Argentine Home Cooking in Yakuin
Porteno is a hidden gem in Yakuin, featuring an interior adorned with the owner’s striking illustrations on the walls. Its appeal lies in the gentle flavors tailored to Japanese palates, such as bite-sized empanadas, stewed beans, and chicken cutlets. The exotic ambiance, filled with tango music, makes it welcoming for solo diners and pairs well with drinks. It’s the perfect spot for an evening when you want to casually enjoy Argentine cuisine.

a month agoFood was ok but not great as my "choripan" sausage was a bit cold. Food service was slow that we received ours 15 mins after ordering but the drinks were really fast.

a month agoThis is a lovely, heartwarming restaurant in Fukuoka. The interior is beautifully decorated with Argentinean décor, and spending time listening to tango was a moving experience, making me feel close to my home country while in Japan. The empanadas are absolutely delicious and I especially recommend them. The choripan and caipirinhas are also excellent, and the homemade dulce de leche was truly exquisite. You can tell that everything is made with care. What impressed me most was Ritsuko's warm hospitality. She understands Spanish, so I was able to converse with her with ease and had a wonderful time. Her kindness on Christmas day will stay in my heart. I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.

7 months agoSince I discovered this restaurant, I've been completely captivated by Argentine cuisine. They have a wide variety of dishes that are suitable for Japanese palates, such as small meat pies called empanadas, bean stews, and cutlets. I especially love the empanadas and bean dishes! The interior is lovely, with eye-catching illustrations by the owner displayed on the walls, giving it a very exotic feel. They also offer a set menu for one person and a relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to drop in after work.
