Enjoy the "Kurume Yakitori Japan's Best Festa 2025" to compare the different types of yakitori!
A gourmet event representing the autumn in Kurume, the "Kurume Yakitori Japan No.1 Festa 2025will be held on September 27 (Sat.) and 28 (Sun.) at Higashimachi Park in the center of Kurume City.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.
This event, which attracts a large crowd every year, features not only popular restaurants in the city, but also "guest restaurants" from Hakata and other cities, allowing visitors to compare yakitori from different restaurants.
The aroma of yakitori grilled over charcoal fires whets the appetite, and is a unique Kurume "food" event that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The event attracts many "yakitori fans" from both inside and outside of the prefecture every year.
Take advantage of this opportunity! We have compiled a list of points to help you fully enjoy the Festa. Experience the best "food" Kurume has to offer.
This year, as "food we want to pass on to the next generation,'The100 year old hoods from around the country'-' (used in place of '-')(Agency for Cultural Affairs), a children's experience corner will be set up as a "100-year food certification commemoration" event (due to its popularity, advance registration is already closed).
Point 1
In addition to the 8 famous yakitori restaurants that Kurume is proud of, this year, 2 guest restaurants, "Yakitori Kanji" from Hakata and "Hyottoko" from Chikugo City, will make guest appearances. This is truly a heaven where visitors can enjoy yakitori from a total of 10 restaurants!
The "depth of yakitori" is that each restaurant has its own way of grilling and sauce.
The event will end as soon as it is sold out, so early arrival is recommended.
Point2
You can also enjoy a selection of Chikugo's famous local sake and shochu, as well as draft beer, which goes great with yakitori!
It is a great opportunity to enjoy a combination of yakitori from a restaurant you have always wanted to visit but never had a chance to go, and sake you have never tried before! This is a great opportunity to enjoy the encounter with "delicious sake"!
Point 3
Kurume Ramen Association also opened a store!
This is a "luxurious" event where Kurume Ramen, Kurume's soul food, can be enjoyed, and is a must for B-class gourmet lovers.
Kurume's soul food "Yakitori" and "Kurume Ramen" can be enjoyed at the same time at this popular annual autumn event. The executive committee hopes that many people will enjoy the event.
[Please note...
The secretariat encourages visitors to use public transportation on the day of the event, as the surrounding area will be very crowded.
