Hambagu (ハンバーグ) is a Japanese word for Hamburg Steak. It is said that the Japanese people during the Meiji Restoration started calling it Hambagu, which is a Japanese pronunciation of the original Hamburg Steak. Also, the Hambagu in Japan has been reborn as a completely different Japanese food from the original.
It is said that the Hambagu Steak was first transformed into a Japanese style in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. As a side note, in Japan, it is a representative side dish that children love, along with karaage and meatballs, and is often depicted in Japanese anime, manga, movies, and other subcultures.
Fukuoka Hambagu is a familiar form of hamburg steak to us. When you order, it comes out slightly cooked and you can cook it yourself on a personal griddle. It is a popular menu item with most Korean travelers. In fact, I thought it was a fancy version of tteokgalbi (Korean grilled marinated short ribs).
The hambagu I recommend in Fukuoka is Kiwamiya Hambagu (極味や 福岡パルコ店)! They have a Hakata branch and a Tenjin branch, which is famous. You can choose to visit either branch based on your travel destination and accommodation.

'Kiwamiya' is known as a famous restaurant in the Fukuoka area of Japan, offering a unique way to cook pre-grilled Wagyu 100% hambagu on a griddle. For the past few years, it has become a popular restaurant among Koreans with long waiting times.
'Kiwamiya' is a must-visit for those traveling to the Fukuoka area of Japan. They say you have to wait for 2 hours to eat at this restaurant. I remember being surprised at how long the line was when I saw it while passing by. It used to be a popular restaurant among locals, but now Koreans are the most frequent visitors.
The price varies depending on the gram weight, and if you order a set menu with a slight price increase, you can enjoy unlimited rice, miso soup, salad, and ice cream. Unlimited refills are also available for single orders. Also, if you have a child aged 4 or older, they will take orders, so it might be good to keep this in mind.
You can choose one sauce from meat, Kiwamiya, ponzu, salt, egg, wasabi, onion, spicy sauce, and lemon sauce. To eat, you can simply tear a piece of hambagu and cook it on your personal small griddle. If your personal small griddle cools down, you can have it replaced.
It is actually very popular and there are many other famous hambagu restaurants, so why not check them out! Other restaurants are pretty good too. Also, personally, I think hambagu is a fancy version of tteokgalbi (Korean grilled marinated short ribs), so if you're expecting a special Japanese taste, you might be disappointed, so keep that in mind!
I will end this post by sharing the location of the Tenjin branch restaurant as a link.
