Japan's unique sidewalk restaurants, yatai, are disappearing nationwide but are thriving in Fukuoka, transforming the city into a culinary hotspot. Every evening, chefs set up these intimate food stalls where locals and visitors enjoy delicious dishes, such as the regionally famed mentaiko. The lively atmosphere and diverse menu create a vibrant nightlife, attracting crowds eager to experience Fukuoka's street-food culture. As the sun rises, these stalls vanish, marking the end of another night filled with culinary delights and social interactions for food lovers.
Every night around 6pm, chefs wheel up and put together these yatai stalls along the city's downtown streets. A bustling nightlife scene emerges as patrons crowd into the tiny sidewalk restaurants.
The dish is sweet, salty, decidedly umami. It's creatively plated and, honestly, a bit thrilling to be eating on a sidewalk in 50-degree weather.
