[Tenjin Lunch] Weekend only! The popular restaurant that is known for its Itoshima vegetables has started its long-awaited lunchtime opening (Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)

Hello. This is Chihi Log, a casual website that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.

I went to check out this popular restaurant in Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, after hearing that it has finally started opening for lunch and offering a weekend-only lunch.

"MAHALO Vegetable Dining Tenjin Daimyo (Mahalo)" (Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City), a popular restaurant offering delicious Itoshima vegetables with an "all-you-can-eat and drink" option

"MAHALO Vegetable Dining Tenjin Daimyo (Mahalo)" is located about a 2-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the Subway Kuko Line and about a 7-minute walk from Tenjin Station. It's one of my favorite restaurants and I visit it several times a month.

The restaurant has counter seats and table seats, making it a casual space where small or large groups can enjoy themselves.

It's perfect for a date or an important anniversary.

The semi-private room, where the flowers were replaced about two months ago, is a special seat.

The fresh flowers were slowly transforming into dried flowers, and I was entranced by their beauty!

The restaurant is popular for its dishes that use an abundance of pesticide-free vegetables grown at its own farm, MAHALO FARM (photo below), in Itoshima.

You can enjoy freshly picked seasonal vegetables delivered from Itoshima in a delicious, fun, and beautiful way. In the evening, the all-you-can-eat and drink course with 70 dishes for two hours is very popular.

Not only is the chef particular about the food, such as changing the cooking method of the vegetables depending on the dish, but the exciting and entertaining aspects are also appealing.

The rich flavors and colorful vegetables make you feel like your body is happy after eating!

It's so tempting to make a special trip there just to get your fill of these vegetables.

Introducing a special lunch on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! "Beauty and Healthy Vegetable Dish"

The weekend-only lunch "Beauty and Healthy Vegetable Dish" (2,200 yen) will start on Saturday, July 1, 2023. It can be enjoyed on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11:30 to 14:00.

This extremely healthy lunch menu allows you to enjoy approximately 25 different types of Itoshima vegetables in one meal.

The main course comes with "seasonal vegetable potage" and "rice flour bread." We will introduce each of them below.

Although vegetables are the main focus at "MAHALO," the chef's cooking techniques are excellent, and the meat and fish dishes are also delicious!

The savory, grilled chicken saute is juicy and delicious. Topped with prosciutto, it's very filling.

The beautifully cut vegetables are also a highlight. They are presented like works of art, and are so pretty that it's almost a shame to eat them.

The vegetables used change daily, so you can enjoy different flavors every time you visit!

The sauces also change daily; on this day they were served with homemade tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, and corn sauce.

The corn sauce in particular was unlike anything I'd ever tasted before, with the sweetness of the corn standing out.

I usually love MAHALO's original dressings and sauces, and all of the sauces on this day were amazing! I'm looking forward to finding out what kind of sauces I'll come across next time I visit.

This is an irresistible dish for fans of "MAHALO." The plate was packed with vegetables, but it was so satisfying that I was already full.

Beautiful to look at! "Seasonal vegetable potage"

The seasonal potage for this day was "cold onion potage."

You'll be captivated by the beautiful visuals, as if it were a dish from a hotel course meal.

When you put it in your mouth, the gentle and mellow flavor of the onion is wonderful!

Even if you don't like onions, this is a delicious dish that you should definitely try.

Fluffy and delicious! "Rice flour bread"

"Rice flour bread" is fluffy and has a sweet, gentle taste.

It was an outstanding dish that highlighted the gentle sweetness of the rice, and my friend and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious!"

It's delicious whether you eat it as is or with soup.

It didn't disappoint and every dish was an amazing lunch.

If you've been interested in this restaurant but haven't had a chance to go at night, be sure to give it a try. (Text by CHIHIRO)
