So to help you enjoy it too, we\u2019ve updated three of our most popular guides: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/fukuoka-firefly-watching-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fukuoka Firefly Watching Guide<\/a> (yes, that\u2019s a thing here!), our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/hydrangea-ajisai-viewing-mini-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hydrangea Viewing Guide<\/a>, and our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/fukuoka-beach-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fukuoka Beach Guide<\/a>. Have you tried Hakata Wagyu? It\u2019s a local brand of beef that is building a name for itself nationwide and you can try it at Meijiya Komondo near Hotel Okura. Goenya Tenjin\u2019s specialty is <em>tsukemen<\/em> (dipping noodles), and it\u2019s our recommended noodle shop this month. Then, located on the tree-lined Keyaki Avenue is &#038;Locals, a shop that showcases a selection of products from rural Kyushu. They also serve tea and four kinds of <em>inari sushi<\/em>. A mojito tastes great anytime of year, but never as good as on a hot summer night, and The Bar Mojito Kotenmon in Otemon is a quiet and chilled pace to enjoy an excellent one. As usual, there are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/event\/archive\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tons of events<\/a> taking place in town, including <a
