What To Expect
Stop 1
⏱ 1hWe start right in the heart of Fukuoka's Yatai culture along the Nakasu River. You will sit at a cozy, open-air stall accommodating just a few people. Enjoy delicious bite-sized foods like grilled pork belly, Mentaiko (spicy cod roe) egg rolls, or Hakata gyoza. The atmosphere is warm and communal.
Stop 2
⏱ 1hNext, we move into the bustling Tenjin district to visit a traditional Izakaya. Here, you can sit back and relax while tasting locally brewed sake from Kyushu. We will order a few regional specialties, allowing you to experience the vibrant indoor drinking culture of Fukuoka's locals.
Stop 3
⏱ 1hIt is a local tradition to end a night of drinking with a steaming bowl of Hakata Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen. We will take you to a favorite local ramen joint—far better than the tourist traps. You will learn how to order your noodle firmness and how to ask for "Kaedama" (an extra serving of noodles).
