During the Obon period, my relatives from Osaka came to visit, so I took them to "Hakata Yatai Yokocho Kisuimaru." They had expressed a desire to go to a yatai (street food stall), but since the nights in Fukuoka have been too hot this year, we opted for this all-weather, cool yatai instead. The restaurant was quite busy, possibly because it was during the Obon holiday, and there were many families with children. There were also quite a few foreign customers. One drink I wanted to try was their "Yatai Yokocho Lemon Sour," which looked beautiful under the lights. The jelly inside was mildly sweet and paired well with the sourness of the lemon sour. There were also non-alcoholic options, so the children could enjoy drinks too. We ordered several dishes: live squid sashimi, sesame mackerel, beef tripe hot pot, braised beef tendon, oden, and sushi. The atmosphere of the yatai combined with the opportunity to eat live squid sashimi and sesame mackerel made it a delight for everyone, especially those visiting from outside. Ah, the cool interior was very comfortable. Thank you for the delicious meal!

This is an indoor yatai (food stall) with heating and cooling systems, allowing you to enjoy the yatai atmosphere without worrying about the weather. Typically, yatai don’t serve raw items, but here you can enjoy sushi and sashimi, which is a huge draw. If you make a reservation for seven or more people, you can rent out the yatai, making it great for group use! 2. Besides the standard yatai menu, there's a wide variety of exceptional dishes available here. I focused on sushi and yakitori, and everything was extremely delicious.

In addition to sushi and yakitori, the menu includes tempura, motsunabe (beef tripe hot pot), water samurai (chicken hot pot), oden, and more, which is fantastic. 3. As expected from the Kisuitei group, I often visited Kisuiryu for lunch and knew the seafood was delicious, but the seafood here is on another level. They use fish delivered from the Fukuoka fish market every morning, and they can even prepare live sashimi! I had squid and mackerel as live sashimi, and I couldn’t stop saying how amazing it was until I finished eating— it was incredible! Treat yourself to a delicacy here. This place is recommended for a wide range of customers including friends, couples, and groups. I will definitely come back!

The squid was priced at 10,000 yen due to market rates, but I was very satisfied with the quality of the food. The other dishes were served quickly, and there were many items cooked right in front of me, making for a very enjoyable and delicious dinner experience. 😊

We visited the restaurant with a reservation for four people, specifically to try the fresh squid sashimi. We were very satisfied as we were able to enjoy the squid. However, since we went on a Monday, some items were sold out due to high demand over the weekend, so I would rate it slightly lower by 0.5 points. The atmosphere of the food stall was great, and the restroom was clean, which made our stay comfortable. The staff were also very friendly and lively.

Fukuoka's first indoor food stall! For lunch, you can enjoy seafood bowls, beef tripe hot pot, and water boiled chicken in set meal style, with all-you-can-eat mentaiko (spicy cod roe). You can also refill rice, noodles, soup, condiments, and fresh eggs for free. The menu is filled with famous Hakata dishes and a variety of à la carte options, making it perfect for those looking to enjoy a budget-friendly lunch while drinking. In the evening, there's also all-you-can-eat mentaiko as a side dish. If you reserve for 7 or more people, you can rent out the food stall, making it a great option for lively gatherings and parties! (*^ω^*)

On this day, we decided to have a family meal and went to "Kisai Maru" in Daimyo, a place the kids wanted to visit, known for its yatai (street food stalls). This was my second time at this restaurant; the last time I was here, we had an "all-you-can-drink course" for a party, but this time we enjoyed various "a la carte dishes." First, we toasted with an incredibly cold "draft beer." This beer was something else—super cold and delicious! It was probably the coldest beer I've ever had. After that, we had "live squid sashimi." Since there's a tank inside the restaurant, it's definitely fresh. We also tried "sesame mackerel" and "grilled mackerel sashimi." The mackerel was so fresh that the sashimi was incredibly plump. Next, we had "torikawa" (chicken skin skewers), a specialty of Hakata. Then came the "mizutaki," a famous Hakata-style hot pot. The soup was surprisingly delicious, and the chicken was from the Itoshima area. We also ordered "bite-sized gyoza," which paired perfectly with the beer. Having never gone to a yatai with my family before, we really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. It was a great restaurant experience. Thank you for the meal!

The shop had various stalls with different curtains hanging! But it didn’t matter which stall you chose, as you could order the same items from any seat! I ordered a visually stunning lemon sour through a QR code! There were all kinds of dishes available, such as sashimi, deep-fried items, oden, and even Western-style menu options! While the taste was average, the atmosphere was amazing! I would love to go back if I have the chance!

I was told it was an unlimited mentaiko (spicy cod roe) meal, but I couldn't eat that much. Even though I didn't eat a lot, the cover charge was high, which added up to a considerable amount. I wonder if the other dishes are expensive too... However, the interior of the restaurant has a fun yatai (street stall) vibe! There is a coin parking lot nearby, but it's a bit narrow, making it challenging for larger vehicles to park.

I visited this restaurant as my first stop this time because last year, I went there as my third stop while hopping between three places at the end of the year and didn’t get to enjoy much of the food. Last month, I brought my friend who had just come back from Tokyo, and he always wants to visit food stalls when he returns. However, this summer has been scorching! It’s tough to relax and enjoy a meal at the outdoor stalls in this heat. Fortunately, there are various food stalls in Fukuoka, but for a nice atmosphere like the ones in Tenjin, Nakasu, or Nagahama, this covered food stall alley is perfect since it’s cool and weatherproof. This time, we had live squid sashimi, sashimi, sesame mackerel, yakitori, and motsunabe (beef offal hot pot). It’s great that you can order motsunabe for just one person, and the beef offal is delicious as it's made from Wagyu small intestines! I got a bit carried away and ordered the illuminated "lemon sour," which changes colors beautifully. I had a great time enjoying a meal with my friend whom I hadn't seen in a while. My friend, who loves music, was thrilled as songs from Southern All Stars, Anzen Chitai, Mariya Takeuchi, Mikiki Imai, and Anri were playing. I plan to take him back again when he returns in the winter.

I enjoyed a lunch of motsunabe! Along with the motsunabe, I had rice and takana with mentai, and it was such a great deal to eat all of that for under 2,000 yen. The best part is that you can get a free champon as a final dish! This was such a pleasant surprise. Also, all the staff were really nice! I definitely want to go back. However, I noticed that those who didn't make a reservation were turned away, so if you're set on eating here, I recommend making a reservation in advance. Enjoy your trip and the delicious food!

Last night, I reunited with someone after over 15 years and enjoyed a drink together. We went to Kisuimaru. I was surprised when we entered; the interior looked like it was filled with multiple food stalls! The atmosphere was perfectly designed to mimic that of street vendors, making our long-awaited reunion even more exciting. We opted for a course meal, and what was great was that they served every dish divided into two small bowls, making it easy for each of us to enjoy our own portion. The appetizers, sashimi, grilled pork belly and skin skewers were delicious, and there were two types of oden (fish cake stew) among the variety of dishes served. For the finale, we had two pieces of sushi and a flavorful miso soup. The drink plan included all-you-can-drink options, starting with beer, followed by several mega highballs (around 3-4). It’s a convenient place for regular visits, where you can drink and eat well. And yes, I definitely enjoyed my drinks! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

As the title suggests, there are food stalls indoors, so you can enjoy your time comfortably regardless of the cold, heat, or rain. Since there's also a restroom, you don't have to worry about that. I didn't eat anything too extravagant, but I thought it was quite an interesting place. You can place orders using a QR code. The oden was delicious, but I wished it had been hotter!

I saw this restaurant on TV and had always wanted to visit, so I finally decided to go. I ordered the live squid sashimi, and although the restaurant was slightly smaller than the one I usually go to, everyone enjoyed their meal. The tempura was delicious, and I especially loved the dish that resembled camembert cheese, so much that I ordered more. The atmosphere of the restaurant felt like a food stall, and the tables were a bit cramped, which made it hard to take photos since we ordered a lot of dishes. The sashimi was tasty, as was the tempura. For drinks, I had a lemon sour with colorful jelly inside, and the flowers were edible.

This is a restaurant from the "Kisuitei" chain, which has various business types and multiple locations in the city. The atmosphere inside, resembling a "Yatai Yokocho" (street food stall alley), is quite enjoyable. I was drawn to their "seafood bowl" after seeing it on social media because I love photogenic food! ◆ Lunch Menu at the Store ◆ The interior has a street food stall vibe. Even though it was past 12:30 PM, it was surprisingly not crowded. ◆ The seafood bowl is the main goal of my visit. However, since I have a "saba (mackerel) allergy," I asked one of the male staff members whether saba was included before taking a seat. I was relieved to learn that the 1,290 yen "seafood bowl" does not contain saba. The staff kindly informed me, "We sometimes handle saba, so we will disinfect the cutting board before preparation." Unlike some places that react unfavorably to allergy concerns, I was pleased with their thoughtful response. They continued to show care throughout my meal, and I felt very comfortable dining there. Thank you! m(__)m I ordered... ◆ Seafood Taku Taro Bowl (1,290 yen) Wow, it looks great! The mentaiko (cod roe) and karashi takana (spicy pickled mustard leaf) were available for unlimited servings. You could also get extra rice for free! * Top view: I initially thought it was a small bowl, but it's a standard size with a good portion. (≧◇≦) * Side view: It looks even more photogenic from the side (laughs)! The center has plenty of tuna akami (lean part), which looks delicious. ^^ * Top view: Crab meat, tobiko (fish roe), and akami surround the center, which also includes small cuts of white fish and salmon mixed in. ◆ Mentaiko and karashi takana are unlimited, and you can get more rice, making it a good deal for those who can eat a lot.♪ Initially, I enjoyed it as is... for the leftovers, I separated some into a bowl for ochazuke (rice with tea), and mixed the rest with the yolk for a sweeter taste. ◆ Pouring on the "Tai Dashi" (sea bream broth) - This "tai dashi" was delicious! ♪ ◆ Happy Hour is also available. The seafood bowl can be enjoyed like hitsumabushi (grilled eel rice dish), adding to the fun. ^^ At 1,290 yen, with unlimited mentaiko and rice refills, it's quite a bargain!

"KiSuimaru" is one of the up-and-coming seafood restaurants in Fukuoka. Recently, they have created an all-weather food stall alley in the Daimyo area, gaining attention regardless of rain, snow, strong winds, temperature, or toilet issues. Currently, their Tabelog rating is a solid 3.53, indicating high praise. Curious about what they offer, I decided to visit. The restaurant is located along the Gairinmachi Street, which runs from Daimyo towards Akasaka. Outside the store, there are multiple signs and fluttering noren curtains, making it hard to miss. I arrived at 11:30 AM and entered through the noren. Inside, there were several food stalls, and surprisingly, there was only one group at the first stall. I was quite taken aback by the unexpected quietness, especially since this time would see significant crowds at the KiSuimaru/Solaria location. After informing the staff that I was visiting alone, I was guided to an available stall, effectively getting a private space just for myself. Orders are placed via QR code. I ordered the "Seafood Tamatoro Don" for 1,290 yen (tax included). At this point, I was captivated by enticing phrases like "fresh seafood," "tuna belly," "generous serving," "endless mentaiko," and "free large rice and refills," raising my expectations to the max. When the "Seafood Tamatoro Don" arrived, however, I was taken aback. This isn't what I expected… There were some ingredients at the front, but the back was just a layer of shredded egg. I had imagined a bowl overflowing with seafood, but it was far simpler than anticipated. The tuna belly that seemed so plentiful in the menu photos was minimal. Looking closely at the front ingredients, I noticed mentaiko and tobiko that are available for unlimited servings, as well as chopped seaweed and green onions. At least I didn't choose the higher-priced "Dairyo Tamatoro Don," which was a small solace as I lamented. I transferred the food to a separate dish, first tasting it normally and then adding some fish bone broth. The broth had a strong flavor of sea bream, which, unfortunately, leaned more toward a pungent profile than umami. I adjusted it with sesame sauce from the table. Both the takana and mentaiko were available in small jars for unlimited portions. Given the balance of toppings and large rice, I decided to enjoy half of the rice with the mentaiko and takana. Typically, "large rice" and "endless mentaiko" would score big points, but this time they seemed like excuses to justify my disappointment with the dish. I couldn't help but wonder about the cost-effectiveness. Having been to several locations of KiSuimaru before, I felt even more let down this time. The disparity between my previous experiences and this meal was disheartening. On a positive note, the staff maintained a welcoming attitude like those at other locations. If I visit again, perhaps in winter, I might try the oden menu. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to enjoy a delicious seafood rice bowl, so I went to Kisuimaru Yatai! There's something charming about food stalls, but eating outside can be inconvenient due to the heat or cold, distant restrooms, and other discomforts. This restaurant solves that problem! It brings together six types of food stalls indoors, allowing you to enjoy the atmosphere in a comfortable setting. You can also drink during lunch hours (11:00 AM - 3:00 PM) when they serve seafood bowls and set meals. I ordered the Tai-ryo Tama Toro Don (1,790 yen), which is a seafood bowl mixed with tuna scraps and topped with sashimi. It includes green onions, an egg yolk, seaweed, along with mentaiko (cod roe) and tobiko (fish roe) for a creamy and popping texture. You can also pour some snapper bone soup over it to enjoy it as ochazuke (rice with tea). Mentaiko, takana (pickled mustard greens), and rice are all unlimited. Be careful when asking for more rice, as they will bring a generous bowl! It’s definitely a satisfying seafood bowl! #SeafoodBowl #Daimyo #FoodStalls #Kisuimaru #Tai-ryo Tama Toro Don #DaytimeDrinks #UnlimitedMentaiko #UnlimitedTakana #FreeRiceRefills #Lunch #Gourmet

During my business trip to Hakata, I visited a restaurant known for its delicious seafood donburi! I decided to order the large size, and I was thrilled to find out that both mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and takana (pickled mustard leaf) were available for unlimited servings. It’s something that you rarely find in the Kanto region, so I really appreciated it as a unique experience in Hakata! The seafood in the donburi was incredibly fresh and firm. Mixing in the egg made it even more delicious. I finished the large portion with ease!

I tried to Google something on my phone and came across an ad at the bottom. It had exciting information that a popular izakaya (Japanese pub) had started offering lunch. Since lunch is easier for me to go to, I decided to visit on the weekend (which turned out to be a mistake). The interior had a vibe of lined-up food stalls. When I mentioned I was alone, I was made to wait for about 5 minutes before being seated. I was taken to the stall closest to me. Inside, there were two groups enjoying drinks during lunch, which made me think, "Wait, am I really being served?" The seafood bowl offered two types, and I was torn between the choices. They had an all-you-can-eat option for mentaiko (cod roe)! I ended up ordering the "Taiyō Tamatoro Don" (a seafood bowl) for 1,790 yen, which came with a broth from fish bones! To place an order, you use the QR code on the table. It took about 30 minutes for my food to arrive, and I found myself worried if my order had even gone through. When the food came, it was served all at once. The seafood bowl was piled high with negitoro (minced tuna with green onions). I could eat as much mentaiko and takana (mustard greens) as I wanted. However, the sashimi was less than I expected. I thought I should have just gone with the regular "Seafood Tamatoro Don" for 1,290 yen instead, since the sashimi was priced at 100 yen per piece. Being the weekend, there were many lunch customers, and they were getting their food faster. I started to think that perhaps visiting on this day wasn't the best choice after all.

I hadn't decided on a restaurant, so I just walked into a place that had caught my attention for a while. Since I went in late for lunch and wasn't very hungry, I didn't order anything too heavy—just the items in the photo and an additional lemon sour drink. I thought the prices were reasonable, but it turned out to be around 4500 yen for two people! Upon closer inspection, I realized the drinks were quite pricey, so I guess that's understandable ( ˊᵕˋ ;) The fries and edamame tasted the same as at other izakayas. However, the chicken skin and butter scallops were delicious. I wonder if a course would have been better, but I don't think I'll return for à la carte items in the future...
