Kyushu Island has brought a lot to the nation’s dining table. After all, it is here that ramen — Japan’s globally celebrated comfort food — was born. And while the rest of the country doesn’t have a strong street food culture, it is definitely alive and kicking in Fukuoka. Other prefectures have their own signature dishes — from Hita City’s own take on the yakisoba to Nagasaki’s foreign-influenced delicacies.
In this video, we’ll show you around Kyushu Island and give you a taste of some of the food delights that you shouldn’t miss in this part of Japan! But in this batch, we’ll cover only those in the northern half of the island.
