[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.

Located on the second floor of a building, it has a somewhat hidden atmosphere, with a stylish space centered around counter seating.

There is also a private room in the back, but as it is a particularly popular seat, we recommend making a reservation.

At "Imaizumi Branch in Retonki," you can enjoy exquisite Japanese cuisine and fruit sours made with plenty of seasonal fruits. All of them are gorgeous, making it the perfect izakaya for special occasions such as anniversaries.
Everything is delicious, as the chef here has years of experience perfecting Japanese cuisine.

Packed with fruit! Signature dish: "Retonki Fresh Fruit Sour"
From here, I will introduce the menu that I ordered this time.
Before introducing the dishes, let's start with the signature dish, "Retonki Fresh Fruit Sour" (720 yen each).
The bright colors make you feel happy the moment they are brought to you. In the photo below, from the left, there are pineapple, pink grapefruit, lemon, and kiwi. Depending on the season, strawberry and other flavors may also be available.

The "Seasonal Clay Pot Rice" (from 1,320 yen per cup) is freshly cooked and the contents change depending on the season.
On this day, there was plenty of wagyu beef and corn! The sweetness of the corn and the umami of the wagyu beef were packed together, making it absolutely delicious.

Be sure to check out the "limited-time" menu!
At Letonki Imaizumi store, there are also "limited menus of the day" such as menus that are changed depending on what ingredients are available and daily specials.
I'll introduce you to the limited menu that was on offer on the day I visited.
Wild sea bream sashimi
This is "natural sea bream sashimi" (1,232 yen) caught in the Genkai Sea.
Apparently they purchase the same ingredients that are sold to sushi restaurants. I was impressed by how delicious it was.

This is the colorful "Fresh Tomato Caprese" (715 yen).
The sweetness of the fresh tomatoes and the mellow cheese went perfectly together.
