- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at ひょご鳥福岡店 at ひょご鳥福岡店
Eating out in Japan cam be sometimes painfully expensive. However there is also another side to it. A recommendation from a friend for a quick meal after a baseball game yielded this place.

A yakitori where one can eat a 10 course Omakase meal for ¥3,000, at the current exchange rate €20. The chicken are sourced from Fukuoka and Kagoshima, both cities on the most southern island, Kyushu. Of course you get all parts of the chicken and some of it raw.
All of it superbly grilled and very delicious. Less

This Italian trained Chef produces everything from scratch during the meal. In his kitchen there is not one machine, the steam oven is used to heat up the plates. This makes the meal extremely long but very entertaining, even educational. The family of the Chef owns also a farm with 96 kettles. This farm delivers a lot if not most of the ingredients... More
This Italian trained Chef produces everything from scratch during the meal. In his kitchen there is not one machine, the steam oven is used to heat up the plates. This makes the meal extremely long but very entertaining, even educational. The family of the Chef owns also a farm with 96 kettles. This farm delivers a lot if not most of the ingredients of the meal.
The food is delicious and superbly executed. There were 9 courses of which the sirloin of course takes center stage. However, all other dishes were also good and delivered extraordinary pleasure.
This places is certainly worth a special trip, but be warned it takes a very long time, so maybe lunch is better than dinner. Less

A small chain specializing in Sichuan Cuisine /Chinese /Dandan noodles founded by Mr. Chin, a famous, somewhat portly Chef with a greater the life personality.
Very decent food at rock bottom prices with the most expensive course, the shark fin registering at ¥2000, a steal.

The current Number 1 in Germany, Christian Bau continues to refine his Paris Tokyo approach.

The current Number 1 in Germany, Christian Bau continues to refine his Paris Tokyo approach. The beauty of his dishes are only matched by his skillful layering of subtle tastes on top of other subtle tastes to create a culinary “Gesamtkunstwerk”. The food gets matched by the formidable Nina Mann who easily lives up to the challenge of delivering a pure German wine pairing. The dinner is well paced and gets delivery and explained competently by the excellent front office staff.
If there is one thing one want to mention, it is the decor. Sometimes I wonder if somebody like Christian Bau and his team would deserve a restaurant which matches the esthetics of the food?
A must when in Germany. It is closer than you think. Less

Sakai san continues to produce outstanding otsumami and nigiris. I like the seasoning of his rice a lot, well balanced between sweetness, texture and acidity. He added a sommelier this year, who tries to match the food with a mixture of wines and sakes. I, being European, think the sakes are a much better match as they release mor umami from the nigiris.... More

He added a sommelier this year, who tries to match the food with a mixture of wines and sakes. I, being European, think the sakes are a much better match as they release mor umami from the nigiris. This, however, is a matter of personal taste. Less
