Hakata Hanazen Umeda Shop at Umeda, Osaka

A Fukuoka-born chicken hot pot (mizutaki) specialist in the basement of Hilton Plaza East, Umeda.

Hakata Hanazen Umeda Shop is the Osaka outpost of the Hakata Hanamidori group, a celebrated Fukuoka-born chain that specialises in mizutaki, the gentle chicken hot pot central to Hakata dining culture. Located on the second basement floor of Hilton Plaza East in Umeda, the restaurant is overseen by the same group behind the long-established Hanamidori brand, which opened its first Osaka branch here and has since expanded across the city. The kitchen is known for its carefully prepared chicken broth, tender chicken and the accompanying ponzu, served in the traditional multi-course hot pot style that finishes with zosui rice porridge soaked in the savoury stock. Alongside the signature mizutaki course, the menu offers related chicken dishes such as karaage and oyakodon, with lunch set meals that let you sample the group's famous fried chicken and rice bowl in a single sitting. The calm, traditionally styled interior suits both intimate dinners and group gatherings, and the brand's emphasis on consistent, heartfelt flavour makes it a reliable choice for visitors curious about Kyushu cuisine without leaving Osaka. When the craving for a warming, restorative pot takes hold, let Hakata Hanazen show you how Fukuoka does comfort - Go Umeda is always glad to introduce a bowl with a story behind it.
