How to order alcohol

＜Sake＞
For your first drink, choose an "original sake cup" (700 yen/limited quantity) or a "cup" (100 yen) at each sake brewery's booth and purchase it along with the sake you want to drink. From the second drink onwards, the sake will be poured into the sake cup or cup you first purchased, so you only need to order the sake.

<Wine and beer>
Each cup is purchased with its own cup.
*The amount of alcohol varies depending on the type. Please refrain from reusing cups.

Food and drink booths featuring popular restaurants

Of course, there are plenty of food and drink booths to go with your drinks. Nagahama no Hiroshi, which operates from Nagahama Yatai Street, will be selling "Motsunabe" (600 yen), "Kome Hitotsubu no Chikara" will be selling "Wagyu beef tendon stew" (800 yen) and "Onigiri" (rice balls) (starting from 190 yen), "Kubo Curry" will be selling "Kubo Chiki 65" (5 sticks for 500 yen), and "Pizzeria da GAETANO" will be selling "Italian sausage" (2 sticks for 1,000 yen).

Other dishes on the menu that will keep you coming back for more drinks include "Shirasu Kujira Kushiage Kakuuchi," "Tonkatsu Hamakatsu," "Hakata Tetsunabe Mugen Gyoza," and "Momoyaki Bantori."

By the way, the chaser "water" (200 yen), which is essential for enjoying alcohol, can be purchased at the management office.

Collaboration with "Hanasaka Month" is also attracting attention

The year 2024 will be called "Hanasaka Month," and you won't want to miss the collaborations with various content and events in Fukuoka, such as the Nagahama Yatai Street and the Fukuoka Castle Sakura Festival.
