Yakitori-Hachibei
Beyond Yakitori
Yakitori – skewers of chicken and veggies grilled to perfection over smokey charcoal, washed down with cold beer after a hard day’s work is a delectable Japanese standard. Now, imagine a gourmet version served in a stylish setting and you’re getting close to yakitori ・la Hachibei. The first restaurant opened 23 years ago in sleepy Maebaru, then six years ago a second opened in Tenjin. Now this third stylish and somewhat upscale venue has opened on Shoninbashi-dori between Daimyo and Yakuin. So well respected, the restaurant won a highly competitive bid to open in an ultra-exclusive development in Ventura, California this month. Everything is good, but here are the standouts: sukiyaki-kushi, enoki mushrooms and spinach wrapped in sliced beef on skewers. Dip them in raw egg and you’re one step closer to heaven. Sasami-umenoshio, chicken breast fillet lightly grilled, splashed with sake then topped with a tangy plum paste is another must. Pictured here is endomame croquette, a lightly breaded deep fried ball of mashed green beans – sublime! Assuming you have room for dessert, choose from five homemade treats… or give into temptation with the dessert assortment plate!

焼とり屋のイメージを一新、大人の会話を楽しむ空間
ここ「焼とりの八兵衛・上人橋通り店」はこれまでの焼とり屋のイメージを打ち破るオシャレな焼とり屋さん。メニューは大吟醸をふりかけて焼く手羽塩をはじめ、和牛すき焼き串やえんどう豆の串揚げなど、他店には真似できない逸品が並ぶ。もちろんアルコール類も充実し、ワインリストがある上に、デザートにいたってはすべて手作りという手の懲りようで、お客さんの8割が女性というのも納得。そもそも実家が精肉店であるオーナーが23年前に前原でオープンしたのをきっかけに、天神店、上人橋通り店と次々にオープン。中でも大名と薬院の間にある上人橋通り店は、インテリアにもこだわった上質な雰囲気に包まれている。ゆっくりと会話を楽しめる空間なので、デートスポットとしても最適。八兵衛 の評判は口コミで広がり、ついに8月にはカリフォルニアの高級ショッピングモール「ザ・レイクス」に出店することが決まった。福岡の焼とりがアメリカのセレブに認められる日も近い!?
