Book now on byFood.com: https://www.byfood.com/experiences/fukuoka-hakata-food-culture-tour-ramen-shrine-869

Fukuoka, located on the island of Kyushu, is arguably one of Japan’s best cities for food lovers! Join Shizuka as she continues her tasty tour of Fukuoka by checking out a selection of the best food stops in town.

The journey begins as our hungry host meets Mason, a Fukuoka-based food tour guide. Shizuka and Mason join forces and head to their first food stop of the day, 72-hour chicken skin skewers at Torikawa Daijin. This restaurant sells a whopping 800,000 skewers per month! Next, our fearless duo follow their baked-good cravings to Mentaiko France Bakery, where they try mentaiko (cod roe) bread. After this, Shizuka and Mason take a brief cultural detour and visit the sacred Kushida Shrine.

Having walked off some of the day’s meals, Shizuka and Mason reward themselves with Hakata-style ramen at Hakataya Ramen! Serving mouthwatering ramen for just 290 yen per bowl, this restaurant defines bang-for-buck dining. Hakata-style ramen is characterized by its rich, creamy pork bone broth, thin straight noodles, and simple toppings, making it a beloved regional dish. The final stop on this food tour is Mitsuya Seikaen, a renowned tea house established over 300 years ago. They enjoy various Fukuoka-style teas (hon gyokuro) and wagashi (Japanese sweets).

    Yay! It’s the return of the gangsta Shizuka πŸ₯° What a fabulous tour, the highlight for me was the green tea finale. Fascinating how each pour brings out different unique qualities of the tea leaf. An exquisite experience to be sure!

    Hi, it's Mason. Thank you, Shizuka, and the team for having me.

    Thanks to everyone's kind guidance, I was able to get through the shoot despite being nervous during my first filmingπŸ₯Ά The fantastic filming and editing techniques truly captured the charm of Fukuoka, and I'm thrilled with the result.

    I look forward to meeting many guests here in Fukuoka.

    Arigato~~~😭

    So good to see Shizuka. All three locations were interesting but my pick would be the fresh baked bread with the roe. I've never heard of anything like it, but it looked delicious.

    I want some of that chicken skin that was grilled! lol

    And that ramen pricing is insane! Deffo on my list to check out with By Food when I get there!

    Chicken skin is delicioussss. I once stripped an entire rotisserie chicken of its skin and ate it all as a kid. My parents were like uhhhhhhhhh

  26. Rocket Reindeer

    That.. was amazing. I definitely need to try that chicken skin. The story of the 300 year old tea place and the fire was amazing. Where I live, it's a miracle if a restaurant lasts more than ten years. Mason was great, and like others have said, Shizuka looks super cool in her dress. I know an artist guy in Fukuoka who is super talented.

    The chicken skin skewers are definitely my favorite. Actually just returned from my Japan trip (25 days in Japan)!!!πŸ₯°

    This tour was very interesting. The food looks delicious. I really enjoyed the green tea segment. Thanks for sharing!
