Enjoy "Oyama-style" motsunabe (hot pot) at the main store, where the flavor of carefully selected ingredients is alive and well.
It is the headquarter of a popular motsunabe restaurant that has expanded to Tokyo, Osaka, and Aichi, with 21 branches nationwide. Many customers visit the restaurant every day for "Oyama-style Hakata Motsu-nabe," which is made with carefully selected ingredients and perfected through a process of trial and error. The motsu used are carefully selected only from Wagyu beef, mainly from Kyushu. In addition, only the small intestines of young, fatty beef are used, and each slice is cut into 10g pieces to achieve a plump and superb texture.
Three types of soup are available. The standard "motsunabe miso flavor," which is ordered by about 90% of customers, is a blend of several kinds of miso, including Kyushu miso and Saikyo miso, with a special sauce to create a "rich and delicious" taste. The "motsunabe soy sauce flavor," which combines a proprietary blend of soy sauce sauce and triple broth of motsu, vegetables, and seafood, and the light-flavored "motsunabe mizutaki style," served with ponzu vinegar with grated radish, are also popular.
The restaurant also offers Hakata-style side dishes such as "Soft Beef Sumotsu," made from beef entrails, "Three Kinds of Horse Sashimi," which is purchased directly from a ranch in Kumamoto, and "Oyama's Hakata Mentaiko," which has a clear grain texture.

When traveling to Fukuoka, the highlight of dinner naturally has to be trying one of the area's most iconic local specialties—Hakata motsunabe! After carefully considering the options, we chose the extremely popular Hakata Motsunabe Oyama. After actually eating there, I completely understand why it's so popular and highly rated!
As soon as we walked in, the lively yet welcoming atmosphere made us feel very relaxed. We ordered their signature miso-flavored motsunabe. When the piping-hot, bubbling pot arrived at the table, the rich aroma of miso immediately filled the air. Just seeing and smelling it was enough to whet our appetites.
The beef intestines were cleaned very well and had none of the unpleasant odor that can put people off. With each bite, the outside had a slightly springy chew, while the fat inside instantly melted in my mouth. It was incredibly rich, plump, and juicy! Paired with chives and cabbage that had soaked up the rich miso flavor, along with springy champon noodles saturated with broth, every bite was intensely flavorful yet surprisingly hard to stop eating. Having a bowl in slightly chilly weather warmed me from my stomach to my heart—it was truly a luxurious treat.
The rich flavor may be a little heavy for some people, but it pairs perfectly with a refreshing drink or beer. I highly recommend making dinner plans at Hakata Motsunabe Oyama when visiting Fukuoka and savoring this classic soul food of Hakata that will make you a fan after one taste!
