Yatai food stalls, one of Fukuoka's attractions.
-
As the sun begins to fall, Yatai workers bring wheeled stalls to their designated locations & a long row of Yatai slowly forms. The Yatai offers grilled chicken skewers (yakitori), hot pot (oden) & the famous Hakata Ramen, a local noodle dish featuring relatively thin ramen noodles in a pork bone based soup (tonkotsu). Yatai are most concentrated in the Tenjin, Nagahama & Nakasu areas.
Contrasted with the modern nightscape of the city buildings, you can feel a lingering stmosphere of old days of Showa era once you duck under the stall curtains. You can visit any of those stalls & meet classic tastes & warm hearts of people.
I'd a great time eating ramen & yakitori while chatting with the friendly Oba-san. One comment though..... the ramen was too salty for our liking but the atmosphere was great. And mind you, do not expect prices to be cheap here. A bowl of ramen cost ¥600, which is comparable to the restaurants in the shopping centres & a slice of my favourite å¤§æ ¹(Radish) at the Oden stall cost ¥200! Read more....
