Shinmiura Hakata Honten

A mizutaki house founded in 1910, one of the oldest in Hakata. The white broth, simmered all day from chicken and water, is tasted on its own first, then with the chicken and vegetables, and finally poured over rice. Every seat is in a private or semi-private room, some overlooking the Mikasa River.

Corporate use

Our pick to introduce a group to mizutaki in a traditional setting: one large modular tatami room for up to 60, or several rooms to split teams. Staff guide each step of the meal at the table, which helps with overseas guests. The restaurant is slightly off-centre, so we arrange taxis or a coach.

Private rooms & private hire

All 100 seats are in private or semi-private rooms: the horigotatsu Yanagi room (2 to 13), a modular horigotatsu tatami room overlooking the river (2 to 60), and the Kingin room with tables and chairs (2 to 30), wheelchair-friendly with an accessible toilet. Full buyout possible.

The menu

Two dinner courses built around mizutaki: 'Sakura' (chicken breast salad, hassun, mizutaki, vegetables, broth over rice, dessert) and the fuller 'Matsu' (seasonal fish, fried wings, gizzard confit, tsukune meatballs). A two-hour free-flow drinks option (beer, sake, shochu, whisky). Allergies and preferences should be given when booking.

Frequently asked questions

How many guests fit in one room?

Up to 60 in the large modular tatami room; the restaurant has 100 seats in total and can be booked out.

Is there chair seating?

Yes: the Kingin room (2 to 30) has tables and chairs and is wheelchair-friendly; the other rooms use horigotatsu, so no kneeling is needed.

When should we book?

By the day before at the latest; rooms are limited, so book early. A specific cancellation policy applies from 10 guests.

Is it open on Sundays?

It is usually closed on Sundays (except some long weekends); dinner runs 6pm–10pm with last entry at 8pm.
