Considered by some to be among the best yakitori in Japan, they sell out quickly, so don\u2019t be late! There will be a cocktail booth where Kurume\u2019s best bartenders prepare cocktails using ingredients such as shochu from Kumamoto, kabosu from Oita, local sake from Chikugo, amongst others. On the Sunday (Oct. 2) stalls will be selling yakitori using Kumamoto and Oita-grown ingredients and proceeds on this day will go towards Kumamoto earthquake relief (limited to 1 per person.)<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Kurume_Yakitori.png?resize=704%2C411\" alt=\"Kurume_Yakitori\" width=\"704\" height=\"411\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Kurume_Yakitori.png?w=704&amp;ssl=1 704w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Kurume_Yakitori.png?resize=300%2C175&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 10\/1 (Sat.), 10\/2 (Sun.)<br \/>\n\u2022 10\/1: 11:00~20:00 (Ceremony: 10:45~), 10\/2: 11:00~16:00 (or until supplies run out)<br \/>\n\u2022 Free entry<br \/>\n\u2022 Higashimachi Park<br \/>\n\u2022 26 Higashimachi, Kurume, Fukuoka<br \/>\n\u2022 0942-38-1811<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kurumeyakitori.or.jp\/fesuta.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.kurumeyakitori.or.jp\/fesuta.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Returning for its 14th year, this two-day festival draws crowds of 40,000 yakitori-lovers. 14 yakitori booths and 18 sake breweries fill the park with dishes priced between \u00a5300 ~ \u00a5500&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-91663","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","location-kurume","event-type-festival","en-US"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/91663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91663"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
