【Fukuoka】Hakata Station Delicacies – Kashiwaya Genjiro

Posted on by nicklee

Hakata Station is a haven for food lovers, with famous spots like Ichiran Ramen and Ippudo.
However, lunchtime can be incredibly crowded~
So this time, I opted for Kashiwaya Genjiro, located on the 9th floor of Hakata Station (JR Hakata City).

I ordered the Kitazaki Chicken Set Meal for ¥1600.

Complimentary side dishes
I find that many Japanese restaurants offer such delightful treats.
Free and delicious~
Absolutely fantastic !

This set meal, includes a chicken soup (Kitazaki Chicken Soup)
This chicken soup is incredibly rich, unlike the mushroom chicken soup commonly found in Taiwan.
I think it’s worth a try…
But drink it while it’s hot, or it might have a strong gamey taste

It also comes with tofu.

Tamagoyaki ( I can’t remember if this was for one or two people.)
Ever since I had a large Tamagoyaki at Tsukiji, I rarely eat it anymore.
However, after having an incredibly delicious Tamagoyaki in Aomori this February.
I’ve regained some faith in Japanese Tamagoyaki~
(Japanese Tamagoyaki is super sweet, great with rice, but too sweet to eat on its own~XD)

The oyakodon (Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl) arrived.

The preparation of this oyakodon is similar to that of YAYOI’S, but much tastier.
Unlike the usual oyakodon, which tends to be quite moist.
This one is a bit drier~
The rice isn’t mushy.

The last dish was stir-fried chicken, which was quite tasty.
The chicken had a firm texture, similar to free-range chicken, very nice.

However, the focus was off (It should have been on the front, but it shifted to the back.)

That’s a simple review of Kashiwaya Genjiro located on the upper floors of JR Hakata Station~

Personal Food Rating: ★★★☆ (3.5)
Comments:
I found the initial chicken soup quite special,
the rest was fairly standard.
I wonder how this oyakodon compares to the famous Toriiwarou in Kyoto?

Rating Criteria:
Five stars: Super delicious; makes you want to go back for more
Four stars: Tasty; feels good after eating, but not memorable
Three stars: Not bad; worth a try if you’re nearby
Two stars: Average; safe choice if you don’t want to risk a bad meal
One star: Not my taste; potential landmine

Miaoli delicacy “Houlong Haolai Xiang Beef Noodles, highly recommended by locals, the beef noodles that made the owner exclaim ‘Please don’t recommend it anymore!'”

The beef noodles that my dad always craves. Whenever I ask him what he wants to eat, he always mentions those Houlong beef noodles. 😂
After much talk, I’ve finally made it here, even though my dad has already visited three times this month 🤫🤫.
The braised dishes are stewed in a large pot, ensuring a rich flavor. You can pick whatever you want, and the boss will directly plate it up for you!
The beef noodles have a good amount of beef tendon, giving it a nice chewy texture. The soup base is rich but not greasy, and the noodles are firm, not mushy. Adding some chili oil makes it even more delicious. The best part? A small bowl is only $90, and a large one is $120! (The photo shows the small bowl. P.S. The small bowl is filling enough, especially if you want to save room for braised snacks. 😂)
Just a little secret, when we arrived there before 11 o’clock, it was already fully seated 🤫.
I heard they sell out every day by the afternoon!
Only the locals truly know the taste of their own land.
