The Hakata motsunabe pot
Motsunabe Rakutenchi is a Hakata motsunabe specialist on Le Thanh Ton — an intimate Japanese dining room that opens only in the evening, where miso and soy broths simmer, offal is prepared with care, and champon noodles close the meal.
A pot built on three things
A proper Hakata motsunabe stands on three things: the broth, the offal, and the closing noodles.
Miso & soy broths
Hakata's two classic broths — rich miso or clear soy, both simmered to carry the offal.
Offal, carefully prepared
Offal is the soul of motsunabe — cleaned with care, rich but never heavy, dipped just to the point.
The champon finish
When the broth has taken on every flavor, champon noodles go in — the complete close to a motsunabe pot.
