Like the famed folk hero of the same name, this restaurant in the Nikko Hotel Fukuoka stands tall as a giant of Japanese culinary tradition.

Restaurant Details

With affordable kaiseki courses, seasonal selections, and rare delicacies like soft-shell turtle and fugu blowfish, Benkei promises to satisfy any diner. In addition to top-of-the-line ingredients and technique, it proudly offers an array of meals for special occasions, from traditional Japanese celebrations for children and marriages to full service event catering. Depending on the season, diners can even indulge in a spa treatment and course menu combination plan, or take advantage of ongoing sake fairs to enjoy special tastings.


As is appropriate for a restaurant so close to the sea, Benkei’s seafood dishes have established a reputation for themselves, drawing a substantial crowd every day. Only the freshest fish of the season are granted the privilege of being chosen by its chefs. Seafood aside, Fukuoka’s high-quality produce is turned into crispy, golden tempura and vibrant vegetable dishes that honor Japan’s traditional cooking styles.


Weekday plans are especially cost-friendly, and even the chef’s omakase course is strikingly affordable for the level of expertise on display.
