Fukuoka Yatai - Food Stalls
2007-04-14 03:04:00 ?????The eating experience for visitors to Fukuoka is having dinner at one of the hundreds of food stalls (yatai) that dot Fukuoka's main entertainment areas of Tenjin and Nakagawa.The food on offer is usually Fukuoka's legendary ramen (Chinese noodles), oden (stewed meat & vegetables in a soy sauce), gyoza (fried Chinese dumplings), yakitori (grilled chicken) and other mostly fried fare, washed down with tea, beer, sake or shochu.The most famous place to sample Fukuoka's yatai is in the Nakasu entertainment district on the Naka River.Some places may have a queue of 50 people waiting to eat at a dozen seats, while other stalls are customer free. The food is not cheap and may set you back around 30-50 USD for just a few, often lukewarm dishes and a beer.

Shikanoshima, Fukuoka
2007-04-11 01:16:00 ???Though Japan?s eighth-largest city?only a tiny bit smaller than Kyoto?Fukuoka is still in many ways much more laid back than other Japanese cities its size. Part of that no doubt is because of nearby beaches.The most accessible of these beaches can be found at Shikanoshima.Shikanoshima is an island that is connected to and now legally incorporated as part of Fukuoka City. On a causeway, it is no more than 20-25 minutes by car from downtown to the island.Another option is to take the local ferry (pictured at right). An express goes directly to Shikanoshima; a local stops at Saitozaki and one other small port. The boat is as smooth as can be. Even in rough winds, we moved comfortably through the water.It is also possible to take the train to Saitozaki, and then ride a local bus.The island is interesting not just because it is so rural and has beautiful beaches but also because of its history.The Gold Seal of the "Kan no Wa no Na no Kokuo?

More Culinary Oddities from Fukuoka
2007-03-18 08:07:00 I noticed a pair of articles over at Mainichi Shinbun about some unusual culinary finds in Fukuoka Prefecture over the weekend. The first was a giant daikon found in Kitakyushu that looks like a foot. It's kinda gross, but it sure does look like a foot! The other was for a restaurant in Hakata that plans to start selling fois gras burgers *shudders*. I think I'd much rather keep hamburgers and sheep liver as far away from one another as possible, but maybe the hoidy-toidy types are into that thing. It's just one more food related mystery to emerge from these islands...

Giant Strawberry in Fukuoka
2007-03-11 02:14:00 A farmer in Miyako, Fukuoka harvested a 190 gram strawberry this weekend, which is an impressive feat given that this particular type of strawberry only averages around 30-50 grams. It looks pretty darn disgusting, though. You could dip the thing in a tub of chocolate and it wouldn't look any more appetizing. Yuck!"I've grown strawberries for 20 years, but I've never harvested such a big one," Nakasono said. "It's too big to be sold, so I'd like to display it for another day. I hope someone will eat it."Taking a look at other giant strawberry findings, there are some that look equally disgusting. Via: Mainichi Shinbun
