This place serves sushi only.

No side dishes and no alcohols.

There are only five seats at the counter.

Great graciousness to compete only with sushi.

You can face the sushi in a sophisticated sense.

They only use local fishes from Kyushu region.

They merely mature the fishes.

Their sushi is decorated with liver or lime, and prepared with combination technique.

The rice is like a Temari (round ball) sushi in a round form.

It is fairly soft and likely to be collapsed easily.

The splendor of the place lies in the hospitality and personality of the master.

Sushi bar located in a residential area.

The master always keep learning, and his ingenuity and hospitality are wonderful!

I was amazed how he thought a lot to make customers to taste delicious and eat easily.

Kuruma shrimp can be eaten with one bite to make its taste always the same.

Fatty tuna meat and rolled sushi is prepared with a knife easy to eat.

Since the rice is as warm as human skins, he makes it to the room temperature 30 minutes before customers come.

The amount of rice and vinegar as well as the strength of how he grips sushi are all amazing.

The inside of the bar is like a classical style, and he has no wastes in his movement, the movement of his hands is beautiful.

You can feel the fine cares from the master and you can concentrate on eating without any stresses.

The lunch of 5000 yen is highly recommended with a good cost performance.

You must have his specialty 'inarizushi' rolled in a juicy deep‐fried tofu.

This place is decorated in red in the modern interior and the atmosphere of the counter is very like a home.

Beautiful dishes and sushi grasp you to drink sake rapidly.

The first half of the course delivers snacks as well as a bowlful of sashimi (raw fish).

Then, nigiri (sushi) like flatfish with kelp, Kohada fish, and horse mackerel are amazing.

Their specialty is salmon roe in bean curd sheet rolls and it is an innovative combination.

The soft feel pickled and fatty tuna meat are also wonderful.

Everything helps you drink sake.

Evolving handsome Edo-style sushi.

The history of evolution contines.

The master examine the materials and pursuit to enhance the taste of sushi.

Snacks and sushi are made with the own interpretation of the master.

As the bar serves an expensive sushi, he selects certain materials of course,

and also sees the accurate flow of the course by selecting the materials,

and he changes how to grip rice depending on strong fishes and sensitive fishes.

Snacks are mainly for sake and he serves a few sashimi.

The rice of sushi is cooked well and fairly hard on its surface.

As a result, the rice ball does not lose its shape, and come undone in the mouth, but you can still feel the taste of rice grain to the end.

It is seasoned with red vinegar with strong taste and goes well with strong fishes with a lot of fat. It is highly recommended for those who would like to enjoy sushi together with Japanese sake.

The owner says there is deliciousness in a light taste. You can enjoy such a taste in the Japanese cuisine in Kokura.

There you find counter seats as well as a private space in the back.

The private space can be reserved with 4 or more people, and you take your shoes off.

The dishes are only selected by the chef as a course.

You feel the delicate preparation from the dishes, that take good advantages of Kyoto style rather than strong tastes.

The chef grills foods in front of you and I get attracted by the use of knives live.

Cooked rice at the end of the course is the best! Too good with teriyaki of a pike conger and small fishes.

The master is reticent and serious, and therefore, stringent to himself and others.

Vessels like Baccarat and from Kyoto are also the reason to visit this restaurant.

Authentic South Indian meals to continue evolving.

The atmosphere of this place is like a bar and it is also very good to enjoy drinking.

When you enter the place, you scent spices.

It is the best space to enjoy South Indian meals and wine.

Philosophy of South India to 'take advantage of the taste of material' is reflected at the much higher level.

I was surprised to see the colors and materials that I had never seen.

With the involvement of the meals philosophy, this place provides complete meals with Japanese materials like lotus root and bitter gourd.

By mixing rice and ingredients, this also mixes the taste of sweet, sour, meat flavor, and spices to make a perfect taste that impresses us.

It is the precise taste because of focuses on the materials.

The commitment of the owner is overwhelming.

With the involvement of the meals philosophy, this place provides complete meals with Japanese materials like lotus root and bitter gourd.

You are overruled by spicy and herb scents, commitments to materials, unseen colors and materials.

They place curry on a silver large plate and eat it mixed with rice.

By mixing rice and ingredients, this also mixes the taste of sweet, sour, meat flavor, and spices to make a perfect taste that impresses us.

It is the precise taste because of focuses on the materials.

Meals can be sold out because of lack of materials, so you better make a reservation if you go from a distant place.

You are overwhelmed by the commitment of the owner.

An adult and relaxing atmosphere with low lights. This place has only counter seats and is talented.

The chef only selects meals in a course.

The plate of sashimi is amazing and everything is prepared with some efforts. It is delicious.

'Butterfish' is servedd by grilled with Japanese pepper and soy sauce, spreads aroma, and melts in your mouth.

Garnish island shallots are good to eat between the course dishes.

The steak of 'Saga cattle Shintama' has the fine redness with low fat.

It is originally soft in its feature, and after grilled, you find it melted in your mouth with reasonable burnt.

When you take the lid of 'Hokkaido Row Bowl', it sparkles like a ruby.

Bliss with a nice cuisine. It is the perfect place for a reward of yourself.

The best space and hospitality in a sophisticated Hakata style.

It is a member only sushi bar located in the exclusive residential area with great foods.

It has the perfect atmosphere inside not only with its building but also with detailed furnishings, those arrangements, and perfect cleanliness.

The master does all the works by his own, and is severe and has an aura, and is friendly and gentle.

It is nice to know that he even cares the temperature of dishes for cooking.

Soup of asari clams is very delicate and strong, and tastes unbelievably delicious.

Dashi (Japanese soup stock made from fish and kelp goes perfect with all the dishes.

Sushi takes the sophisticated Hakata style.

Rice for sushi has slightly gentle vinegar, and is well-balanced with fishes.

All the sushi look beautiful and you feel happiness when you eat them. Extremely high praise in total.

There are only 10 seats at the counter.

Dumplings are baked per one serving, and cooked on an iron pan

side by side.

Pleasant-smelling gives you appetite.

Fillings in the dumpling are in a small portion and the shape of it is flat, but the bottom is crispy and the surface is soft rice a rice cake.

They are dumplings that you have never experienced and delicious.

The way to eat water dumplings is unique, and they are eaten by seasoning sauce put directly in a bowl.

It is like a 'wonton soup' with garlic and spices.

I want to them to inherit the appearance of the restaurant and the uniqueness of foods in the future.
