As 2016 comes to a close, Fukuoka Now looks back at some of the many great places we\u2019ve visited. Here\u2019s just a handful of the standouts. Head to our website for more than 200 restaurants, cafes, noodle shops and bars. Itadakimasu!<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Samurai Udon<\/strong>
\nShop-owner Hiroyuki Soma shows his samurai spirit in every detail of his wonderfully creative udon dishes, from his hand-made noodles, to the fresh seasonal veggies. English menus available!<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Original report, with more photos and information, here.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Bunryu <\/strong>
\nLocation isn\u2019t everything – taste is! Deceptively simple, Bunryu\u2019s tonkotsu ramen<\/em> is made with super-thin, hand-made noodles in a light yet richly-flavored broth. Well-worth the journey.<\/p>\n

4. Umeyama Teppei Shokudo<\/strong>
\nCentered around twenty varieties of market-fresh fish, this friendly shokudo <\/em>(canteen) serves delicious and healthy, locally-sourced meals. Their saba <\/em>(horse mackerel) is a must!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 3-6-1 Watanabe-dori, Chuo-ku<\/a>
\n\u2022 092-715-2344
\n\u2022 Original report, with more photos and information, here.<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Cafe Tonerico <\/strong>
\nHard to find, but oh, so worth it! The rural, south-of-France style interior and garden are very peaceful, but their handmade, cafe-style lunch and cheesecakes are why we return time after time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2022 3-6-37 Akasaka, Chuo-ku<\/a>
\n\u2022 092-771-2347

6. Sanatorium <\/strong>
\nSanatorium\u2019s all-white interior features anatomical models, medical instruments, the owner\u2019s art and a unique gallery\/cafe. Weird? Who knows? You might just feel right at home.<\/p>\n
