Hello. This is Chihilog, a casual blog that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.

This time, we will introduce you to a new and popular izakaya restaurant in Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City.

Enjoy hearty straw-grilled dishes and small-plate dishes! New restaurant "Sakana to Warayaki Suenoya" (Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City) opening in August 2023

"Sakana to Warayaki Suenoya" opened on August 1, 2023. It is a restaurant where you can enjoy small dishes, mainly fish and horse meat grilled over straw.

It is located about a 7-minute walk from Tenjin Station on the Subway Kuko Line and about a 1-minute walk from Akasaka Station.

As the restaurant mainly serves small dishes, it is perfect for pre- or post-parties.

We also have a selection of carefully selected sake and wine.

The interior of the restaurant is simple and clean, with a white and wooden theme. The open kitchen allows you to watch the food being prepared from the tables.

The famous straw grilled food is a must!

The restaurant's specialty, straw-grilled food, is cooked fresh after an order is placed.

The fish used is carefully selected every morning at Nagahama Market.

By grilling the fish over straw, the fat renders off and the flesh becomes firm, making it a light and healthy dish to enjoy.

The most impressive dish was the "Grilled Sea Bream" (1,078 yen).

From the first bite, the fragrant aroma of straw filled my mouth, and I was impressed by the gentle flavor of the sea bream. It was delicious even down to the aftertaste.

This is the "Saba (marinated mackerel) grilled over straw" (858 yen). The aroma of the straw brings out the umami and sweetness of the fatty saba.

It's delicious with the salt, wasabi, and garlic chips that come with it, or with the soy sauce that comes on a separate plate.

Other dishes on offer include straw-grilled dishes such as bluefin tuna, local chicken, and horse sashimi.

Small dishes packed with specialities

Tender stewed beef tendon

The "Tenderly Braised Beef Tendon" (748 yen) is a masterpiece that is carefully prepared over a period of 4 to 5 hours.

The exquisitely seasoned meat and burdock go perfectly together, making this dish delicious enough to go well with alcohol.

Suenoya's Meat and Tofu

"Suenoya's Niku Tofu" (748 yen) has a slightly sweet and gentle taste.

They are particular about how they cook the meat, so the meat is very tender.

The flavor is well infused into the tofu, making it hard to stop eating.

Chicken miso oden radish

"Chicken Miso Oden Radish" (638 yen) is a dish that takes more than two hours of laborious preparation.

The combination of soft daikon radish flavored with dashi and chicken miso accented with the flavor of bonito miso is irresistible!

It was such a heart-warming flavor that I wanted to drink up all the broth left on the plate.

Suenoya smoked food assortment

"Suenoya Smoked Assortment" (792 yen) is lightly flavored with smoked ingredients.

You can enjoy three types: cream cheese, quail egg, and duck.

The dish is also served with ground sesame, which adds a gentle accent to the smoked food. It is the perfect snack to go with your drink.

Deep-fried tofu

The key to this dish is the dashi broth "Warm Fried Tofu" (572 yen).

The soft texture and mild flavor are addictive. It's so delicious it permeates your body.

All the dishes had a gentle flavor that showed they were carefully prepared, and I wanted to come back for more.

You can sit back and enjoy it at your leisure, or just grab a quick drink.
