Sakura and ohanami are the darlings of spring in Japan but this month we turn our attention to another much-loved part of Japanese culture and tradition – sake! While many think of Fukuoka as more of a shochu drinking town we discovered that it’s home to a huge array of premium sake producers. And to help you find them, we’ve posted an English language guide to 70 sake breweries in Fukuoka! Meanwhile, our interview this month is with one of the most successful and well known restaurateurs in Japan – Salvatore Cuomo a.k.a “The Pizza Man.” Hear his life story and how he came to live in Fukuoka. On our gourmet page we visit very a unique yatai, Hanayama, in Hakozaki. Finally, have you ever wondered where Watanabe-dori, the big boulevard in Tenjin, got its name? We give you the skinny on that and more in this month’s Fukuoka Topic section. Lots more good information for Fukuoka online too – so go and get it! Share it with your friends too!
