After watching Shizuka Anderson’s Yatai Hopping tour video with Bruce and reading all the positive reviews from previous Byfood tour participants, my brother and I went in expecting something special. Bruce and his team (Tomoko and Katsumi) absolutely delivered one of our most memorable nights in Japan. From start to finish, Bruce was the consummate host and we couldn’t have felt more welcomed and taken care of. The tour is everything as advertised and more, as Bruce has a true passion for yatai and Japanese culture and it comes across on the tour. We not only enjoyed yatai staples like mentaiko omelet, oden, and yakitori but based on our feed back Bruce also selected dishes completely new to us (hello Yamaimou “moving” steak and horumon!) That was the case throughout the tour as we could see Bruce tailoring the experience so that it became unique to us. Being tourists I don’t think we’ve had an actual “conversation” with any locals while eating but that all changed in the yatai’s with encouragement from Bruce and his team. Some of our fellow diners even wanted to practice speaking English with us! The best tours are the ones where you don’t feel you’re on a tour but one where you feel like you’re being shown the town by family or friends. This is one of those. For anyone who wants to experience Fukuokan yatai culture in good company look no further. (The tour has 2 time slots. If you want to see the yatai stalls being set up book the early one)

We booked our Hakata Market tour after watching Shizuka Anderson participate in a similar tour with Mason on YouTube and we’re so happy we did. As mentioned in other reviews, Jaye, our guide on this experience, was AMAZING. We’ve been on a few Byfood experiences already and all of them have created memories that will last a lifetime. We’re novice “foodies” so the fish market, udon restaurant, and cafe were local places that we wouldn’t have known to seek out if not for the tour and a perfect introduction to Fukuoka food culture. Our minds were educated and our bellies filled. “A” for the experience and having a great guide in Jaye made it an “A+”. Highly recommend!

Discover the Rich Flavors of Fukuoka

Fukuoka, a vibrant city on Japan's Kyushu Island, is renowned for its unique culinary offerings and bustling food scene. Whether you're a seasoned food lover or just beginning to explore Japanese cuisine, there's no better place to dive into rich flavors and traditional dishes than Fukuoka. Discover the diverse palette of flavors that Fukuoka has to offer, from its famous Hakata ramen to fresh seafood delicacies. As the gateway to Kyushu, Fukuoka serves as an entry point to a wide array of food experiences that are sure to delight your taste buds.

Unmissable Culinary Experiences

The heart of Fukuoka's culinary scene lies in its street food. The city is dotted with yatai, or mobile food stalls, offering quick and delicious bites such as yakitori, ramen, and tempura. A must-try is the Hakata ramen, known for its creamy pork broth and thin noodles, which is best enjoyed in a lively yatai atmosphere. For seafood lovers, Fukuoka provides an abundance of fresh catch from local markets, including sashimi and sushi prepared with the day's freshest ingredients. Additionally, the city's vibrant local markets, such as Yanagibashi Rengo Market, offer pearls of culinary treasures ranging from colorful produce to artisanal Japanese sweets. Each dish tells a story of Fukuoka's rich culture and historical prominence as a port city.

Savor Authentic Local Traditions

Aside from street food, Fukuoka is home to an array of restaurants offering regional specialties that capture the essence of local dining traditions. Try mizutaki, a comforting chicken hot pot flavored with a rich broth and fresh vegetables, or motsunabe, a hearty stew made from beef or pork offal that perfectly encapsulates the warmth of Fukuoka hospitality. Exploring the local izakayas will introduce you to a variety of small plates and local sake, providing an authentic taste of the city's nightlife. These experiences do not only offer delicious meals but also provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in the social culture of Fukuoka. Whether you're there for the food or the experience, the culinary journey through Fukuoka promises countless memorable moments.
