Takezaki crabs are available almost year around. From summer into fall the male crabs are delicious, with the females and their eggs most delicious during the autumn and winter. You could even try one of each.     You can enjoy this wide variety of crab dishes including fried crab, grilled crab, crab dumplings, crab chawanmushi (a Japanese egg custard dish), stir-fried crab, creamy crab risotto, crab gratin, and steamed crab. The crabmeat gives you sweetness with every bite. The best way to end a nice steamed crab is with “shell sake,” where you drink sake from the crab shell. You should try this with hot sake, which lets you enjoy the crab flavor more and warms your body.         Home  Customized Private tour   Christian Pilgrimage tour　Golf tour   What our Customers have to say       About us   Contact us  Terms and Conditions   Privacy …

           Food stalls “Yatai” is one thing to enjoy in Fukuoka. Despite a decline in recent year, there are said to be more than 160. The food stalls have all kind of food, but you have to try Hakata ramen, usually made with white soup from pork bone and thin noodles. When you order, you can specify noodle texture, such as yawa, meaning “soft”, or bari-kata, meaning  “very hard”. In local dialect bari means “very”.  Anther unique thing is kaedama.   The thin noodles takes moments to cook, so you can just order an additional noodle serving, but don’t drink too much soup before ordering more noodles. Besides ramen stalls, there are gyoza dumpling stall, Western-style bar stalls and more. It’s hard to pick out just one. The stalls have a unique and strange appeal. Eating in such cozy spaces with others creates  a friendly feel of community.
