Very nice clip! Informative and not the usual tourist spots. We lived for years in Nakasu, Fukuoka and used to bicycle 15 minutes to the fish market and the Port Tower area with great fish and seafood at reasonable prices for lunch and stuff to bring home. The market itself is not open to the public. I have a friend though who runs a sushi place in Ohashi and he brought me there a couple of times, it is impressive. Yes, amazing quality in konbinis like Lawson, Family Mart and 7/11. The pork with cabbage on a sizzling plate is really good and also the grilled unagi/anago with sauce. Eel is being cultivated or semi-cultivated in Japan so one can eat it with good conscience. But the future is ofc cell grown eel, as many other fine foods. We were to the Yoshizuka Unagi several times, highly recommended. There was also a good eel place in Hakata station on like the eight floor. If anyone have doubts or read anything about Nakasu, some people call it red light district, it is totally wrong. It is perfectly safe, there are girls and boys bars, but no prostitution or crime. I recommend the yatais - food stalls along the river towards Canal City. And I highly recommend a visit to Fukuoka in general. Arigato!
Wow thank you for this authentic comment - seems like you really knew Fukuoka inside out! I want to try the eel place in Hakata station that you mentioned. I bet the restaurants at the fish market are all good. Nakasu seemed interesting - I'm willing to explore the area more. Fukuoka definitely had a more chill vibe than Tokyo and I feel there is so much more to explore. I have other videos on Tokyo as well - let me know if you've ever been!
@@hungrymonster42 I do not know if the unagi place in Hakata Station is still there. I have not been back since 4 years to Fukuoka. There is/was also an Okinawan place almost next door, very good, goya champuru and fermented tofu. Also Nishinakasu across the river from Nakasu is worth exploring, many small, good restaurants in tiny alleys. Also Sumiyoshi south of Canal City and around Yakuin/Shirogane. Minoshima have some Korean and also Indian restos. Now in the colder season I recommend a trip with the densha to Itoshima to eat grilled oysters and seafood in the tents on the quais. There is so much more to explore. Yes, have been to Tokyo, my gf lived there for 16 years. We used to go with the shinkansen to Tokyo with ekiben boxes :-) Yes, got to know Fukuoka well, 10 years and a good bicycle!
