Results for Fukuoka Foodie
A hotel room with an epilepsy warning? An omakase course of tea-based cocktails? I can't say for sure these are hidden gems, but after months of seeing everyone and their moms go to Japan since COVID reopening, I can say these were some of my favorite spots that I seldom saw people visit.
Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based tech journalist-turned-corporate comms editor. Early in my career I spent a stint as a luxury travel planner and writer specializing in Asia, and if I can toot my own horn, I'm often the friend everyone says "wth Natt, how do you find all these cool spots, drop that itin." (Fine, they don't say it like that, but you get the point).
Travel planning is a great hobby for me, and I am writing this as both a journal to remember my trip by and to share with friends, hence the overly familiar tone you might find below. If you discovered this on the Thatch platform, consider giving my guide a shot and hopefully you'll find it useful for an adventuresome visit to Japan!

🍰🍩 desserts
🍜🥢 ramen
🌮🍔 international cuisine
🍛🍱 Japanese food
☕️🥪 cafes and bakeries
💖💰 higher end restaurants for a special meal
📌 This guide also includes a zero-waste Guesthouse that has an earth-friendly plant-based café and bar, that sells by weight, without trash.

Helpful Terms for Vegan and Vegetarian travellers:
The more commonly used terms:
vegetarian: ベジタリアン (beh-ji-tarian)
vegan: ヴィーガン (vui-gan) OR ビーガン (bee-gan)
The more traditional terms:
Buddhist vegan: 完全菜食主義者 (kanzen saishoku shugisha)
vegetarian 菜食主義者 (saishoku shugisha)
☆︶︶︶︶☆ ︶︶︶︶☆
NOTE: Even if you’re vegan, it’s good to start with this phrase, “beh-ji-tarian des” (I’m vegetarian) since it is already rare to be a vegetarian in Japan.
Saying you’re vegan will go over many people's heads, so if they say that they "can’t serve a vegetarian", they definitely can not serve a vegan.
Some helpful phrases you can keep handy on your phone:
I don’t eat meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products
肉とシーフードと卵と乳製品を食べません
(o-niku, shifudo, tamago, to nyūseihin wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat pork
豚肉を食べません
(buta niku wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat chicken
鶏肉を食べません
(tori niku wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat fish stock
魚のだしを食べません (sakana no dashi wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat eggs
卵を食べません
(tamago wo tabemasen)
I don’t eat cheese
チーズを食べません
(chizu wo tabemasen)

GLUTEN FREE TIPS:
