Nov. 29 is known as “niku no hi” or “Meat Day” in Japan. Niku means meat and is a play on the numbers 2 (“ni” in Japanese) and 9 (“kyuu” or “ku” in Japanese). Why not schedule a “meating” at some of Fukuoka Now’s recommended meaty spots in Fukuoka. (1) Ryuen – The only restaurant in Fukuoka City serving authentic Kobe Beef, (2) Wolfgang’s Steakhouse Fukuoka – serving USDA Prime Black Angus Beef, (3) Jujuan – (located near Kushida Shrine) – offers Kyushu Wagyu Beef and (4) Fukuoka Craft – for Mexican BBQ.
