[A stylish izakaya near Yakuin Station] The vegetable-wrapped skewers and shumai are must-try dishes! A popular restaurant with a selection of delicious dishes that you won't be disappointed with

2024.09.19

Hello. I'm Momo and I love to eat.

This time, we will introduce you to an izakaya located in Takasago, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City.

Excellent! A pub filled with specialty dishes: "Hakata Uzumaki Yakuin Branch, Charcoal Grilled Vegetable Skewers and Shumai Bar" (Takasago, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City)

Hakata Uzumaki is a popular izakaya restaurant originating from Fukuoka that has multiple locations both within and outside the prefecture.

This time, I went to "Hakata Uzumaki Yakuin Branch," a charcoal-grilled vegetable skewers and shumai bar located about a 5-minute walk from Yakuin Station on the Nanakuma subway line and Nishitetsu line.

Look for the large sign that says "Uzumaki."

We entered the store through the noren curtained entrance.

A stylish and relaxing space

It is spacious with a total of 74 seats, but it gets busy especially on weekends, and when I visited on a Saturday, customers started pouring in as soon as it opened at 5pm. There are table seats, counter seats, and private sofa seats, and it seems that you can also rent the restaurant for private parties (number of people and budget can be discussed).

The specialties of the Yakuin store are "vegetable roll skewers" and "shumai"!

If you come here, you should definitely try the "Vegetable Roll Skewers" (starting from 180 yen each), one of the specialties of "Hakata Uzumaki."

There are over 10 types of original skewers made by the chef, made by wrapping seasonal vegetables and ingredients in pork belly and grilling them!

Another signature menu item at "Hakata Uzumaki Yakuin Branch" is their new specialty, "Uzumaki Chicken Shumai" (4 pieces for 440 yen).

Apparently, craftsmen hand-prepare it every day.

It's healthy and very popular because it uses chicken! It's hot, juicy, and satisfying.

It's filled with large chunks of tofu and has a delicious, slightly spicy flavor ♡ It's so spicy that you'll want to eat it with rice, and it's so delicious that you won't be able to stop once you start eating it.

For those who don't like spicy food, we also recommend the "Melty Cheese Mapo Tofu" (730 yen).
