Among gourmet businessmen in Japan, Hakata has a good reputation as the best place for business trip.
Out of many Hakata food, the most dynamic one should be ikesu squid!

Ikesu is alive seafood, and in Hakata Ikesu restaurant, squid are directly sent from Yobuko port nearby.













This is the shop I was recommended by Hakata locals, and had a chance to invite my important guests from Tokyo.
More than food, the room and the shopowner Koga-san is so nice.

To go to koga, you just tell a taxi driver, `Take me to Koga restaurant near Sumiyoshi Bridge’.
It’s about 10 minutes by taxt from Hakata Station or Tenjin city center.
