[Fukuoka Lunch] No shortcuts even on the side dishes! A luxurious set meal that will satisfy your body and soul at a popular seafood izakaya (Imaizumi)

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

This time, we will introduce you to the nutritionally balanced set lunch menu at a popular seafood izakaya in Imaizumi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City.

Renovating in September 2023! Popular seafood izakaya "Hakata Robata Fishman" (Imaizumi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

Hakata Robata Fishman is located in an alley near Imaizumi Park, a 5-minute walk from Yakuin Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line.

This popular gourmet spot serves set meals centered around fresh fish from Kyushu at lunchtime, and in the evening you can enjoy elaborate dishes and lively performances.

The owner, Tomonori Mori, who comes from a restaurant background, opened "Hakata Robata Uotoko" in 2009 with the idea of "serving restaurant-quality food at izakaya prices."

It was one of the first restaurants to adopt cutting-edge cooking techniques such as espuma and liquid nitrogen, and has garnered the support of many people as a seafood izakaya that serves surprising and satisfying dishes in a casual atmosphere.

After Mori experienced poor health during the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned to his roots of "healthy eating" and revamped his menu with the help of a molecular nutrition advisor.

In September 2023, the restaurant was renovated with the concept of "an izakaya that will naturally get your body in shape," and is now renowned for its nutritious dishes that minimize gluten and casein.

The interior of the restaurant has a bright and sophisticated atmosphere, with lustrous wooden tables lined up.

The warm lighting and greenery create a comfortable, clean space that's perfect for a casual date or girls' night out.

The 61 seats available include counter seats, table seats, and box seats, making it suitable for a variety of occasions.

Another unique feature is that pets are allowed at all seats, and they also provide pet food that is nutritionally balanced.

There are over 30 different lunch set meals! We tried the popular "Assorted Sashimi Set Meal"

During lunchtime, there are over 30 different set meals on offer, including daily specials and limited-time specials.

Among the most popular dishes are the "Assorted Sashimi Set Meal" (2,068 yen) and the "Foshman Don" (1,958 yen), which are colorfully presented with extremely fresh sashimi.

On this day, I had the "Assorted Sashimi Set Meal."

The satisfying meal includes five kinds of fresh fish sashimi (changing daily), rice with barley, miso soup made with bone broth, and six small side dishes including a mini salad and pickles.

The sashimi on this day included thick and fatty salmon, melt-in-the-mouth tuna, flavorful yellowfin tuna, moist sea bream, and rich sesame mackerel.

The sesame mackerel is coated with a generous amount of sesame sauce that is rich and fragrant, and goes perfectly with rice.

The rice is a blend of Sasanishiki and glutinous barley.

The crunchy texture and filling feeling are appealing, and another nice thing is that you can have as many refills as you like.

The miso soup is made with bone broth made by simmering a whole chicken for over 8 hours.

It has a deep, nutritious flavor that slowly seeps into your body.

"Spinach with Liver" is not only delicious, but also provides a great source of iron from the spinach and liver.

The "Cold Corn Chawanmushi" had a deep flavor that combined the sweetness of the corn, its popping texture, and the gentle umami of the broth.

The set meals also come with a complimentary serving of "Mulberry Tea," which is caffeine-free and popular among health-conscious people.

The set meals are satisfying with a good number of dishes, but also have an exquisite balance, allowing you to enjoy them all the way to the very last bite.

In the evening, enjoy a la carte dishes and performances! An entertainment experience that goes beyond an izakaya

In the evening, there are a variety of playful menu items, such as the specialty "Stepped Sashimi Platter" (2,178 yen per person) and the cake-like "Wagyu Beef and Potatoes" (748 yen).

In addition to watching tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) and warabimochi (bracken-starch dumplings) being prepared right in front of you, on weekends and holidays, performers such as balloon artists and mentalists also make appearances, creating an entertainment space that goes beyond the normal framework of an izakaya.

At "Hakata Robata Uotoko," you can enjoy highly satisfying seafood dishes that combine high-quality ingredients with an attention to health.

This is recommended for those who want to eat plenty of delicious food while also being mindful of their health. (Text by Sho Fujita)
