Whether it's an anniversary, a business dinner, a family celebration, or a long-awaited reunion with close friends, life's milestones and cherished moments call for a special place and heartfelt cuisine. With so many restaurants to choose from, you might find yourself wondering what criteria to use when selecting a venue. It's not just about delicious food; it's about the atmosphere, the service, and a space that fits the purpose of your gathering.

To meet these needs, our restaurant offers a relaxing space and high-quality cuisine, starring our Hakata Mizutaki, which faithfully reproduces the authentic flavors of Fukuoka. We welcome you with meticulous hospitality, paying attention to every detail to ensure your day is truly unforgettable.

Unforgettable Hospitality: A Special Time with Hakata Mizutaki

Our signature Hakata Mizutaki faithfully follows Fukuoka's tradition, boasting a cloudy white broth made by simmering carefully selected chicken bones for hours. The experience begins by first savoring a sip of this rich, savory soup to enjoy the condensed, gentle flavor of the chicken. Fresh chicken and seasonal vegetables from local partner farms are then added, bringing out the best in each ingredient. Gathering around the pot, nurturing it as it cooks, sparks lively conversation and creates a heartwarming atmosphere.

Authentic Flavors in Ishiyama

• Golden Broth: Simmered for hours while being carefully skimmed, our broth is rich in collagen—a delightful treat for your skin. It has a deep, savory flavor, yet the aftertaste is clean and elegant. You'll surely be amazed by the difference from the very first sip.
• Select Chicken: We use carefully selected brand-name chicken known for its robust flavor. This thick, juicy chicken pairs perfectly with our special ponzu sauce and yuzu kosho, and our guests often tell us they can't get enough of it.
• Seasonal Vegetables: We use an abundance of the most delicious local, fresh vegetables of the season to further enrich the flavor of the mizutaki. Enjoy the natural sweetness and texture of the vegetables.

For special occasions like business dinners and anniversaries, we promise that our Hakata Mizutaki will create a moving and memorable experience. Please choose our mizutaki for your important conversations with loved ones. We will provide a special time where smiles bloom and conversation flows with every dish served.
