[Complete Fukuoka Yatai Guide] Perfect for beginners! 14 must-see spots in the Tenjin, Hakata, and Nagahama areas

[Nagahama area food stalls] Nagahama Municipal Baseball Stadium

At Nagahama Municipal Baseball Stadium, the "baseball stall" has a menu that looks just like a sports newspaper, and when you make a toast they say "Play ball," and when you ask for the bill they say "Nice game!"

It is located in Nagahama Yatai Street, which opened in June 2023. It is about a 10-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the Subway Airport Line.

The head chef, Matsukiyo Takahiro, loves Fukuoka and has been visiting the city 3-4 times a year for the past 30 years. He has finally moved to Fukuoka and even started running a food stall. He is, of course, a huge baseball fan, especially a Hawks fan!

What catches your eye are the menus. There is a "Today's Starting Lineup" menu, which is a play on the team member list, and in the "Yakitori/Kushiyaki" column (220 yen each), you can see options such as "Straight (Thigh)," "Curve (Negima)," and "Shoot (Tonjiri)."

"Teppanyaki" (from 750 yen) with beef tongue, pork skirt steak, and miso offal,

In addition to "Oden" (180 yen each), other dishes include "Exquisite Tonpeiyaki" (650 yen) and "Thick Fried Tofu with Mentaiko Mayonnaise" (650 yen).

The recommended final dish is the "Nagahama Stamina Ramen" (850 yen), an original dish inspired by Tenri Ramen from Nara. The spicy chives will whet your appetite.

In addition to beer, sake, shochu, and sour drinks, the drinks list also includes "Craft Chu-Hi" flavors such as "Kyushu Lemon" and "Sakurajima Ko Mikan" (600 yen each).

The chef said he started the food stall because he wanted other people to love food stall culture as much as he does. Perhaps his feelings were conveyed, because once the professional baseball season begins, baseball fans come to Nagahama Municipal Baseball Stadium after watching a game and play another game. It seems that everyone is having a great time, regardless of whether they are on the opposing team or not.

[Nagahama area food stall] Tama-chan food stall

"Yatai Tama-chan" opened in "Nagahama-cho Yatai Street" in June 2023. It is a food stall run by "Tamaya," a popular yakiniku restaurant with several locations in Fukuoka.

Chef Torisu Daisuke says, "Yatai are an important tourist resource for Fukuoka." That's why, if he was going to run a yatai, he decided to pursue the best possible "taste," even when it came to ramen, and he continues to research and improve his ramen even now.

"Nagahama Pure Tonkotsu Ramen" (750 yen) is a masterpiece with a clean taste, made by simmering the pork leg bones (genkotsu), skull (tokotsu), and backbone (haikotsu) under pressure. Since many people do not order extra noodles at food stalls, the thickness of the noodles and the water content are carefully selected so that one bowl will satisfy you.

Another popular menu item is the "Yaki Ramen" (950 yen), which uses the same pork bone soup. The flavor of the time and effort put into making it is apparent to customers, and now some people come to the restaurant just for the ramen and then quickly finish it off.

Also, as it is a yakiniku restaurant, the variety of meat dishes is attractive. In addition to the standard "charcoal grilled chicken" (180 yen) and "pork belly" (200 yen), there are also other dishes such as "handmade meatballs" (250 yen) and the rare "raw lamb" (580 yen). There are also "three kinds of platters" (600 yen) and "five kinds of platters" (900 yen).

There are also other dishes on the menu that tourists can enjoy, such as the "Oden" (170 yen each) shown in the photo, which uses "ago dashi," a broth typical of Fukuoka, "Iwashi Mentaiko" (680 yen), and "Mentaiko Cheese Omelette" (880 yen).

Other dishes on offer include "Adult French Fries" (480 yen) and "Spicy Miso Teppan" (780 yen), and many local customers visit the restaurant as if it were an izakaya. Keep an eye on "Yatai no Tama-chan," which is constantly evolving.
