Hitsumabushi Washoku Bincho Nakasu Kawabata Branch — Restaurant in Fukuoka

This is the must-go place whenever I visited fukuoka. They specialised in eels (unagi) and you can see them grilling the eel at the entrance. Their eel is always grilled to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft, tender inside. Also, the sauce is of the perfect consistency and sweetness. The rice is also fluffy, sticky and drizzled with the tasty sauce. For my experience, their lunch menu is more of a bargain than the regular (also dinner) menu.

Satisfying Dinner~ First time in Japan 🇯🇵 and this is our first meal. We arrived at Fukuoka at around 7pm. After we checked in, we found this restaurant on google map. It is really close to our hotel at Nakasu. 🥰🥰🥰 Really like their eel rice. The eel has a charcoal grilled flavour. The eel meats are soft in the inside, crispy on the outside. The pork fillet tonkatsu set is also really good. The pork is very crispy. It taste very good with the special sauce. We also ordered the side dishes - egg rolls with eel. It has a strong egg flavour and soft texture which melts in my mouth. The staff are really nice and they have English menus.

I watch in marvel how skillfully the chef handled and grilled the eel to perfection. Both the extra hitsumabushi (one fish) and special pork fillet tonkatsu set was so satisfying and filling, and we can’t stop singing praises of the food throughout the meal.
