Last day in Fukuoka/Hakata. I spend it shopping on my own at Hakata JR City area, while my husband went for the Evangelion Exhibition. I actually bought clothes while shopping! Got a t-shirt I wanted for only 500yen! Which was less than 5sgd! Got it from Uniqlo in on of their off-season bin. Score! After that, I met up with the husband at a restaurant we first dine at when we landed in Fukuoka. Good start, good end!
Sorry for the dim lighting. The restaurant was kinda dark. We were there just for lunch, so we just sat at the counter since the place was pretty packed! I know some people hate sitting at counter seats, but I actually love it, cause there are just so much more to see while eating! It's almost like a dining show!
We went for traditional fish set and enjoyed every single bite of it.
It was a family restaurant, but the range of sake served here is amazing! The husband did tried some.
For dinner, I decided that I needed to try the Motsunabe once before I leave Fukuoka. This was intestine hotpot, and I told myself I would eat this if I won't the 5000Yen prize money from a contest, since I mentioned this as one of the things I wanted to try. I wanted to try their Yatai food too, but that was rather intimidating, and we didn't really went to those streets with Yatai Food. Anyway, Motsunade for dinner! And it cost way above my 5000Yen! Hahahaha. That was because we ordered a set meal instead of just the hotpot.
I love that it has so much chives on it. And the soup was super nice and creamy and hearty! I would eat this again any time! It was delicious and I can understand now why it was the soul food of Fukuoka. It just warms the heart when you eat this. Goes well with almost anything!
I also managed to try this Canele from the Hakata JR Station. It's opened by a French man living in Japan, and I've been following his instagram. Since I was here, I thought I'll support him buy buying some of his snacks. I follow a lot of Japanese instagrammer and Youtuber and I do support them, usually by buying their books as most YouTubers also sold books.
We also managed a last sushi meal at the sushi restaurant at Canal City before we left.
This time we just ordered plates and plates of sushi instead of any set.
Me and my tower or sushi plates! I don't know if it's rude or not to stack up the plates, but it was a habit I picked up from my foster family in Hiroshima last time. Sushi was a food the kids love and get excited about. And no, Japanese don't eat sushi everyday! It's practically a treat for them too!
Time to leave beautiful Kyushu.
Not much to eat at the airport lounge, so I entertained myself with these small snacks.
Had some simple noodles and coffee and that was about it. Premium Lounge is probably the most un-exciting airport lounge to go to.
Oh well, free food is still food! Got to load up before the long flight home. Bye bye Kyushu! You have been amazing and I would love to come back as I still have so much more places I wanted to visit but didn't get a chance to. Stay safe! Until we meet again!
So ends our trip to Kyushu. For the next blog entry, I am thinking of doing my China Beijing trip instead of another Japan trip. This is to also motivate myself to plan for my September 2025 Shanghai semi-solo trip. So let's see! I might have to take a short break to sort out the photos though. Hopefully I can still manage a daily post without a break as I would like to keep my momentum of posting daily.
