酒と博多飯 燦々 — Restaurant in Fukuoka

I was having a bad day due to storms and I miss my flight, but this meal made my day (best meal I had in this Fukuoka trip).

First of all, the atmosphere here is really nice, the interior design is a mixture of Western and Japanese. The staff are really nice and one thing quite special is that they use the old-fashioned bell to get their attention.

Back to the food, most of the dishes are really tasty, here are the recommendations: (sorry that I am reading the Japanese menu so not sure if it’s the same as English one)

Roasted beef ローストビーフ Sea urchin(uni) and cheese wrap ウニとチーズの湯葉卷 Slightly Grilled Mentaiko 炙り明太子 Pineapple Highball (with Maker’s Mark whiskey) ALL tea infused liqueur Black tea infused Gin: for beef and Mentaiko Green tea infused vodka: for seafood / tempura Genmaicha infused sake: for seafood/ saucy dishes/ grill dishes Barley tea infused shochu: rice / noodles ALL deserts; those in my picture is: (L) Terrine chocolate with sweet potato ice cream (R) Pistachio ice cream

[p.s. the rice is not the best I had but still good to have one if you want something that can make you feel full]

What’s more? It only cost for USD 86 with 11 dishes (although with slightly small portion) and 4 alcohol drinks. This is definitely worth to give a few tries as their menu will be slightly...

Avoid this place, the food is not great, especially for the price, they have a tapas style menu with small dishes. We were a table of 4, we order 5 plates with different quantities for each, they got all the quantities wrong, even with us being very careful and even showing the numbers with fingers. And it took forever, we waited for almost 3 hours... Just bad, one of the worst places I've eaten in Japan (north, centre and south). You can get so much better...

We walked in just before the last order, and the staff were incredibly kind to accommodate us. The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was outstanding. The drinks were equally impressive—I ordered the ”凍結”国産レモン サワー Lemon Sour, and it was hands down the best lemon sour I've ever had....
