Our time with Bruce was one of the highlights of Fukuoka, and helped us fall in love with the city! Bruce has serious Anthony Bourdain vibes. We were joined by guides Tony and Toki, and together had a fantastic evening of food, history, conversation, and basking in Bruce’s clear love for the city and its people. I’m vegetarian, my spouce is not, and at each stop Bruce made sure we were both happy and taken care of. Mochi kinchaku oden, freshly stir fried vegetables, yakisoba, so many options!! Our tour was a Sunday evening, so certain stalls were closed and our plans flexed and flowed beautifully throughout the evening. It led us to a couple of unplanned yatai that were so delicious, we used the skills Bruce taught us to go back again and again on other nights. Toki even taught us the local phase for delicious, “ばりうま!” which thrilled everyone we used it on. The food was ridiculously good, and all the stalls we visited were filled with locals. Afterwards we went to Bruce’s favorite most scenic 7-Eleven in the city for the best ice cream bars to round out a phenomenal evening. We’ll treasure our memories of Fukuoka.

It is a surprising, delightful, and once-in-a-lifetime tour. We absolutely would not have been able to dine at these exceptional Yatai without Bruce's superb guiding. Incredible atmosphere, even better bites. And Bruce made it all fun and easygoing. Probably the best food tour I've ever been on, and I've been on many! Thank you to Bruce for sharing this special part of the world with us.

Bruce was an exceptional tour guide—easy going, knowledgeable, and deeply connected to the heart of Fukuoka’s yatai culture. His rapport with the yatai operators was immediately evident; it felt like we were being welcomed not just by vendors, but by friends. Some of the regulars greeted him with genuine joy, a testament to the relationships he’s built up at these establishments. Fellow travelers were impressed by his effortless Japanese, which comes as no surprise given his 40 years of living in Fukuoka. With Bruce leading the way, the experience felt less like a tour and more like an insider’s night out in the city, experiencing the original and less touristy yatai scene as well as some of the super popular spots. Just be warned, (4) yatai stalls is a lot of food!

Discover the Rich Flavors of Fukuoka

Fukuoka, a vibrant city on Japan's Kyushu Island, is renowned for its unique culinary offerings and bustling food scene. Whether you're a seasoned food lover or just beginning to explore Japanese cuisine, there's no better place to dive into rich flavors and traditional dishes than Fukuoka.

As the gateway to Kyushu, Fukuoka serves as an entry point to a wide array of food experiences that are sure to delight your taste buds.

Unmissable Culinary Experiences

The heart of Fukuoka's culinary scene lies in its street food. The city is dotted with yatai, or mobile food stalls, offering quick and delicious bites such as yakitori, ramen, and tempura. A must-try is the Hakata ramen, known for its creamy pork broth and thin noodles, which is best enjoyed in a lively yatai atmosphere. For seafood lovers, Fukuoka provides an abundance of fresh catch from local markets, including sashimi and sushi prepared with the day's freshest ingredients. Additionally, the city's vibrant local markets, such as Yanagibashi Rengo Market, offer pearls of culinary treasures ranging from colorful produce to artisanal Japanese sweets. Each dish tells a story of Fukuoka's rich culture and historical prominence as a port city.

Savor Authentic Local Traditions

Aside from street food, Fukuoka is home to an array of restaurants offering regional specialties that capture the essence of local dining traditions. Try mizutaki, a comforting chicken hot pot flavored with a rich broth and fresh vegetables, or motsunabe, a hearty stew made from beef or pork offal that perfectly encapsulates the warmth of Fukuoka hospitality. Exploring the local izakayas will introduce you to a variety of small plates and local sake, providing an authentic taste of the city's nightlife. These experiences do not only offer delicious meals but also provide an opportunity to immerse yourself in the social culture of Fukuoka. Whether you're there for the food or the experience, the culinary journey through Fukuoka promises countless memorable moments.
