Hakata Uokura

Located in Fukuoka, one of Japan’s premier gourmet cities, Hakata Uokura is a refined Japanese restaurant where you can indulge in the freshest seasonal seafood—including premium catches like nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) and yariika (spear squid).

Seafood is delivered daily from nearby areas such as Itoshima Peninsula and Katsumoto Port in Iki, ensuring top quality. Skilled chefs bring out the natural flavors of each ingredient through a variety of cooking methods—from sashimi and sushi to tempura and flame-searing.

A standout dish is the restaurant’s signature Live Yariika Sashimi. Freshly caught in Yobuko and kept in the restaurant’s tank until just before serving, the squid is presented at its peak. Its translucent flesh offers a crisp bite, beautifully complemented by a house-made sweet soy sauce. Another must-try is the local Fukuoka specialty Hakata Goma Saba—fresh mackerel paired with a rich sesame sauce.

The drink menu includes a selection of local Kyushu sake, along with beer and highballs, making for perfect pairings with the fresh seafood.

The interior exudes calm elegance with natural wood and stone accents. Dishes are served in exquisite Arita-yaki and Satsuma Kiriko glassware, adding to the visual experience. Open for both lunch and dinner, Hakata Uokura is ideal for any occasion.
