もつ鍋おおやま 博多デイトス店 Motsu Nabe Ooyama @Hakata, Japan

After a long train ride from Kumamoto to Hakata, and dropping our luggage at our hotel, we went in search for lunch.

We still recalled the very nice もつ鍋 Motsu Nabe which we had tried at a yatai stall in Fukuoka years ago. So when we saw this restaurant specialising in Motsu Nabe, we went in without hesitation.

We ordered the Motsu Nabe Set Meal for 2 pax (¥2560), where we could opt for either rice or Champon noodles. The set also included sides such as Hakata Spicy Cod Roe (raw), Okyuto (seaweed jelly), and pickles (citron radish).

We enjoyed the side dishes, but the Motsu Nabe was quite a disappointment with very little offals… There was probably much more tofu than anything else 😦 The soup and noodles were not bad though.

Note: Menu was available in English, Korean, and Chinese, so it was fairly easy to order.
