FUKUOKA, JAPAN – Welcome to Fukuoka, on the island of Kyushu, in southern Japan, and this is one of the capitals of Japanese street food in the country. They have done an amazing job to preserve the culture of “yatai” or portable street food stalls that set up in the evening across the city. Tonight we’re going on an ultimate Japanese street food tour in Fukuoka, going to 5 different place for 5 Japanese dishes and I can’t wait to share all the food with you now.

#1 Yaki Ramen
Location: Kokinchan: https://goo.gl/maps/AMGdvUadJR6JbFwi6 – We’re starting off with a famous yatai stall where they invented the original yaki ramen – or fried ramen. It was definitely new to me, I thought it would be more of a dry fried noodles, but it was rather a wet and soup fried noodle dish. Amazing, as were the other dishes.
Price – 2,650 JPY for everything

#2 Gyoza
Location: Yatai Mamichan: https://goo.gl/maps/dwSFjcZea59H947D8 – You can go on a Japanese street food tour without eating gyoza, and Yatai Mamichan is one of the best places to eat them. The chef is amazingly skilling, cooking everything on his own and darting from station to station. Part of the great thing about eating at Yatai is being right in front of the cooking and interacting with the chef.
Price – 8,450 JPY for 5 people (we ordered a lot and lots of drinks)

#3 Tempura – Next, I’m not totally sure of the name of this place, but they are known for their tempura, battered and deep fried seafood and vegetables. It was a little oily, but still quite tasty.
Price – 1,100 JPY

#4 Hakata Ramen
Location: Yatai Kiryu: https://goo.gl/maps/RB5UQkK8wFUG8TTX6 – Hakata ramen, or tonkotsu ramen is one of the most common and popular dishes in Fukuoka and you’ll find Hakata ramen served at nearly all yatai food stalls.
Price – 650 JPY per bowl

#5 Yakitori
Location: Yatai Kawachan: https://goo.gl/maps/5jzCzVt4VwHJ7hGS7 – Finally we ate at a place called Yatai Kawachan, known for their yakitori, or grilled chicken skewers. It was a quite a selection of different skewers from gizzard to hot dog.
Total price – 4,400 JPY for everything with drinks

The yatai street food culture in Fukuoka is one of the great Japanese food scenes in Japan. Let’s hope generations continue to take pride in their food stalls and preserve the yatai culture.

Thank you to Visit Kyushu (https://www.visit-kyushu.com/en/) for helping me organize this food tour.

  1. Hello, I'm a your Vietnamese fan, I see you come to Viet Nam for food tour and I love your hoodie(I Travel For Food), but in VietNam, there is no authentic I Travel For Food hoodie so I can't buy it, so can you pass it to me, I'm in Ha Noi so reply my comment if you want to pass me this hoodie, love your videos, thanks.

  2. It's all about the street food baby!!! Too bad USA is planning to use Japan against China, will destroy Asians like US Gov CIA scumbags setup the Ukrainian Russian war. Now Ukraine is destroyed along with Eastern Europe. AmeriKKKa racist war mongers against Asians.

  3. If I wasn't black I would feel comfortable traveling to these places but i'm black so Imma just play it safe and watch Mark do it for me.

  4. I love your shows and I have learnt so much. I simply love watching you eat and enjoying and savouring the flavour.

  5. No matter where Mark goes, he's giving the most accurate food descriptions

  6. I'm sort of impressed that Mark Wiens, of all professional eaters, eats street foods at "yatai" in Fukuoka. Common choice would be Tokyo, Osaka or Hokkaido. He's real.

    マークが福岡の屋台でメシ食ってるのはチョット感動モノ。多くのVロガーたちは、東京、大阪、行っても北海道とかだよね。

  7. Through Mark we get to see amazing food, people and their surroundings from different cultures and regions. Thank you Mark for your continued efforts. Simply love your content. Planning to visit Japan this year and this video just makes me want to go even more.

  8. For his reference

    6:01 Japanese mustard, "karashi." stronger than Western mustard.

    6:52 ”Yuzu kosho," made from chili and yuzu peel, etc.

    8:48 "Mentaiko," spicy cod roe.

    11:15 "Benishouga," ginger pickled in vinegar with umeboshi, so it's red.

    12:37 it's more like Ten-Ichi. This "Ten" and tempura has a same kanji.

    13:55 ”Daikon oroshi," grated Japanese radish. It may be slightly tangy.

    15:15 green pepper
    23:06 Strange enough but what he says "hot dog" is called "frank(furter)."
    24:21 "Tsukune." You can take it as a chicken meatball but eggs are used, and tsukune has fish version.

  9. Yatai is having similar pressures as hongkong's dai ai dong food culture. More and more are disappearing.

  10. I used to like this channel but I don't anymore. There is too much confusion in terms of what he's eating. He just doesn't know. Apologies but just calling it the way I see it.

  11. Nice guy but he doesn't explain what's going in the dishes so we know what he's eating and that doesn't make it very interesting.

  12. Thank you, Mark❤
    As a Japanese, I'm really happy that you introduced many viewers to Japanese food stalls❤

  13. Welcome back to Japan again, Mark. You introduce places to eat where I ,Japanese, even don't know.

  14. 九州は屋台がいっぱいあって楽しいね。日本は美味しいものが沢山あるよ♪Arigatou

  15. Hey Mark do you know some trustworthy thai person that could help me open a non profit in thailand. I want to fundraise for a research project first then have some milestones to hit to fund other projects.
