Aji no Mentaiko Fukuya Dazaifu — Restaurant in Dazaifu

As a mentaiko aficionado, I couldn't pass up the chance to visit Fukuya in Dazaifu 🍣. The experience was absolutely worth sharing! Be prepared for a wait, as it's quite the popular spot, but trust me, it's worth it 🕒.

Their Mentaiko Chazuke is not just a dish; it's a culinary journey 🌟, served with instructions to enjoy it in three delightful ways. Starting with the plain mentaiko over rice 🍚, then mixed with tororo, and finally enjoyed as a warming chazuke 🍵, each step offers a unique blend of flavors and textures.

For those on the go, the takeaway option is fantastic 🏃💨. You get a smaller, more affordable bowl of Mentaiko Chazuke, perfect for savoring as you explore the streets 🚶‍♂️🍜. It's a great way to taste this local specialty without the wait for a table.

The shop also doubles as a paradise for mentaiko enthusiasts, with an array of mentaiko-themed souvenirs 🛍️. The intimate dining space adds to the overall charm, providing a cozy and authentic atmosphere 💖. This place is a reminder that the best things often come in small packages (or bowls!).

To wrap it up, Fukuya is a must-visit for anyone who loves mentaiko 🌶️🐟. It’s an entire experience - from the anticipation in the queue to the delightful last spoonful of chazuke. A truly delightful...

I visited the store at 2/15 around 12:30 p.m. Their 明太子 was very delicious, so I couldn’t help but buy a lot. Most clerks’ attitudes are pretty good and kind, but a female clerk in front of the store held the sample was arrogant. When I asked her if I could taste the sample, she almost threw to me and my family as if we...

2025.09.11 到訪 我覺得對外國人不是很友善 進餐廳前要先用機器點餐 因為不是很了解日文 一開始我還使用手機翻譯 是後來才知道有繁體中文可以選擇 然後在機器旁的歐巴桑服務員看起來不高興還翻了我白眼 🙄 然後我就必須快點隨便選擇我的餐點 很不舒服😤

餐點很美味 但是服務很差勁 不能因為不懂日文就擺出臉色吧

最後要離開我仍有禮貌說謝謝 但是歐巴桑回應的很隨便 然後隔壁漂亮的日本女生說再見時就滿臉笑容

真的很差勁 👎🏻 不回再來這裡受氣了

I don't think they very friendly to foreigners. Use the machine to order before entering the restaurant. Because I don't know much about Japanese, I used mobile phone translation at the beginning. I didn't know until later that there was a choice of traditional Chinese. Then the old lady waiter next to the machine looked unhappy and rolled my eyes 🙄 Then I had to choose my meal quickly. It was very uncomfortable 😤

The meal is delicious, but the service is terrible.

You can't make a face just because we don't know Japanese

When we were about to leave, the old lady waiter attitude of saying goodbye was very casual. Then the beautiful Japanese girl next door was full of smiles when she said goodbye.

It's really bad 👎🏻 . Don’t want...
