The history of Hanamidori began when the founder, Yoshiyasu Kawazu, who was wholesaling chicken in Hakata, opened two restaurants on the same floor. He realized that the secret to the deliciousness of mizutaki lies in the quality of the chicken itself, which led him to engage in poultry farming, resulting in the birth of "Hanamidori." They invite everyone to try their carefully crafted mizutaki made with the brand chicken "Hanamidori."
To ensure that guests can enjoy the deliciousness of Hanamidori at the best timing, staff dressed in kimonos provide dedicated service. The restaurant can accommodate up to 28 diners, and it also features private rooms with a calm atmosphere and counter seats that overlook the interior, making it recommended not only for banquets but also for those who wish to enjoy a meal for two.
