In these charming rooms, diners can savor various dishes made with Hakata jidori, a renowned chicken brand from Fukuoka Prefecture. The menu includes hot pot, yakitori, salads, and more, with over 50 items to choose from.
Relish the rich flavor of chicken with mizutaki nabe hot pot
To fully appreciate the restaurant’s specialty, Hakata jidori, the “Whole Hakata Jidori Collagen Mizutaki Nabe” is recommended. Mizutaki nabe is a kind of hot pot dish mainly using boiling water and meat. Chicken is the specialty in Kyūshū Island, where Fukuoka is located.
This hot pot, available for two or more people, features collagen and five different parts of the Hakata jidori chicken, along with vegetables.

To prepare the soup, bone-in chicken thigh is added to extract the broth. Once it boils, collagen is added to the mix. The resulting soup is smooth and fragrant, rich with the umami of chicken. The longer it cooks, the more of the chicken’s essence is extracted from the bone-in thigh, resulting in a rich and flavorful broth.
The set includes five types of meat: gizzard, neck, thigh, skirt and “chicken meatball with vegetable” (their version of tsukune, a type of Japanese meatball usually made with chicken). The thigh is tender, the gizzard has a crunchy texture, and both the neck and skirt stand out with their delightful textures when cooked.

The tsukune, served in bamboo tubes, are cut into bite-sized pieces and added to the hot pot. Mixed with spices, they become soft and flavorful, absorbing the soup’s richness.

The final step is one of the joys of eating hot pot.
At Hakata Jidori Fukuei Kumiai, you can choose from dumplings, ramen, or zōsui (Japanese rice porridge) to finish your meal. While all are tempting, zosui is recommended to fully enjoy the broth’s rich flavor. As the rice absorbs the delicious broth, you can savor it to the last drop.

After adding rice, don’t forget to stir in the beaten egg. The half-cooked egg adds a fluffy texture, enhancing the dish.
Top the zosui with green onions and sesame seeds for a refreshing taste and aroma that perfectly complements the chicken broth.
Enjoy six flavors with a steak of Hakata jidori chicken!
While Hakata jidori is excellent in hot pot dishes, it’s equally delicious grilled.
“もも炙り焼き,” Grilled Hakata Jidori Chicken Thigh 1,408 JPY (tax included)
The “Grilled Hakata Jidori Chicken Thigh” features a thick steak-like chicken thigh grilled to perfection, offering a tender yet crisp texture.
Served with six different seasonings—”Kuroshichimi” (literally “black seven spice”) spice mix, kosanshō (powdered sanshō Japanese pepper), seaweed salt, sun-dried salt, yuzu koshō (a paste of chili pepper and yuzu citrus), and sudachi (a small, tart, green citrus fruit)—each bite brings a new flavor experience.

Start with the yuzu koshō for a refreshing citrus flavor that balances the juicy chicken.
Next, try the mild seaweed salt or sun-dried salt, both of which enhance the natural umami of Hakata jidori.
For a spicier kick, combine the powdered Japanese pepper and Kuroshichimi spice mix from the renowned Kyoto spice shop Hararyoukaku. The spicy and aromatic flavors elevate the taste of Hakata jidori to a new level.
Find out why their egg on rice is “ultimate”
For a perfect end to the meal, try the “Itamae Chef Direct Transmission Ultimate Yakitori Egg Rice.” The expression “direct transmission” in their English menu refers to the head chef’s knowledge being passed down directly to the restaurant so that this dish can be made.
“板前長直伝究極の焼き鳥たまごかけご飯,” Itamae Chef Direct Transmission Ultimate Yakitori Egg Rice 715 JPY (tax included)
The grilled chicken, marinated in an original soy-based sauce, is aromatic and tender. The sauce is thoroughly infused into the chicken, ensuring its rich flavor stands up to the rich and creamy egg yolk.
Naturally, the egg yolk is also from Hakata jidori chicken eggs.
The spicy special sauce adds an extra layer of flavor, making it exceptional. The egg yolk pairs deliciously with the chicken, so be sure to try it before savoring it with the white rice.
Finally, thoroughly mix the rice and egg yolk. The combination of yolk, flavorful grilled chicken, and sauce results in an exquisite taste experience. As the flavors harmonize and spread across your palate, you’ll realize why it’s the “ultimate” egg on rice dish.
Hakata Jidori Fukuei Kumiai Shibuya offers an array of chicken dishes made with high-quality Hakata jidori.
