Experience Details
From the milky broth of tonkotsu ramen to the crisp bite of warm tetsunabe gyoza,
Fukuoka's food scene is diverse and exciting, reflecting the history of the city as a cultural melting pot. But with so many options available, what do locals eat and, most importantly, where?
A local guide will lead this evening exploration into the lesser-known eateries and flavors that are the pride and joy of Fukuoka.
From sashimi to udon, get ready to try several foods as you learn about Hakata's local culture and history firsthand.
After meeting your host, you'll go to Yanagibashi Rengo Market, a century-old seafood market known as "Hakata's Kitchen," where you'll try tempura and fried kamaboko fish cakes.
Next, you'll stroll through the narrow Sankaku Market on your way to a traditional restaurant specializing in udon noodles.
Your next and final stop will be a local izakaya (a Japanese-style pub) in the market, where you'll enjoy your last bites with a refreshing drink.
