what all the fuss is about, and were delighted to find an authentic replica of the <em>yatai<\/em> experience. Two years in the making, the shop was designed with a nostalgic <em>Showa<\/em>-era theme, and a strong nod to Fukuoka and Hakata culture. The main counter mimics a <em>yatai<\/em> &#8211; complete with lit sign, fabric drapes, wooden frame cart and wheels; the walls are papered with huge skyline images of a neon Nakasu River. It\u2019s almost like the real thing, but with some added perks! There\u2019s guaranteed cleanliness, more spacious seating options, AC, a bathroom, a souvenir shop &#8211; features that are certain to please tourists. A soundtrack of old timey enka and nostalgic songs like Kyuu Sakamoto\u2019s \u201cSukiyaki\u201d add to the atmosphere, and there\u2019s a hidden chalkboard for children to discover in the wooden back wall.<\/p>\n<p>The 65m2 space can seat about 30 customers and serves a wide variety of \u201cIchiran <em>Butanomaki<\/em>\u201d, and local Hakata small dishes and drinks. Their trademark <em>ramen<\/em> however is NOT available, but relax, you can indulge in this guilty pleasure on second floor. We sampled some different <em>Butanomaki<\/em> &#8211; the delicious \u201c<em>3 shoku piman<\/em>\u201d three colored peppers wrapped in pork, \u201c<em>Niku-Niku<\/em>\u201d <em>tsukune<\/em> wrapped in pork, and <em>enoki<\/em> mushrooms wrapped in pork, as well as light and wonderful handmade tofu, and \u201c<em>Aburiyaki mentaiko<\/em>\u201d &#8211; spicy <em>mentaiko<\/em> cooked to perfection. Drinks-wise, there\u2019s beer, Fukuoka Prefecture <em>sake<\/em>, and red and white wine &#8211; a drink not usually available at street stalls. After your food, browse the souvenir shop with t-shirts, original condiments, mugs, plus some buttons and toys for the kids. A great and easy way to experience Fukuoka\u2019s <em>yatai<\/em> culture!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ichiran Yatai<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Open Nov. 7, 2013!<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 5-3-2 Nakasu, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka<br \/>\n\u2022 Open 24 hours, every day<br \/>\n\u2022 092-282-1111<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ichiran.co.jp\/english\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.ichiran.co.jp\/english\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ichiran, the tonkotsu ramen chain known for its individual booths, will open its first open \u201cyatai-style\u201d restaurant on the first floor of its headquarters in Nakasu, Fukuoka City.
