Hakata Motsunabe Ooyama Honten

The original branch of the Ooyama chain, a Fukuoka benchmark for motsunabe. Guests enter through a small lantern-lit lane; 180 seats over three floors, all at horigotatsu tables. The motsunabe, made only with wagyu small intestine, comes in miso, soy or mizutaki-style broth and ends with champon noodles.

Corporate use

Motsunabe for groups: a banquet for up to 72, or several closed rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors to split teams. A lively mood on a controlled budget, well suited to a team evening after a seminar day. Two minutes from Gofukumachi subway and close to Nakasu for the rest of the night.

Private rooms & private hire

180 seats in total: an open horigotatsu room on the ground floor and private horigotatsu rooms of various sizes on the 2nd and 3rd floors, for small teams through to large groups. Banquets for up to 72 seated.

The menu

Seven-dish set menus built around motsunabe (miso, soy or mizutaki-style) with Kumamoto horse sashimi, vinegared sumotsu tripe or beef-tendon stew, with or without 90-minute free-flow drinks. A wide choice of Kyushu shochu. The restaurant publishes allergen information; the menu is hard for vegetarians.
