Vol. 23 Fukuoka

Fukuoka Prefecture is located in the southern part of Japan. It is blessed by the Genkai Sea so seafood sold in the prefecture is all fresh and cheap. Local cuisines such as tonkotsu ramen, and mizutaki (chicken hotpot) are highly recommended for foodies. If you are a fan of rugby, you probably won’t want to miss the Rugby World Cup 2019 held in Japan. Fukuoka Prefecture is one of the host cities and the Australian and New Zealander teams will be playing matches in Oita Prefecture next to us! Come and see matches in Kyushu Island, at the same time check out the delicious food in Fukuoka!

It features thin noodles in a thick, creamy white pork bone soup topped with slices of chashu (barbecued pork). Some of the best places to enjoy a bowl of ramen would be the yatai food stalls along the streets.
