Carrying on one of Hakata’s flavorful traditions <\/strong>
\nMizutaki (chicken hot pot) is a simple local dish, but with the Toriden touch, it becomes a memorable experience. Take a sip of the delectable white broth before you add the Kyushu-bred chicken to the pot. Don\u2019t forget the locally grown green onions. Toriden makes its own seasonings\u2014a mild yuzu gosho<\/em> paste and a mellow ponzu<\/em> sauce\u2014that you can either enjoy with each bite of chicken or mix into the soup. Next, add the tsumire<\/em>, or minced chicken, to the pot. The cabbage, kuzu-kiri<\/em> and carrots round out the soup with a hint of sweetness. Finally, add zosui<\/em> (rice porridge) or ramen noodles to the remaining soup for the finishing touch. Owner Hirokatsu Okutsu worked in French cuisine before entering the world of washoku<\/em>. After studying in France, he launched a number of popular restaurants in Tokyo and Fukuoka. It was here in the culinary mecca of Fukuoka where he decided to open a mizutaki<\/em> restaurant. Toriden\u2019s mission is to introduce travelers and locals to the wonders of mizutaki<\/em> while keeping a Hakata tradition alive.<\/p>\n
