Hakata Mizutaki

Hakata mizutaki is a chicken hot pot associated with Fukuoka. Chicken on the bone is simmered to make the broth, which may be clear or cloudy. Chicken, seasonal vegetables and sometimes tofu cook together in the pot. The pieces are eaten with ponzu, a citrus-based sauce, with condiments such as grated ginger or chopped green onions.^[1]

A customary meal begins with tasting the chicken broth before eating the meat and vegetables. Rice may be added to the remaining broth to make a porridge; noodles or rice cakes are other ways to finish the pot. Mizutaki is prepared at home and in specialist restaurants. In Fukuoka it is eaten throughout the year, rather than only in winter.^[1][2]
