Hello. This is Chihi Log, a casual website that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.

This time, we will introduce you to a wonderful Japanese restaurant that offers a panoramic view from Hakata Station Building.

A Japanese restaurant with a great view in the middle of Hakata! "Kisuitei Waraku Hakata Branch" (Hakata Ward, Fukuoka City)

Kisuitei Waraku Kuten Hakata Branch is located on the 9th floor of JR Hakata City Kuten. The stylish Japanese-style storefront gets you excited even before you enter.

In addition to table seating, the restaurant also has counter seats which are convenient for solo diners.

In particular, the seats by the windows are special seats that require reservations! They offer a panoramic view of the bustling Hakata Exit of Hakata Station and Taihaku Street.

It was originally a fish shop that opened in Nishijin Shopping Arcade, Fukuoka in 1957. The second generation owner opened a Japanese restaurant that used fresh fish, and so it became the current "Kisuitei."

At Kisuitei Waraku, you can enjoy Japanese cuisine made with an abundance of fresh fish and parfaits prepared by a Japanese chef.

The parfaits also come with seasonal menu items, and are incredibly delicious!

A taste review of the fresh seafood lunch and parfaits made by a Japanese chef that can be enjoyed at Hakata Station!

Let's start with lunch.

Monthly "Hakosakizen"

The "Hakosakizen" (2,860 yen) is a monthly special made with seasonal ingredients. It includes a monthly appetizer, seasonal grilled fish, three kinds of sashimi, chawanmushi, rice, soup, and pickles, and offers a wide variety of dishes to enjoy.

Another attractive feature is that the menu changes every month, and the seasonal grilled fish this time (December 2024) is "Kanato pufferfish dried overnight." It is served with sweet potato, carrot castella, and pickled turnip.

The same wooden box also contains appetizers that change monthly: yuzu tofu, yuba jellyfish salad, and steamed shrimp potato. All of them are full of seasonal flavors and are made with the delicate skill of the chef, making you feel full of happiness!

Abundant catch bowl meal

There are several set menus with seafood bowls as the main dish, but this "Hyogyo Donburi Set" (3,850 yen) is a seafood bowl that allows you to enjoy seafood in a more luxurious way. It's very gorgeous!

In addition to the seafood bowl, it comes with small side dishes, miso soup, chawanmushi, pickles, soy sauce and sesame sauce.

On this day, eight types of fish were served, including tuna, yellowtail, salmon, sea bream, mackerel, salmon roe, and shrimp.

I felt like I was in a luxury mood, being able to enjoy the melt-in-the-mouth texture and the delicious flavors of many different types of seafood all at once.

The seafood bowl comes with two types of sauce, soy sauce and sesame sauce, so you can enjoy different flavors.

Chestnut Kinton Mont Blanc Parfait

Next up, a parfait made by a Japanese chef!

The "Chestnut Kinton Mont Blanc Parfait" (1,760 yen, also available as a mini parfait for 1,320 yen) is a dish with an exquisite balance of chestnut kinton-style Mont Blanc cream, chestnuts boiled in their skins, chestnuts boiled in syrup, chestnuts with Mineoka tofu, Japanese chestnut ice cream, yogurt ice cream, roasted green tea jelly, clear jelly with pomegranate, and fruit. It is scheduled to be on sale until January 31, 2025.

Since this is a seasonal dessert, I imagined it would have a rich flavor, but it has a refreshing taste that brings out the deliciousness of the fruit!

I was amazed at how a dessert made with Japanese chestnuts, which have a rich flavor, could be so light and refreshing, and was impressed by the unique sense of a Japanese chef! This was the Mont Blanc dessert that impressed me the most recently.

Yame Matcha Parfait

This is the classic "Yame Matcha Parfait" (1,540 yen, there is also a mini parfait for 990 yen). It is a dish that combines rich Yame matcha ice cream, pound cake, agar, and bavarois.

The matcha flavor is strong, and it pairs perfectly with fruit. It's so delicious you'll want to eat it again and again.

It's easy to get to and the night view is beautiful. Please come and visit. (Text by CHIHIRO)
