Tori Den Hakata Main Store

Located in the heart of Hakata, Fukuoka, Tori Den Hakata Main Store is a renowned restaurant where guests can savor Mizutaki, a traditional hot pot dish with deep roots in Hakata’s Gion Yamakasa festival culture.

As the hot pot arrives at your table, the staff skillfully prepares it before your eyes. The experience begins with a taste of the pure, flavorful broth, which is made by slow-simmering Kyushu-raised whole chickens for six hours using only water. The result is a deeply rich and umami-packed soup that fills your mouth with warmth and depth.

Next, the signature Tori Den style unfolds, featuring succulent bone-in chicken, tender thigh and breast meat, paired with Hakata negi-shabu (thinly sliced green onions). The hot pot is further enhanced with juicy chicken meatballs mixed with gizzard and fresh vegetables, all absorbing the flavorful broth. For an added kick, diners can enjoy the dish with Tori Den’s special dashi-based Kyushu ponzu sauce and their house-made aged yellow yuzu kosho, elevating the experience with a delightful citrusy heat.
For the final touch, guests can choose from three different closing dishes—zousui (Japanese rice porridge), ramen, or risotto—all carefully prepared tableside by the staff to ensure the perfect finishing bite.

In addition to Mizutaki, the menu offers a variety of Hakata’s signature dishes, including Goma Saba (sesame-marinated mackerel) and homemade spicy mentaiko. The restaurant also boasts an impressive selection of sake, featuring both original house blends and locally brewed specialties, making for a truly authentic and flavorful Hakata dining experience.
