Kyushu’s biggest annual fashion event takes

place in Fukuoka City this March, showcasing

the local fashion industry with great lineup

of events, fashion shows, and sales. The con-

cept is to attract stylish visitors from both

Kyushu and abroad to create buzz around

budding Fukuoka’s fashion scene. This year’s

motto is “Play! FUKU-OKA!”. A large se-

lection of shops in Hakata, Tenjin, Daimyo,

Yakuin and Imaizumi hold special sales and

events, turning Fukuoka City into a massive

playground for fashion. The 2014 festival

mascot is “Licca-chan” (similar to USA’s

Barbie doll) known as fashion’s biggest fan

in Japan! The main event, FACo is the grand

finale on Mar. 23.

Cat cafes are so 2013! This year the trend

is definitely owl cafes, and Fukuoka’s first

opened inside the Kawabata Arcade this Jan-

uary. After an explanation of rules and proto-

col, assistants place owls of various breeds

and sizes on customers’ arms, shoulders and

heads. The birds seem to enjoy being stroked

and don’t mind cameras without flashes.

dia neighbors Vietnam and Thailand, its cui-

sine is somewhat similar to theirs, but it suits

the tastes of Japanese people because it's not

as spicy as Thai and doesn't use as many herbs

as Vietnamese," explains Funabashi. He says

he learned how to cook the dishes on his vo-

luminous menu from his Cambodian friends'

mothers and the restaurants he visited there.

globe is now widely available in Ja-

pan, purveyors of Cambodian cui-

イメージが浮かぶ人は少ないのではないだろうか。全国でも希少なカンボジア料理店として、2011 年に城南区役所にほど近い住宅街の中にオープンした『さばいな』。店内にはオーナーシェフの舟橋隆史さんが買い付けた雑貨や洋服も並べられ、雑多で馴染みやすい雰囲気が広がっている。「カンボジアはベトナムやタイと陸続きなので料理自体は少し似ていますが、タイ料理ほど辛くなく、ベトナム料理ほど香草を使っていな

いので、日本人の口にも合いやすいと思いますよ」と舟橋さん。料理のレシピの多くは、カンボジアの友人のお母さんや訪れたレストランのシェフから教わったものだ。特産の生胡椒や各種スパイスが使われた料理からは、まさに東南アジアらしい鼻腔をくすぐる

AUTHENTIC CAMBODIAN FARE - A NEW ETHNIC TASTE TO TRY

香りが立ち上るが、口にすると優しくどこか懐かしい味わいで、爽やかな苦味のアンコールビールにも合う。「料理も好きだけど、話すのはもっと好き（笑）」な舟橋さんとの会話も、チャンスがあれば楽しんでほしい。現地の様子や旅の話を聞きながら、さばいな（カンボジアの公用語クメール語で「とっても楽しい」）、プチトリップへ出かけよう。

The food at Sabaina (which means "really fun"

in Khmer) is made using Cambodia's famed

raw black pepper and other spices. While the

aroma is spicy, the flavor is mellow and de-

licious. Have a refreshingly hoppy Angkor

Beer with your meal and you'll swear you're

in Cambodia. "I like to cook, but I love talking

even more," admits Funabashi, so if you go,

don't forget to compliment your chef and ask

him about his travels.

YANAGIBASHI MARKETY

anagibashi Market, or ‘Hakata’s kitchen’ as it is sometimes known, has been supplying Fukuoka's restaurants and

residents alike with the freshest fish, vegetables, meat and other local produce for nearly 100 years. We visited the

charming arcade on a Saturday morning where we sampled delicious seasonal treats like strawberry mochi and

grilled oysters, and discovered intriguing new ingredients such as blood clams and mirugai, which are spitting shell-

fish - don’t get too close! At one stall, we saw how traditional methods are used to make the katsuboshi (dried fish flakes) in

dashi, which gives soba and udon broths their flavour. The stall owners were friendly and welcoming and we left with a mix of

delicacies for an al fresco lunchtime feast. Visit and discover Yanagibashi’s charm for yourself!

Arrive as early as possible for best from the catch of the day.

The selection goes beyond the basics found at most supermarkets.

Taking photos is fine, but be quick and polite. Remember this is a market for busy people and not a tourist destination. Resist picking up and touching everything too! The floors might be wet, so wear proper shoes. Have fun!

Tips & Protocoli

A dazzling selection of fish-cake foods for hot pots and more.

Dried fish flake specialty shop. A key ingredient of Japanese cuisine.

So many kinds of tea. Tasting is believing!

Above Yoshida’s fish shop is a tiny diner serving super-fresh seafood bowls.

Somewhat surprisingly, Yanagibashi now has a local indie coffee shop. www.manucoffee.com

The Deluxe Seafood Bowl ¥1,400 (reg. size) includes miso soup and pickles.

F ollowing a Mongol invasion in 1274,

the shogunate ordered 20km of

stone wall to be built along different

parts of Hakata Bay to defend against a sec-

ond attack. The longest section of this fortifi-

cation was approximately 3km, in Imazu in the

city’s west. A 200m section was excavated

and is now a National Historic Site. In addition

to the ruins, this short hike takes you through

the surrounding pine grove - an iconic feature

around Japan’s coastline - the beautiful Naga-

hama swimming beach, and the magnificent

panorama from the top of Bishamon-yama.

Take a few hours to enjoy some of Fukuoka’s

hidden natural and cultural treasures!

FUKUOKA-NOW.COM/GENKOBORUI

The HikeThe first half of the hike is a gentle stroll

through the residential area of Imazu and

the pine grove that runs along the Nagaha-

ma coastline and is home to the fortification

ruins. This is followed by a climb to the top of

nearby Bishamon-yama, which commands a

beautiful panorama of the bay, including the

area covered earlier in the hike. The return

passes through the very old Shofuku Temple

and surrounding streets before getting back

on the bus. Details online: fukuoka-now.com/

When it comes to haute cuisine, New Yorker Kyle Ricks

knows his onions. He has worked in top end NYC eat-

eries, alongside famous fusion chefs such as David

Bouley, and privately for A-list celebrities such as Jay-

Z, Beyonce and Jerry Seinfeld, catering to their sometimes ‘finicky’

requirements. Kyushu’s energy, people, and palm trees first attracted

him to Fukuoka, which he finds relaxing compared to the Big Apple.

At Serre, his ‘New York Style French’ restaurant in the Nakasu dis-

trict, diners can enjoy his innovative cooking, such as slow roasted

fish with balsamic pumpkin puree and apple, in a natural setting

overlooking the river. Serre is French for greenhouse - whilst Kyle

enjoys sourcing fresh ingredients at Yanagibashi market or from his

friend’s farm in Saga, he has set up his own nursery on site to grow

herbs he cannot find. His customers seem to ‘really dig it’ and he

sees Fukuoka as an exciting city on the cusp of ‘something great’; in

other words, a fertile ground for planting the seeds of new culinary

ventures. Serre HP: http://www.serre.jp

Karatsu GetawayK

aratsu is perhaps best known for Karatsu Kunchi, its spectacular an-

nual festival, its historic castle, or the famous, freshly-served (live!)

squid dishes. While these are all excellent reasons to visit Karatsu,

there’s so much more. Fukuoka Now’s editor Nick was joined by Kamil,

our hiking expert, to explore beyond the basics. Here are some of the historic,

cultural and natural sites they found, as well as the recently opened and highly

recommended Kyushu Olle Karatsu walking course. Access our website for de-

tails, photos, maps and more to plan your Karatsu getaway!

DELIGHTFUL DAY TRIP OR WEEKEND DESTINATION

A must see - The Former Takatori Residence.

The Kyushu Olle Karatsu course is filled with surprises.

Nick puts final touches on at the ceramic workshop.

The Karatsu Burger - a local favorite for over 50 years.

Nijinomatsubara is one of the three largest pine-covered areas (mat-

subara) in Japan, stretching along a 5km arc of the Karatsu coastline

in the shape of a rainbow (niji). With a road running along its length

amidst some 1 million black pine trees, Nijinomatsubara acts as a

scenic gateway to Karatsu.

Situated at the foot of Kagamiyama, just seven minutes walk from

Nijinomatsubara Station, this traditional Karatsu-yaki (ware) work-

shop is known for crafting beautiful ceramics used in tea ceremony.

In addition to the gallery, it also offers a rare opportunity to tour the

workshop and experience making or decorating (etsuke) Karatsu-yaki.

Just 800m from Karatsu Castle, the Former Takatori Residence of-

fers a glimpse into a different period of Japanese history. This seaside

Meiji Era estate of Saga coal mine magnate Koreyoshi Takatori (1850-

1927) features magnificent gardens and more than 30 lavish rooms.

It escaped demolition when the family could no longer maintain

it, and was kindly donated to the city in 1997. In 1998 it was designat-

ed an Important Cultural Asset of Japan, and has since been care-

fully restored to original condition and opened to the public in 2007.

The main residence was built over 100 years ago in a style that

was very modern for the time. Takatori enjoyed the finer aspects of

Japanese culture, with a spectacular Noh theatre and tea house on

premises. His fine taste shows in the mix of western and Japanese

style that is a special feature of the house, including imported Euro-

pean lamps, Italian marble, western fireplace and furniture. Audio

guidance in several languages provided. English speaking guides

available sometimes. http://www.karatsu-kankou.jp/takatori.html

The showroom is filled with soy related souvenir ideas.

Hitoshi Maeyama personally prepares each dish.

The tea house is an example of wabi-sabi, an aesthetic sense in Japanese art emphasising quiet simplicity, imperfection and impermanence.

Dohei Fujinoki’s son, Yotaro serves tea using his own Karatsu-yaki.

Karatsu-yaki is known for sturdiness and simple style, originally created as everyday tableware.

Small bits of rice add a pleasing

texture to the Amazake ice cream: ¥250

A feast for all the senses.

Mention the name Yobuko, the port town just 15 kilometers from cen-

tral Karatsu, and most will think of the town’s famous squid sashimi.

But there’s more and we found somewhere truly special. At Saisson

D’or Hitoshi Maeyama serves fine Japanese/French cuisine using only

seasonal local ingredients, with a focus on seafood and vegetables.

Patrons in the know come from as far away as Tokyo to enjoy his art-

istry and flavors in a spectacular setting offering sunset views over

the bay. www.saissondor.com

Bright and airy, the cozy dining room overlooks a bay.

Nestled amongst trees in the mountainside, this father and son work-

shop has been producing top-end and highly appraised Karatsu ware

for over thirty years. The remote location makes it hard to reach, but

it’s worth the effort! Call in advance to arrange for a visit to their tea

house which is surrounded by fifty sakura trees and views of the val-

ley below. Being served matcha by the artists, using cups they made,

makes the tea ceremony all the more personal. As they say, Karatsu-

yaki is not just for display, but to be used and enjoyed. http://doheiga-

ma.hananusubito.net

Yobuko’s famous squid ikitsukuri, or live squid sashimi, is hard to

imagine without quality soy sauce, and local maker Matsukin provides

around 90% of the soy sauce used in the area. Amazake ice cream is

their latest hit product. Amazake (甘酒) is a traditional non-alcoholic

Japanese drink made from kouji (麹), or fermented rice, and said to be

very healthy (think Asia’s yoghurt). www.kamada.co.jp


Kyushu Olle Karatsu Course

Olle trails originated on Korea’s Jeju Island as a unique

way to see and experience the area, utilising old paths

and routes inaccessible to cars. The courses are de-

signed to be more than just a nature hike but a path of

culture. There are several Olle courses in Kyushu, but one of the

newest and closest to Fukuoka City is here in Karatsu.

In just over 11km, the Karatsu course manages to take in a

wonderful balance of natural, cultural and historic experiences

ranging from Japanese gardens, castle ruins and traditional farms

and workshops, stretching from mountains to the unique coast-

line. The variety of scenery is difficult to rival, and every season

offers something new!

The course is clearly marked with signs and ribbons; all you

need is a sturdy pair of runners. Be sure to access our website

for many more photos and details on this fun and healthy way to

see Karatsu like never before!

EXPLORE THE BACKROADS AND LESSER KNOWN SITES OF KARATSU

of Hakata on a Hakata City Walk. From

Mar. 8 to 31, there will be a "stamp ral-

ly" in the Hakata area, concerts at tem-

ples and other fun events. Free copies of

◊ Help Reduce the Stray Cat Population City Hall has received a large number of

complaints about stray cats. More than

80% of the cats that the City euthanizes

are kittens. Please refrain from feeding

stray cats to help reduce the population of

ownerless cats. If you own a cat, please keep

it indoors, spay or neuter it and make sure it

has some form of identification, such as ID

tags or a microchip implant. More and more

neighborhoods are enacting measures to

combat stray cats. For more information,

call the Animal Welfare & Management Cen-

ter (092-891-1231).
