[Ohashi Izakaya] A hidden gem where you can casually enjoy high-quality Japanese cuisine! The Obanzai is also exquisite (Fukuoka City)

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

This time, we'll introduce you to a Japanese restaurant that was particularly impressive among the restaurants we've visited recently, where every dish was sophisticated and delicious.

When people ask me about good restaurants in Fukuoka City, this is one of my favorite places to eat, and it's always on their recommended list!

You'll be amazed by the high-quality Japanese cuisine! A hidden izakaya in the Ohashi area, "Kakureya Hanare" (Ohashi, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City)

Located about a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Ohashi Station, Kakureya Hanare reopened in December 2024. I heard from an acquaintance that the food was very high quality and delicious, so I decided to visit, even though it's a little far from where I live.

The slightly low entrance door already gives it the appearance of a hideaway.

The restaurant has counter seats and sunken kotatsu tables, creating a cozy atmosphere.

A variety of side dishes are lined up in front of the counter seats facing the kitchen.

Let me introduce the menu we had that day.

Recommended! A taste report of the delicious menu

Appetizer

The "appetizer" (330 yen per person) on this day was mozuku soup. The rich flavor of the dashi fills your mouth with an amazing taste.

I was captivated from the very first dish.

Assorted wild fish sashimi

The "Wild Fish Sashimi Platter" (1 portion 1,518 yen, 2 portions 2,830 yen, 3 portions 4,158 yen) is an assortment of about six types of the most delicious fresh fish of the day.

We enjoyed tuna topped with sea urchin, whale ridges, Akoya shellfish topped with salmon roe, and octopus.

It comes with a round rice ball, so you can add your favorite sashimi and make it like mini sushi.

Japanese Black Beef Misuji with Japonaise Sauce

This dish was also impressive: "Japanese Black Beef Misuji with Japonaise Sauce" (2,068 yen).

Juicy, meaty, and sweet Japanese Black Beef is served with a special Japonaise sauce.

The mellow sauce was also excellent, further enhancing the flavor of the meat.

Healthy shabu-shabu with Kyushu pork belly and lettuce

"Healthy Shabu-shabu with Kyushu Pork Belly and Lettuce" (1,738 yen for one portion, 3,278 yen for two portions) is a perfect combination of the delicious flavors of the special Japanese-style broth and pork!

The hot pot contains a generous amount of lettuce, which is crisp and moist, yet soft when soaked in the broth.

The pork has a gentle sweetness and the broth is so tasty that I wanted to drink it all up.

This time I was too full to try it, but I now have a reason to come back again: "I want to try the 'Shime no zosui' (418 yen) made with this broth..."

Chicken tempura with mustard and ponzu sauce

Crispy and lightly fried "Chicken Tempura Mustard Ponzu" (748 yen).

The batter is light and crispy, while the inside is plump and juicy!

Deep fried shrimp with mayonnaise sauce

"Fried Shrimp with Mayonnaise Sauce" (968 yen) is a dish of lightly fried shrimp garnished with crispy shrimp crackers.

The mellow mayonnaise sauce and squeezed lemon give it a refreshing taste.

Braised pork

The "Braised Pork Kakuni" (748 yen) is a mild, melt-in-your-mouth delicious dish.

The flavor is infused in a refined way, and the taste is luxurious. The moment I put it in my mouth, I exclaimed, "It's delicious!"

Obanzai

I was very impressed by the high quality of each dish, but I was especially impressed with the Obanzai (from 380 yen). Each dish was flavored with a subtle dashi broth.

This is "Hakata Gameni" (528 yen). Burdock, carrots, daikon radish, shiitake mushrooms, chicken, and other ingredients have a refined and elegant taste, making it a unique and delicious dish! This is a must-try dish even for those who don't like vegetables.

The "Beef Tendon and Daikon" (638 yen) is a dish that is characterized by its clear, flavorful broth. The flavor is infused into the daikon and beef tendon, creating an unforgettable taste.

The "Miso-Miso Green Pepper" (418 yen) is a crispy and juicy green pepper dipped in homemade miso. The freshness of the green pepper and the rich yet mildly seasoned miso meat were a perfect match.

Drink

There is a wide variety of drinks available. This time, I ordered the "Freshly Squeezed Lemon Sour" (638 yen) and the "Freshly Squeezed Kiwi Calpis Sour" (638 yen).

Image: CHIHIRO

The sour drink is served in a glass and garnished with fresh fruit, which you can squeeze and add to the glass yourself!

The satisfying drink left me feeling full of happiness.
