HAKATA NIKUICHI: Affordable Kyushu Kuroge Wagyu in Hakata, Fukuoka

HAKATA NIKUICHI enjoys a convenient location about a 5-minute walk from the Chikushi Exit of Hakata Station.
Because it is close to Hakata Station, the largest transportation hub in Fukuoka, it is especially convenient for tourists.

This restaurant carefully sources Kuroge Wagyu from across Kyushu, including Saga, Miyazaki, and Kagoshima.
Meat from these regions, known as famous wagyu-producing areas, has a well-balanced ratio of fat to lean meat, and when grilled, it releases a savory aroma and rich umami.
By making use of long-established sourcing routes, the restaurant secures high-quality meat consistently.
Another of its strengths is that it serves premium yakiniku at reasonable prices.

Centered on wagyu, the restaurant offers a wide variety of menu items. In addition to different cuts such as beef tongue, brisket, rib roast, lean meat, and offal, it also offers pork and chicken dishes.
There is also a wide range of side dishes, including ishiyaki bibimbap (stone-pot bibimbap), Morioka reimen (cold noodles), and kimchi.
Another appeal is being able to enjoy a variety of dishes together with your yakiniku.

This is the signature menu item at HAKATA NIKUICHI.
It is an assortment that lets you enjoy seven kinds of wagyu at once, including rare cuts.
