Use craftsmanship to create every unparalleled delicacy.
Efforts from scratch
Every journey has its starting point, and the birth of Hakata Concept originated from an unforgettable trip and an inspiration for the taste buds. A few years ago, our founder visited the Hakata region in Fukuoka, Japan, where countless izakayas and traditional restaurants were hidden in narrow alleys. Each dish conveyed the chef's respect for the ingredients and dedication to the culture, which deeply moved them.
At that time, they were sitting at the counter of an old sushi bar, savoring an Omakase meal personally prepared by the chef. In that moment, they experienced not only the taste but also the story behind the food—the craftsmanship, the beauty of the changing seasons, and the tacit understanding between the chef and the customers. This unique experience ignited their dream: to bring this inspiration back and share it with more people.
The Birth of Hakata Concept
After returning to their hometown, the founder decided to turn this dream into reality. They spent several years visiting many Japanese culinary masters, learning the craftsmanship and philosophy of ingredient selection. At the same time, they infused their own creativity into the process, hoping to preserve tradition while injecting modern vitality into the dishes.
From choosing the location and design to planning the menu, they were involved in every detail, step by step. The inspiration for each dish came from the delightful flavors and cultural resonance they experienced during their journey.
Finally, driven by hard work and passion, Hakata Concept opened its doors to customers. Our name, "Hakata," is a tribute to the land that inspired us, while "Concept" symbolizes our innovation and endless possibilities. The restaurant blends the minimalist beauty of Japanese style with modern design, creating a warm and refined dining atmosphere.
