Yatai Food Stalls
Fukuoka is famously one of the few cities in Japan where open-air food stalls, or yatai, are still found. The classic offerings are ramen, yakitori, gyoza, and oden (a kind of stew), though some owners cook up western-style fare. Pull up a stool to huddle with others over beer or sake, enjoy a chat with the owner, and tuck in to a hearty meal and an experience of local nightlife like no other.
