Louisiana-style seafood restaurants

have been taking the world by storm,

and now there is one in Yakuin. But be

prepared to dig in with your hands because

there are no plates and no forks! Food is

brought out in plastic bags and spread out

on the paper tablecloth in front of you.

The most popular menu item are the sea-

food combos, which feature boiled crab

and prawns served

in the shell, squid,

other seafood and

a range of veggies—

all flavored with

spicy Cajun sauce.

The ingredients are

placed in the bags

and shaken to make

sure the sauce gets

full coverage. It's

up to you to crack

open the crab legs

and lobster shells with your bare hands.

The sauce will fly and your hands will be

dripping, but the experience will be unfor-

gettable! The spicy garlic-tinged sauce will

make the drinks flow, which makes Golden

Crab a great place for a fun-filled party.

The combos come with bread so you can

attempt making your own seafood sand-

wiches, and you'll be sure to sop up every

last drop of sauce with the meal-ending

rice. So, leave your silverware at home and

bring some friends to Golden Crab.

Everyone’s eaten ramen, the ubiquitous thin noodle

that has sustained the global student population

for the last 20 years. But what about udon, ramen’s

fatter cousin? In Japan, udon is at least as popular

as ramen and perhaps even more diverse in taste, but it is

yet to make the leap to the international stage that ramen

has. This has not, however, stopped the international coming

to udon. This month’s edition of In Fukuoka catches up with

Rob Kolinofsky, originally from New Jersey, USA but now

based in Fukuoka’s “Kanbei Udon” making udon noodles.

Widely considered the most important step of any good

udon dish, Rob has spent seven and a half years perfecting

his art, and is a rarity in Japan as one of the few foreigners

who have mastered a skill considered to be difficult even

for the Japanese. As well as making noodles, Rob also

helped to create Kanbe Udon’s now infamous black udon

in celebration of Barack Obama’s 2008 election and the

Kuroda Bikiri - black surprise - udon in reference to Kuroda

Kanbei, the “founding father” of Fukuoka.

2014 was a tight season for the Hawks

as they narrowly managed to se-

cure the top standing in the Pacific

League after a year long fight with

the Orix Buffaloes. After dispatching the

Nippon Ham Fighters in the Climax Series,

the Hawks needed just five games against

the Hanshin Tigers to win the Japan Se-

ries. It was an amazing finish to an exciting

season, but 2015 could be even better for

baseball fans in Fukuoka.

As a team, the Hawks have made some

smart moves in recent years. Batting pow-

er has been down around the league so

the Hawks didn’t try to chase power. They

ranked second to last in home runs last

season in the PCL, but they led the league

by a large margin in batting average. In

fact they led the PCL in many offensive

categories like hits, RBIs, and most impor-

tantly runs scored. They were an offensive

machine with six of their starters batting

over .300. Yuki Yanagita, 25 years-young,

led the team last year with a .317 batting

average along with fifteen home runs and

33 stolen bases. He’s coming into the prime

of his career for power and his left handed

swing has a lot of natural loft, so look for

his power numbers to rise for the next few

years with true 30HR/30SB potential and

MVP caliber upside.

The Hawks seem to have stellar pitch-

ing every season. The Hawks’ 3.25 team

ERA was only behind the Orix Buffaloes

for best in the Pacific League (PCL). In fact

the Hawks were near the top of the league

in several important pitching categories,

strikeouts, hits allowed, runs allowed. All

of this despite only three of their start-

ers managing over 14 starts. Jason Stan-

dridge shouldered a heavy part of that

workload last year leading the team in in-

nings pitched and strikeouts, both career

highs for him. The bullpen was once again

CONTINUED ONLINE…BASEBALL IN FUKUOKA & HAVING FUN AT YAHUOKU! DOME.

LET'S GO 2015 HAWKS!COVER STORY

immaculate, both deep and talented. Den-

nis Sarfate anchored the 9th inning with a

matching ERA and WHIP of 1.05 and lethal

strikeout rate of nearly 13K/9IP.

The Hawks will play this year under the

command of rookie manager Kimiyasu

Kudo. A living legend in his own right, Kudo

may be a first year manager, but he spent

29 years pitching for the Lions, Hawks, and

Giants before retiring at age 48 in 2011.

With the walls moved in power should

rise in Yahuoku! Dome in 2015, but the

game plan should remain the same. Put the

bat on the ball, score lots of runs and use

the slew of bullpen arms to preserve leads.

The veteran players have skills that should

age well, the core players have settled into

their roles, and Yanagita and Nakamura,

the youngsters, are primed for breakouts.

The cards are in place for the Hawks to be

a much improved team which is exciting

considering last season they won it all.

MORE ONLINE…INTERVIEWS WITH JASON, DENNIS AND MORE HAWKS INFO ONLINE!

NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST!

The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that ravaged the eastern shoreline of northern

Honshu is no longer fresh in our minds. But relief work there still continues.

Dennis Sarfate and Jason Standridge are donating a portion of their salaries

this season to the Great East Japan Earthquake Recovery Initiatives Foundation.

At the end of the season starting pitcher Standridge will donate ¥200,000 for each

of his wins and closer Sarfate will contribute ¥100,000 for each save. Last season

Jason won 11 games and Dennis collected 37 saves!

DENNIS SARFATE（サファテ投手）Sarfate pitched for the Brewers, Astros, and Orioles as both a starter

and a relief pitcher. In 2011 he signed with the Hiroshima Carp. Sarfate

has pitched for the Carp, Lions, and since 2014 the Hawks. Since

coming to Japan, Sarfate has averaged nearly 60IP per year and

over the last three years has seen his strikeouts, strikeout rate, and

playing time increase. At the same time his ERA and K:W ratio has

been decreasing. With his two-seam fastball and slider combination

Sarfate is a true shutdown closer.

Four years have passed since the Great East

Japan Earthquake, but the reconstruction effort

still requires more time and money, so I decided

to get involved and make a donation. Since my donation is based on how I perform, it will

motivate me to play well. We must not forget that

the people of East Japan still need help.

-Dennis Sarfate

Recovering from the Great East Japan Earthquake is still going to take time. I thought about what I could do to help and decided to make this donation. My donation is only a drop in the bucket, but we must not forget the people try-ing to recover from the earthquake and do what we can to help. I will do my best this season. -Jason Standridge

JASON STANDRIDGE(スタンリッジ投手）The Tampa Bay Devil Rays drafted

Standridge with their first round pick

in 1997. He had a projectable frame

out of high school at 191cm and

110kg and the Rays fast tracked him

through their minor league system.

In mid 2007 the Hawks signed him

and he appeared in 20 games before

injury cut short his 2008 season.

He pitched with the Hanshin Tigers

from 2010-2013, but returned to the

Hawks in 2014. This year the Hawks

will once again look to Standridge to

pitch deep into games and help keep

the bullpen arms fresh for the fall.

FUKUOKA CITY BULLETINSELECTED NEWS TOPICS BY FUKUOKA NOW FROM FUKUOKA CITY’S SHISEI DAYORIFUKUOKA CITY BULLETIN

◊ Taking Fukuoka to the Next LevelThe City's budget for the 2015 fiscal year

was approved. At ¥782 billion (+¥5.6 billion

y-o-y), the general account budget is the

highest on record. Fukuoka aims to be "a

leading city in Asia, balancing people, urban

functions and the environment" and has

defined the creation of a positive feedback

loop between urban growth and improved

living standards as its basic strategy for

city management. Taking advantage of

relaxed regulations within the National

Strategic Special Zone, the City aims to

use the urban growth generated to raise the

standard of living. The details of the bud-

get can be found on the City's homepage.

◊ 9th Fukuoka Theater FestivalThe 9th Fukuoka Theater Festival will be

held at Nishitetsu Hall, IMS Hall and Pom

Plaza Hall from May 6~31. The event was

launched in 2006 as a way to build con-

nections between performers and the local

community. Theater companies from Fu-

kuoka and around Japan will be performing

at the festival. For a limited time, you can

by a special pass that grants admission

to all of the performances. Inquiries: Art

◊ Fukuoka House CompletedThe construction of Fukuoka House, a lodg-

ing facility for the family members of pa-

tients at the Fukuoka Children’s Hospital (5

Kashii-teriha, Higashi-ku), is now complete.

Located on the hospital grounds, the facil-

ity was funded in part by donations. It will

open on May 1 (Rate: ¥1,000 per person

per night) and will be managed by Ronald

use the fruits of this growth to improve the

standard of living for the citizens and ensure

the effects of this growth are felt in every

corner of the city. By promoting the National

Strategic Special Zone, the Tenjin Big Bang

and the Waterfront Redevelopment Plan, we

will not only enhance city functions, we will

also plant the seeds of future growth. We will

also work to use ICT and the power of the

private sector to create sustainable systems

aimed at resolving various social issues. I

look forward to seeing what new things you

will try in your respective fields. Together we

can take Fukuoka to the next stage.

◊ Fukuoka Marathon 2015Fukuoka Marathon 2015 returns this year

on Nov. 8 (Sun). The number of slots for

residents of Fukuoka and Itoshima cities will

the event more appealing to locals. Also,
