Enjoy the authentic taste of Hakata right here in Tokyo with a superb Motsunabe that satisfies both your body and soul.
Experience the rich sweetness of plump, stringy motsu and the aroma of garlic rising with the steam. Just one bite will delight all five senses. If you could enjoy true Hakata-style Motsunabe in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, who could resist a visit?
Our Motsunabe uses domestically produced beef intestines, sourced directly from Kyushu. They are carefully prepared to retain the rich flavor of the fat while thoroughly removing any unpleasant odors or aftertastes. When heated, the motsu glistens with a beautiful sheen. Once in your mouth, it melts with unmatched tenderness and a deep, rich umami flavor.
The soup is a traditional soy sauce-based broth. We blend soy sauce from a renowned shop in Hakata with dashi made from domestic ingredients. Garlic and chili peppers add a bold kick, enhancing both the depth of flavor and the aroma, perfectly complementing the umami of the motsu. Cabbage and Chinese chives absorb the soup’s flavor, releasing their natural sweetness while retaining a satisfying crisp texture with every bite.
The reason you can enjoy authentic Hakata flavors in Tokyo is because we offer soup variations popular in Kyushu, such as miso-based and salt-based broths. You’re sure to find your own “best Motsunabe” tailored to your taste.
The highlight of Motsunabe is Champon Noodles as a finish. These noodles, infused with the rich flavor of the simmered soup, have an irresistibly chewy texture. It’s a luxurious finale that makes you want to savor every last drop.
In the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a Hakata street stall, surrounded by warmth and vitality. Sharing a bubbling pot with friends becomes a special moment, soothing the fatigue of everyday life.
Experience the authentic taste of Hakata in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
