The history of Hanamitori began in 1949 when Mr. Yoshiharu Kawatsu, who was in charge of wholesale at a chicken wholesaler called Torizen in the Yoshizuka shopping street in eastern Hakata, opened a restaurant on the second floor of his store. While selling chicken, he encountered Mizutaki through relationships with a number of restaurants.
