The Hakata Umakamon Ichi is a beloved annual fixture, renowned for showcasing a comprehensive array of Fukuoka’s gastronomic delights. This event assembles 69 vendors, each presenting their prized products, ranging from local staples and hidden gems from acclaimed eateries to the latest trending items and exclusive treats only available at the event. The market is a food lover’s paradise, offering an abundance of items to enjoy on-site, including Hakata Amaou strawberry parfaits, Hakata-style plate udon, and the exquisite Tai Chazuke from Kappo Yoshida. Adding to the allure, there’s a special pop-up featuring Tundra, Fukuoka’s cherished Russian restaurant that closed in 2021, and a temporary bar where visitors can savor craft beer and sake. This event is a perfect occasion to experience the diverse flavors of Fukuoka’s specialty shops all in one vibrant setting.
