[About 3 minutes from Yakuin Station] Everything is delicious! A stylish Japanese restaurant perfect for a date (Imaizumi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

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

This time, we will introduce an izakaya in Imaizumi, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City. It is a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Japanese food in a stylish space.

A selection of exquisite dishes prepared by a Japanese chef! Izakaya "Imaizumi Branch in Letonki" near Yakuin Station (Imaizumi, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City)

Imaizumi Store in Letonki opened on July 7, 2023, located about a 3-minute walk from Nishitetsu Yakuin Station (north exit).

The owner, Mr. Sato, enjoys weight training as a hobby. If you read the name of the shop backwards, it's... "Kintore"! I see, that's what it means.

I'll introduce you to the limited menu that was on offer on the day I visited.

This is "natural sea bream sashimi" (1,232 yen) caught in the Genkai Sea.
