Few people know that Fukuoka’s Hakata Bay and Buzen Sea yield delicious blue crabs. Male crabs are in season through November—right around the time of the Kyushu Sumo Tournament—when their flavor is at its richest. This special fair dish features deep-fried Fukuoka blue crab simmered in a mild chili sauce blended with dashi made from kelp and bonito. Although chili-based, the soup isn’t spicy, so even those who don’t like heat—or children—can enjoy it. With the crab standing tall in the bubbling pot, it almost looks like a sumo champion in the ring!
This upscale izakaya serves the best of Kyushu’s seasonal delicacies along with an impressive lineup of sake. The restaurant is especially known for its fresh seafood, sourced directly from the Fukuoka Fish Market and local fishermen. Guests can choose between table seating or private rooms.
