Overview

The yatai alley near Tenjin's Showa-dori and the Bank of Japan is one of the most iconic representations of Fukuoka's yatai culture. Yatai lining Showa-dori each offer unique menus, ranging from classic yatai fare like yakisoba (stir-fried noodles), motsunabe (hot pot with offal), and yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) to creative, original dishes. Yakisoba, in particular, is incredibly popular as a Fukuoka yatai specialty. Each yatai crafts its own original yakisoba, all delicious and definitely worth trying a few different versions. Motsunabe, a well-known Fukuoka local dish, also features prominently. The motsunabe at the yatai offers a unique flavor experience different from what you might find at home. Many yatai stay open late, making them perfect not just for dinner but also for a late-night snack. This is the ideal spot for anyone looking to savor delicious food and drinks in a lively atmosphere.
