is a seafood assortment called "Hamayaki King Set." Although there is not one type for each person, unlike a real oyster hut, you can enjoy BBQ as a snack. Of course, there are additional grilled seafood a la carte menu items. We decided who would eat what with rock-paper-scissors while grilling on the table stove. In the meantime, there was a happening where a lively shrimp jumped and escaped from the table! Just like a campfire or a hot pot, gathering around the fire livens up the atmosphere. The oysters from Hyogo, the Harima Sea, which can be eaten all year round. The strong flavor of the sea and a small amount were satisfying. What was paired with the milky taste of the oysters was the original cocktail "Pakuchi Apple Yogurt." The pungent flavor of coriander is subtle, making it easy to drink. If you want to fully enjoy coriander, try the "Saga Takeo coriander bomb" from the salad menu. I had been going to meat bars a lot recently, but fish is delicious too! Since today's group includes young women, we ordered the classic "live squid sashimi" for business dinners when out-of-town guests come. It's sweet and crunchy and delicious! The lower legs and entrails can be grilled or deep-fried later. This time, it's tempura. It goes well with seaweed salt. We also ordered Uni Carbonara, which women would like. It's called "Uni Carbonara made with foam." The staff in front of you covers the pasta with a Uni board in foam. Actually, this is a cold pasta. The texture is like melted ice cream.

Hey there, it's Hokumori! Lately I've been craving seafood for some reason! Well, it's delicious so why not, right? Haha. Thanks for the meal. #Fukuoka #Hakata #Yakiniku #Yakitori #Meat #Sake #Sashimi #FukuokaGourmet #Gourmet #Dinner #Rice #Lunch #FoodPorn #Izakaya #Smile #Delicious #Stylish #Foodie #HomecookedMeal #FullStomach #Fun #Yummy #Recommendation #Foodstagram #Delicious #ThankYou

I think there aren't many places in the city that serve grilled oysters. Although they are not in season, the oysters were quite delicious. The cake for dessert was also tasty! You can choose your favorite seafood multiple times and have refills as long as it's within 75 minutes. It's reasonably priced and there is plenty of food. We enjoyed eating lots of oysters and drinking.

I had been curious about the all-you-can-eat oyster place for a while, and I finally got the chance to visit. I chose the option that includes all-you-can-eat oysters and all-you-can-drink for 120 minutes for 2980 yen. The oysters included both grilled and raw ones. They started me off with 5 raw oysters and about 20 grilled ones. The oysters were surprisingly large and the raw ones were plump and delicious. The grilled oysters were also cooked to perfection. They provided lemon juice, ponzu sauce, soy sauce, salt, and chili pepper on the table for flavoring. With the all-you-can-drink option, I enjoyed some drinks while eating the oysters and ended up eating a total of 55 oysters (25 raw, 30 grilled). This was the first time in my life that I ate so many oysters. During happy hour, raw and grilled oysters are only 99 yen each, so I think I got my money's worth. However, the grill for the oysters is small, so if you have a group of 3 or more, it might take some time to cook and eat them all. I saw some people dining alone, so it seems like a comfortable place for solo diners as well. I highly recommend this place for those who want to enjoy plenty of oysters!

A while ago, I heard from a friend about a seafood izakaya where you can enjoy grilling seafood like clams and oysters on a small gas stove placed on the table. It's located a few minutes' walk from Hakata Station in a somewhat lonely area, but easy to find. The must-order item is the popular "Oyster Belly Set," which includes grilled and raw oysters all-you-can-eat. They even bring a personal stove to the counter for you. I started with a platter of shelled oysters and two raw oysters, and as soon as my drink arrived, I slurped down the raw oysters and ordered 10 more. You can order as many grilled or raw oysters as you want, and I must have had at least 100 grilled oysters because I had to exchange the bucket for shells five times. The raw oysters were properly counted, and I had about 30 of those. There's a two-hour time limit, but I was able to enjoy it thoroughly until I was full. Thank you for the feast!

Cheap Lunch #Isokko Shoten Hakata Store {Hakata Station East, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City} On November 7, 2021 (Sunday), I went to Isokko Shoten Hakata Store. This place is located near the joint government building at Hakata Station Chikushi Exit. There, they offer a surprising lunch for only 390 yen including tax. Looking at the menu, they have Fisherman's Stew Donburi, Karaage Donburi, and Curry Rice for 390 yen. They also have other affordable lunch options. This is the weekly changing rice bowl. Except for the second edition, all are priced at 390 yen including tax. I ordered the weekly changing lunch, Pork Miso Donburi for 390 yen (tax included). It came with miso soup and simmered hijiki seaweed as a side dish. The Pork Miso Donburi consists of pork, onions, and green onions. The rice portion was quite generous, and it had a decent amount of volume. The flavor of miso and pork was delicious. It was a very satisfying and cheap lunch near the station. Address: 2-10-16 Hakata Station East, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. Closed on: None

Visited Nagoya, Matsuyama, Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and back to Nagoya on a 1-night, 2-day business trip on July 20, 2021. On the first night, I was intrigued by the all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink option at Iso-kko Shoten and visited with 4 colleagues. Each person had to order one item each, so we ordered tomato, octopus tempura, edamame, and salad. The all-you-can-eat menu included scallops, clams, shishamo fish, fish cakes, shrimp, and oysters. You cook them on a stove and eat them with soy sauce or lemon juice. The total cost per person was 5800 yen, which is a bit pricey in terms of cost performance.

I wanted to eat sesame mackerel and squid, so I visited this outlaw restaurant. It seems that they have regular hours until 25:00, not closing at 9:00. There were many groups of customers, but I was able to sit alone at the counter with social distancing, which was reassuring. I was hoping for the punchy sauce on the sesame mackerel, but it was a bit light. I ordered a rock shochu with "Hyaku-nen no Kodoku" and "Mura-o", and it was a good value with plenty of alcohol. I left early after seeing the group having fun. Gotta be careful with COVID, right?

I used this restaurant for lunch last time, and this time I used it for dinner. I was surprised by how crowded it was on Sunday, haha. I ordered the oysters that I wanted to eat. I poured ponzu sauce on them, and they were so delicious! They have a happy hour every day (from 11:30 to 17:00? 18:00?) where you can eat one for 99 yen! They also have highballs and lemon sours for 99 yen, which is too friendly on the wallet. I asked the staff and they said that it's possible to enjoy happy hour while having lunch, so I will visit again soon! Thank you for the meal!

This 500 yen lunch is too hot! By making a reservation online for lunch, you can earn 500 GOTO points, so you can loop for free. The portion is also generous with free extra rice, so I am satisfied. Since my company is nearby, I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal!!!

Sashimi set meal with rice and miso soup. Thought it would be ordinary, but the soup had a strong fish broth flavor like at a sushi restaurant. Pleasant surprise. The bowl was small, but the rice and fish were delicious. Not enough rice though. The waiter seemed a bit slow, but polite. Overall, the experience was okay, but there were some other minor issues that made me hesitant to come back, despite the affordable prices. Enjoyed the meal while listening to old songs by Masaharu Hamada. Follow me on Instagram and Twitter for more food reviews.

Grilled food! All-you-can-eat! I was excited to make a reservation, but on the day, there was a mix-up at the restaurant and we ended up as a walk-in group. I was looking forward to it, especially since I had also ordered a surprise dessert. Unfortunately, the Caesar salad required an additional fee, which was disappointing. Despite this setback, we cheered and went to get seafood for refills individually. It was nice to be able to choose. The freshness was about 3.5 stars. I impulsively ordered a meat platter, which turned out to be the right choice. We enjoyed a BBQ-style grilled dish with chicken, pork, beef, and vegetables. We upgraded our drinks for an additional 500 yen and they were served promptly after ordering from the panel. The all-you-can-drink option in a full house was much appreciated. The total cost was around 5000 yen including tax. Although I tend to be lenient with my wallet and ratings at gatherings, I couldn't help but feel uneasy about the inconsistent service despite there being no discrepancies in the advertisement. Nevertheless, thank you for a fun time.

Tonight, I was in the mood for some meat, so I decided to explore the area near Chikushi-guchi that I've been really into lately. I wanted to go to "Niku no Okage" next door, but for some reason, I ended up at "Isokko Shouten." I still don't understand how this happened... I confidently walked in thinking I was going to "Niku no Okage," but when I sat at the counter and looked at the menu, it was all about "Isokko Shouten." Why did this happen? Where did I go wrong? The waiter was so quick to take my beer order that I was already in a situation where I couldn't back out... I later found out that "Niku no Okage" is like a sister store. There was only one entrance that looked the same, but the atmosphere on the right and left sides was different. Maybe the restrooms are shared...? I should have gone straight to the right as soon as I entered... The beer and appetizer arrived at the counter... - Appetizer: Sweet and Spicy Octopus (440 yen) - Draft Beer (638 yen) It was unexpectedly over 1,000 yen... it's pricier than I thought... I couldn't decide on what to order, so I went for the "Recommended" section on the tablet... - Assorted Tempura (638 yen) I don't particularly like shellfish or shellfish, so I chose tempura to play it safe... The tempura arrived after 15 minutes of waiting! It was a generous portion, and it seemed to have fish tempura! I was relieved that there were no shrimp! The fish tempura was moist and tender, without any fishy smell, and it was delicious! It was served with salt, dashi, and grated daikon, which was great... This might be unique to Isokko Shouten... I found a gem... I used a coupon from Tabelog to get a free beer, but the overall prices were a bit high, especially with beer costing over 600 yen... it might be even more expensive than bottled beer at a food stall... However, if you combine it with the all-you-can-drink option, it's worth it! Next time, I'll go for the all-you-can-drink option to make the most of it! I'll definitely revisit when I'm in the mood for fish again! *Additional note: I asked the staff on my way out, and indeed, there was a separate entrance. There was a door next to it... It's a bit tricky at first glance...笑

I went on a business trip to Hakata and found this restaurant on Tabelog, so I made a reservation! Four of us girls visited the restaurant. The cost performance was great. We chose the 3,000 yen all-you-can-drink course, and we were worried about the amount of food, but we were full and satisfied with the delicious dishes.

I feel like going casually~ I'm a girl who gets excited about robatayaki and stuff like that (๑° ꒳ °๑) When I entered the restaurant, there was a fish tank near the entrance ♡ I'm looking forward to the squid I'm going to eat now ♡ as I walk to my seat. There was a coupon on Tabelog that included a 500 yen all-you-can-drink option, which is a blessing for those who love alcohol haha. It was the last day of Golden Week and a holiday, but it seems like I was able to use it today because it said "Not available on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays" haha Lucky ( ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ) Well, first, the squid ♡ It was incredibly fresh, slimy, and sweet! And it was so clear and beautiful ( ^^)♡ When shared between two people, surprisingly, it disappeared quickly! haha The leftover legs were grilled with salt, which was also good for snacking (*´ч`*) Lovely. Also, the bucket of oysters was a great deal!!! Around 1000 yen for 8 pieces! Wowwww Σ( ˙꒳​˙ )!? It's so cost-effective ♡ How nice, Hakata ⸜( ´ ꒳ ` )⸝♡︎ It's delicious, kind, and satisfying ♡ I'm happy (´౿`)♡ Just when I was about to finish, they brought out a small dish of clams, which was unnecessary hahaha The taste was bland! I wish it had come out after we finished drinking at least! hahaha

No matter how many times I go, it's always wonderful. This place is the number one seafood izakaya at Chikushi Port. The service, taste, drinks, and atmosphere are all excellent. It's reasonably priced, yet the craftsmanship is meticulous. And the comfort level is great. It's just so reliable. The sake goes down so easily that I can't even speak properly. I had a lovely time. Grateful every time!

On my day off, I searched for a place in Hakata Station where I could start drinking early in the morning. I found a place that offers all-you-can-drink at the counter starting from 3 o'clock. They serve a small appetizer and two dishes per person. The panel-style ordering system is modern. The all-you-can-drink option is quite good. The fish dishes are delicious as expected! I was pleasantly surprised by the salt-grilled and simmered dishes, they were exquisite. I will definitely be coming back to this wonderful restaurant. The aroma of the sea and the smoky flavor create a great atmosphere.

This is a seafood izakaya where you can enjoy a variety of dishes at reasonable prices. While seafood is the main focus, they also offer a decent selection of izakaya menu items such as chicken wings and beef tataki. It's a great place for couples as you can enjoy the atmosphere of watching seafood being grilled right in front of you.

Located right next to Hakata Station Chikushi Exit and the Government Office Building, this restaurant is famous for its robatayaki (charcoal-grilled) dishes. As soon as you enter, you'll see a tank filled with a variety of fish. The robatayaki and all-you-can-drink plan starts with ankimo (monkfish liver), followed by fugu (blowfish) tempura, grilled tachiuo (beltfish), and a luxurious lineup of scallops, squid, shrimp, and oysters. The smoky flavor from the charcoal grill adds a special touch to the dishes. During the year-end party season, the restaurant is bustling with groups enjoying the all-you-can-drink option, keeping the staff busy. The touch panel ordering system makes it easy to place orders. I would love to visit again when I want to fully enjoy a variety of fish dishes.

The other day, our meetup started at 12:00 pm with a visit to Salvatore Cuomo Market, followed by bowling, karaoke, and finally, we ended up at Hakata Isokko Shoten. This was my first time visiting this place, and I was excited to see that it was an indoor oyster shack-style restaurant where you can grill seafood like oysters. The interior was quite spacious with gas grills at each table offering oysters, scallops, smelt fish, clams, shrimp, and tempura. We reserved the Seafood Hamayaki All-You-Can-Eat with Oyster Shack Course including all-you-can-drink for 3,980 yen. We sat at a table in the back where we connected three 4-person tables to share one grill. We enjoyed dishes like seafood carpaccio, soy sauce-marinated oysters, rough-ground pork sausages, foil-grilled salmon collars, fried oysters, and grilled oyster rice balls. In between, we grilled and ate various seafood items like oysters, squid, tempura, and smelt fish. The oysters were a bit small but delicious, and the squid, tempura, and smelt fish were surprisingly tasty. It's a great place for those familiar with oyster shacks, as grilling and shucking oysters may be challenging for newcomers. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I would love to visit again as they offer a variety of other dishes and even a weekend sashimi buffet lunch.

A seafood barbecue izakaya known for its lively atmosphere. The sashimi platter included horse sashimi, which was a pleasant surprise. The seafood was indeed fresh, as expected in Fukuoka. Everything we tried was delicious. We also had grilled oysters and, though I didn't take a photo, they served live squid sashimi! This is truly a Kyushu specialty. They skillfully prepared the squid right in front of us, and the freshly sliced squid had a rich flavor. The service was excellent, and it was a wonderful restaurant. I would love to go back again!
