I never realized this until now, but just to the east of the Kaihinmakuhari station is a building that is loaded with restaurants that are open late. Most of them are small chains like this izakaya on the fifth floor, but it's what we needed at the end of a long day on our feet (1 Chome−14, 080-9800-6947).
A warm comforting stew in particular sounded great, especially in the cold and damp weather tonight, so we got that jidori nabe in the background, which the menu said was a local speciality. I'm not sure if it was basically Hakata mizutaki (especially since it featured chicken from Kagoshima), but the milky broth was more straighforwardly salty rather than the bright and rounded taste that I was hoping for. Their yaki onigiri was disappointingly soft too.
Well, the chicken in that hotpot was tender at least. And everything here still did the job, including that daikon salad above, not to mention the chicken nanban and some meaty oysters that we had. It's only now though that I realized that we should've ordered their "gout nabe," which is named for all the oysters and roe used.
