Fall in Fukuoka not only brings blue skies but also Hakata Akihaku, a two-month long autumn festa with over twenty events taking place within Hakata Ward. Check our website for details in English. Our restaurant pick this month is Toriichi, a one-man yakitori counter in Kego. Simple. Delicious. Unique. Then for noodles, we visited Emi Udon in Yakuin where handmade soft noodles are served with a savory chicken dipping sauce. For a bar we choose Sando Wine Ko in Hakata-ku. In fine weather the roof is rolled back and guests can sip wine alfresco. Be sure to try their authentic raclette too. Also in Hakata-ku, we introduce the 33 Cafe Green. There drinks, desserts, sandwiches and soups all made with green juice are on offer. It might look like green tea, but everything is made with a healthy green vegetable extract. Finally, this month’s Itoshima Now page introduces a hiking trail, a vegetable stand, butcher shop and more. Download this PDF or visit us online for all the deets!
