[Lunch in the Tenjin area] The simmering fried chicken is a must! A creative Japanese izakaya with a wide variety of menu items (Fukuoka city)

Hello. I'm Mai Ito, an FBS announcer.

This time, we will introduce some authentic original Japanese restaurants in the Daimyo area of Fukuoka that were visited on the "Ane! Like! Live" segment of "Mentai Wide" (FBS Fukuoka Broadcasting).

Casual "creative Japanese cuisine" made by the owner who trained at a famous restaurant! Izakaya "Warai no Ebisu" (Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City) that is open for lunch

The izakaya restaurant Warai no Ebisu opened in August 2023 on the first floor of a building on the right hand side a short distance from Taisho-dori in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. It is about a five-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the subway airport line.

The large lantern with the words "Laughing Ebisu" written on it is the landmark.

You can get a good view of the kitchen from the counter.

It's a great place to come and have a meal with a group, but it also has a relaxing atmosphere where you can just drop in by yourself.

Here, you can casually enjoy authentic original Japanese cuisine prepared by the owner, who has trained for over 20 years at famous restaurants such as "Nadaman" and "Kawataro." In addition to dinner, they also serve lunch from 11:30 to 13:30.

Boiling fried chicken, fresh seafood bowls, katsudon...Lots of delicious food! A fulfilling lunch menu

First, let's start with the lunch menu.

The specialty and popular menu item is the "Special Fried Chicken Set" (1,100 yen), which comes with a small side dish and rice.

This dish is made by placing crispy fried chicken in a hot stone dish, topped with plenty of hot sauce and aromatic vegetables, and letting it simmer. You can choose the number of fried chicken pieces you like, from 2 to 6 (the photo shows 4 pieces). *The price is the same no matter how many you choose.

The filling made from simmered vegetable soup seeps into the fried chicken, doubling the flavor!

Not only was the fried chicken well-coated, but the vegetables also had a crunchy texture, making this a very satisfying dish.

As the bean paste thickens on the hot stone, the sourness of the lemon becomes stronger, making it even more refreshing. It is also recommended to eat the bean paste over rice.

By the way, fried chicken is 220 yen per piece at night, and you can order from two pieces.

Next up is the "Today's Seafood Bowl" (regular 1,100 yen). You can fully enjoy the deliciousness of fresh seafood.

They also have the "Katsudon Set Meal" (1,100 yen), which is perfect for when you want a hearty meal!

Not only is the sea urchin delicious, but the contrast between the crispy batter and the soft, gooey filling is amazing!

When it is brought to your table it is covered in a smoked aroma, so you can enjoy the excitement of opening the lid.

The "Live Bite-sized Abalone" (770 yen/piece) was brought to us, sizzling with flames. *The photo shows two pieces.

Abalone that is so fresh it can be eaten raw is lightly cooked with far infrared rays and a burner, giving it an exquisite texture that allows you to enjoy both a fluffy softness and a crunchy bite!

The savory flavor and saltiness of the abalone combined with the richness of the butter makes for a fantastic treat.

The "Amberjack Rare Cutlet" (1,320 yen/100g *132 yen per 10g) is a dish with a beautiful cross-section!

The fatty amberjack is quickly fried. The crispy batter, bouncy amberjack, and melt-in-your-mouth texture of the fatty parts combine to create a new sensation that you can't get with sashimi.

There is also a "Three Kinds Platter" (1,100 yen/2 servings) which includes fresh sashimi.
