Motsunabe - Fukuoka’s Famous Dish, Loved throughout Japan

 

There are a wide variety of Japanese hot pot dishes, and Motsunabe is well known as Fukuoka’s specialty. If you go to an izakaya restaurant in Fukuoka, you can eat Motsunabe at a reasonable price, and if you go to a specialty restaurant, you can enjoy a more authentic one. It’s called Fukuoka’s soul food as many restaurants serve it in Fukuoka.

 

There are 3 main features of the food:

 

1. Use beef giblets
2. Use a lot of cabbage and chive (also add other ingredients such as tofu and burdock)
3. Simmer 1 and 2 in a pot with soup

 

By using high-quality beef giblets, the flavor increases and vegetables will be even tastier.

There are 3 kinds of soups for Motsunabe

 

1. Shoyu (soy sauce)

It’s a standard. I recommend it when you are not sure which one to choose. Vegetables and beef giblets match with soy sauce and very delicious.

1. Miso

It gives a rich flavor and increases your appetite. Miso is the best for those of you who like to drink alcohol.

1. Shio (salt)

A simple taste brings out the taste of vegetables and beef giblets. It’s recommended for those of you who already have tried the other flavor.

 

*Some restaurants offer their original soup such as spicy soup other than the above.
