河津 善陽Yoshiharu Kawatsu

Hanamidori Chicken, developed with the utmost care and attention to detail.
The history of Hanamitori began in 1949 when Mr. Yoshiharu Kawatsu, who was in charge of wholesale at a chicken wholesaler called Torizen in the Yoshizuka shopping street in eastern Hakata, opened a restaurant on the second floor of his store. While selling chicken, he encountered Mizutaki through relationships with a number of restaurants. Realizing that the secret to the delicious taste of Mizutaki was in the chicken itself, Hanamidori chicken was born with a unique breeding and feeding method. The nutritious soup is made with fresh chicken and mineral water using a particular recipe.
