Ichika Dining Project Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ichikawa City, Chiba; President: Taro Takenaga), a consolidated subsidiary of Ichika Holdings Co., Ltd., is proud to announce the renewal opening of 'Yataya Hakata Gekijo Narita' on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 4:00 PM. This is the very first store of the chain that brings the atmosphere and specialties of Fukuoka's Nakasu street stall village to guests.
This renewal transforms the space into a more comfortable and immersive environment by refreshing the design of the entrance and terrace to evoke the Nakasu food stall district, adding more restrooms, and increasing the seating capacity. Yataya Hakata Gekijo Narita will continue to be a community-rooted store, serving both long-time regulars and new customers.
### Renewal Background and Details
Since its opening in February 2010, the Narita store has operated as the first 'Yataya Hakata Gekijo' for approximately 16 years. Supported by many local regulars over the years, the store is undergoing these renovations to ensure a comfortable environment for the future.
**1. Renewal of Entrance and Terrace**
The design near the entrance and the terrace has been refreshed to create a sense of excitement, as if stepping into the Nakasu street stall district.
**2. Improved Convenience Inside the Store**
In response to restroom wait times during busy hours, more restrooms have been added. While some raised floor seating was reduced, a compact kitchen redesign allowed for a new 8-person bench seat, increasing total seating by two. The bench seats are accessible for all ages, making it comfortable for groups.
**3. Renovation of Interior and Kitchen**
To enhance comfort and cleanliness, the floor has been replaced, and the walls have been repainted after 16 years of use. The kitchen equipment has been updated and the layout revised to create an open kitchen where guests can feel the energy of a street stall. At the counter, guests can enjoy watching the cooking process up close.
### Characteristics of Yataya Hakata Gekijo
- **A Gathering of Hakata Nakasu Food Stall Dishes**
Hakata Nakasu food stall culture involves 'bar hopping' for different specialties. This store offers the best of that culture in one place. From signature Tetsunabe Gyoza to Kushiyaki, Motsu Nabe, and Oden, guests can enjoy a wide range of Hakata classics.
- **Signature Menu: Tetsunabe Gyoza** (495 yen for 6 pieces, min. order of 2 servings): Hand-wrapped daily to lock in meat and vegetable flavors and served on a hot iron pot.
- **A Theater-Style Tavern Overflowing with Energy**
The interior fully recreates a Nakasu food stall village with festival music as BGM and energetic staff creating a lively atmosphere.
- **Exclusive App Member Benefits**
