About this place
One diner who ordered soba with burdock tempura and a poached egg said the whole burdock root made it a satisfying portion. Burdock tempura and a poached egg are also listed as add-ons, so you can choose udon or soba first, then customise your bowl. For a hot noodle dish, burdock-tempura udon and kakiage-tempura udon are options. If you want the toppings to take centre stage, consider udon with a kakiage fritter of red pickled ginger and maitake mushrooms, or maitake-tempura udon.
A diner also commented on the noodles’ soft texture, describing the kakiage rice bowl as “a little heavy, but delicious”. When you feel like having noodles and rice together, you can choose a kakiage rice-bowl set or an Ajiwai tempura rice-bowl set. For a lighter pairing, there are mini rice bowls, including mini grated-yam and mini egg bowls.
WEST Maimatsubara shop’s menu ranges from simple bowls such as kake udon and kama-tama udon to seafood umakara udon and Japanese-style pork curry udon. Add a chicken rice ball or inari sushi, or choose whether to have noodles on their own or with a rice dish. The Maimatsubara branch is in Wakamiya, Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City. Its listed opening hours are daily from 11:00 to 22:00.
