Hakata Station is a haven for food lovers, with famous spots like Ichiran Ramen and Ippudo.
However, lunchtime can be incredibly crowded~
So this time, I opted for Kashiwaya Genjiro, located on the 9th floor of Hakata Station (JR Hakata City).

I ordered the Kitazaki Chicken Set Meal for ¥1600.

Complimentary side dishes
I find that many Japanese restaurants offer such delightful treats.
Free and delicious~
Absolutely fantastic !

This set meal, includes a chicken soup (Kitazaki Chicken Soup)
This chicken soup is incredibly rich, unlike the mushroom chicken soup commonly found in Taiwan.
I think it’s worth a try…
But drink it while it’s hot, or it might have a strong gamey taste

It also comes with tofu.

Tamagoyaki ( I can’t remember if this was for one or two people.)
Ever since I had a large Tamagoyaki at Tsukiji, I rarely eat it anymore.
However, after having an incredibly delicious Tamagoyaki in Aomori this February.
I’ve regained some faith in Japanese Tamagoyaki~
(Japanese Tamagoyaki is super sweet, great with rice, but too sweet to eat on its own~XD)

The oyakodon (Japanese Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl) arrived.
![](https://i0.wp.com/www.vibedaily.io/image/nicklee/1274_1485901261.jpg?w=640&ssl=1)
The preparation of this oyakodon is similar to that of YAYOI’S, but much tastier.
Unlike the usual oyakodon, which tends to be quite moist.
This one is a bit drier~
The rice isn’t mushy.

The last dish was stir-fried chicken, which was quite tasty.
The chicken had a firm texture, similar to free-range chicken, very nice.

However, the focus was off (It should have been on the front, but it shifted to the back.)

That’s a simple review of Kashiwaya Genjiro located on the upper floors of JR Hakata Station~
Personal Food Rating: ★★★☆ (3.5)
Comments:
I found the initial chicken soup quite special,
the rest was fairly standard.
I wonder how this oyakodon compares to the famous Toriiwarou in Kyoto?
