Thrifting in Japan 🇯🇵 Vintage Shopping in Fukuoka Vlog, Best Yatai Food Stalls, Places to Eat 2024

Exploring the best of Fukuoka, Japan (福岡)! #fukuokajapan We spend a few days vintage shopping, thrifting, and discovering the amazing Yatai culture 屋台 that is unique to Fukuoka. #yatai is, of course, a Japanese street food stall, open only at night with long queues, intimate seating, and lots of lemon sours. This signature dining experience has become a classic Fukuokan pasttime. Join us as we visit our top 3 yatai for this very local #fukuokafood experience: Hakata Yatai Barakamon 博多屋台ばらかもん Kagoshima Yocky 博多でかごっま屋台酔っき Mentai Chudoko 明太中毒. In every yatai we visited, we noticed the insanely delicious use of mentaiko (明太子) a slightly spicy cured pollack roe. From an omelette dripping with mentaiko and cheese to a plate of fried ramen topped with mentaiko, you can see why this must-try dish is a Fukuokan specialty. We also visit a local favorite restuarant, Hakata Gomasabaya 博多 ごまさば屋, where a regional dish of raw mackerel with sesame ponzu takes center stage. If you’re wondering what cafe we loved the most, Coffeesha Noda 珈琲舎のだ 大名本店 definitely takes the cake (or pudding). A historical, 1960s kissaten experience, Noda will win you over with its freshly roasted coffee, homemade whipped cream, and finely dressed staff. A hidden gem in the Daimyo area. Finally, we discover that vintage shopping is serious business in Fukuoka! We explore the Daimyo neighborhood, Fukuoka's answer to Tokyo's Shimokitazawa or Koenji. With just the right touch of trendy Omotesando and Ginza, this bustling district has everything a shopper could dream of. From Bic Camera to more niche specialty stores. We even snuck in a 35mm film photo shoot here and there. Fukuoka, it’s so good to be back! Business inquiries: [email protected] Follow us on Instagram!
