If you're looking for the best fish set meals in Fukuoka, this is the place to go! "A wide variety of dishes and great value for money" - a very popular restaurant with long lines even on weekdays

Hello. I'm Shou Fujita, a gourmet writer who finds happiness in set meal lunches.

This time, we will introduce a popular restaurant in Watanabedori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, where you can enjoy a satisfying fish set meal at a reasonable price.

A must-see for fish lovers! Enjoy great value fish set meals at Umeyama Teppei Shokudo Main Branch (Watanabedori, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City)

A four-minute walk from Watanabedori Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line. Umeyama Teppei Shokudo Main Branch appears when you enter the alley along Watanabedori Street.

Since opening in 2009 with the concept of "a restaurant serving delicious fish set meals," the restaurant has attracted attention for its excellent value for money and authentic fish set meals, and has now grown into a popular restaurant where lines form before the restaurant opens, even on weekdays.

Currently, there are two stores, including the Hakata store.

The restaurant is equipped with both table and counter seating, and has a warm, wooden interior that creates a welcoming atmosphere.

The owner, Umeyama Teppei, has a background in culinary arts, having honed his skills in a variety of settings, starting out in an international restaurant, then working in an Italian restaurant and a bar.

While working at a bar, Umeyama would often visit a set meal restaurant before going to work, which inspired him to think, "I want to open a restaurant where people can eat whenever they're hungry."

After that, he worked at Aji no Masafuku, a restaurant famous for its fish dishes, and at an izakaya, while also learning how to handle fish at a fish shop, and solidifying the image of his own set meal restaurant.

Approximately 50 different dishes! Great value daily set menu!

At Umeyama Teppei Shokudo Main Branch, the menu is decided based on the fish that is procured that day, and 40 to 50 different set meals are served each day.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of fish and cooking methods, including the popular year-round "Silver cod mirin set meal" (1,630 yen), the high-quality "Hokkaido kinki boiled in soy sauce set meal" (3,980 yen), and the "Goto bluefin tuna medium fatty tuna sashimi set meal" (2,980 yen).

In addition to the fish set meals, the "Fried Chicken Thigh Set Meal" (1,080 yen) is also very popular, and the main fried chicken dish is a masterpiece that Umeyama developed by "picking the best parts" of the fried chicken from the restaurants he has worked at until now.

Based on Umeyama's desire to have a restaurant that people can visit on an everyday basis, all of the menu items are priced at a reasonable price.

You won't be able to stop eating! "Saba simmered set meal" with a sweet and spicy sauce

On this day, I ordered the standard menu item, "Boiled Mackerel Set Meal" (1,180 yen).

The main dish of mackerel, covered in a rich, thick sauce, shines brightly.

The moist and tender mackerel meat is perfectly coated with the sweet and spicy sauce, making it so delicious you won't be able to stop eating rice.

The miso soup made with dried sardine stock is accented with yuzu peel, giving it a refreshing taste while still allowing you to enjoy the sweetness of the miso.

The small side dish for this day was a salad of komatsuna, carrots, enoki mushrooms, and fried tofu.

It had a light and elegant taste, without any of the harshness or bitterness of komatsuna.

The original "Umeyama Furikake" is a great side dish to go with your set meal.

It is made with a blend of flavorful ingredients such as finely chopped kelp, plum, dried sardines, and sesame seeds, and its rich flavor makes it the perfect accompaniment to rice.

This dish was created with the desire to fill customers' stomachs, based on Umeyama's own experience during his impoverished apprenticeship period, when "as long as I had furikake, I could eat as much rice as I wanted."

Using his past experiences as a foundation, Umeyama Teppei Shokudo Main Branch is the embodiment of his ideal set meal restaurant.

When you're hungry, you naturally head over to this restaurant that serves set meals that will satisfy both your stomach and your heart. (Text by Sho Fujita)
