We spend a few days vintage shopping, thrifting, and discovering the amazing Yatai culture ๅฑๅฐ that is unique to Fukuoka.
#yatai is, of course, a Japanese street food stall, open only at night with long queues, intimate seating, and lots of lemon sours. This signature dining experience has become a classic Fukuokan pasttime.
Join us as we visit our top 3 yatai for this very local #fukuokafood experience:
Hakata Yatai Barakamon ๅๅคๅฑๅฐใฐใใใใ
Kagoshima Yocky ๅๅคใงใใใฃใพๅฑๅฐ้ ใฃใ
Mentai Chudoko ๆๅคชไธญๆฏ.
In every yatai we visited, we noticed the insanely delicious use of mentaiko (ๆๅคชๅญ) a slightly spicy cured pollack roe. From an omelette dripping with mentaiko and cheese to a plate of fried ramen topped with mentaiko, you can see why this must-try dish is a Fukuokan specialty.
We also visit a local favorite restuarant, Hakata Gomasabaya ๅๅค ใใพใใฐๅฑ, where a regional dish of raw mackerel with sesame ponzu takes center stage.
If youโre wondering what cafe we loved the most, Coffeesha Noda ็็ฒ่ใฎใ ๅคงๅๆฌๅบ definitely takes the cake (or pudding). A historical, 1960s kissaten experience, Noda will win you over with its freshly roasted coffee, homemade whipped cream, and finely dressed staff. A hidden gem in the Daimyo area.
Finally, we discover that vintage shopping is serious business in Fukuoka! We explore the Daimyo neighborhood, Fukuoka's answer to Tokyo's Shimokitazawa or Koenji. With just the right touch of trendy Omotesando and Ginza, this bustling district has everything a shopper could dream of. From Bic Camera to more niche specialty stores. We even snuck in a 35mm film photo shoot here and there.
Fukuoka, itโs so good to be back!

The typical japanese crossing sounds matched so well with the tune in the beginning. If on purpose, props to you!

You should come to Seoul and check out the Dongmyo Flea Market along the Cheonggyecheon Stream. The vendors spill over into the local neighborhood side streets and on weekends these roads are closed to traffic. Also tons of vintage clothes shops in the hip university area of Hongdae.

I was there at the end of March for the first time! I was guitar shopping on this trip and probably walked right by the Daimyo area without knowing it! I'll stop there next time! There were some cool vintage clothes and resale shops inside the big department stores. From South Korea it's only a one hour flight and super cheap airfare!!
