Motsunabe First-Timer? Go HERE! This was our very first experience trying Motsunabe (Fukuoka's famous beef offal hotpot), and Motsunabe Ichifuji (もつ鍋 一藤) absolutely set the bar high! We were slightly hesitant about the offal, but the soup base is truly UNREAL. Despite its incredibly rich appearance, the broth is phenomenal, and there was zero gameyness to the meat. It was pure, savory, umami comfort. We had the miso-based stock, and it was the perfect meal—incredibly warming and satisfying, especially for a chilly winter night. The combination of the hearty vegetables, chewy offal, and rich soup is a masterpiece. The restaurant is highly popular, so booking ahead is recommended, but this is a must-try Fukuoka specialty. Highly, highly recommend!
Made reservation in advance. When we arrived was promptly brought to our table. Seating area consists of a long table with separators. Ordered their famous miso based offal with beancurd. Also tried their horse meat sashimi. Food wise tasted great, however the soup based gets thick the longer you eat. Ordered sake too. Friendly service especially from the Indonesian waiter!!
It was my first time trying motsunabe, and I think every traveler should try it if you want a real local experience. I actually found it pretty good, especially when you add champon noodles.
