This time, I visited a sushi restaurant in Fukuoka that offers great value for lunch. The location is about a 10-12 minute walk from Akasaka Station (Fukuoka) or Sakurazaka Station. The business hours are 12:00-14:30 for lunch (last order at 13:30) and 19:30-22:00 for dinner (last order at 21:00), closed for lunch on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I was on a trip to Fukuoka and suddenly wanted to eat sushi, so I searched on Tabelog and was able to make a reservation for 12:00 the next day with a phone call. The phone service was excellent! I made a reservation for two people. The exterior and interior of the restaurant have a traditional sushi restaurant feel. There are counter seats and private rooms available. We were seated at the counter near the entrance. We ordered the 5,000 yen course, with only beer available for drinks. The 5,000 yen course included a generous amount of dishes: 13 pieces of nigiri sushi, chawanmushi, soup, 2 pieces of tempura, and dessert. The quality and taste of the sushi were excellent, and the price was unbelievably cheap for the amount of food we received. I was very satisfied with the experience and would love to visit again if I have the chance. I'm now interested in trying other sushi restaurants in Fukuoka. Thank you for the meal.

Tonight, I was invited to Kijima and went there. It was difficult to find a taxi in the main area of Hakata due to the World Swimming Championships, so I had to walk from the subway station. The quality of the service was excellent, with each task being done meticulously. We were served plenty of dishes before the sushi, so the meal took a while to arrive.

Tonight's dinner was at a restaurant called Kijima, recommended by a senior colleague whom I haven't been able to see due to the pandemic. I traveled from my workplace in Nagasaki to Hakata, where taxis were scarce due to the World Swimming Championships. I walked from Sakurazaka Station to the restaurant and arrived on time. I started with a beer, enjoying the company and the various courses that were served. We ended with sushi, a soup, and dessert.

The dishes themselves were delicious, but the sushi rice didn't quite suit my taste. I don't remember the exact price, but I think we ordered the 8000 yen course. The meal consisted of the following: red snapper, fatty tuna, bonito flakes, botan shrimp, squid, tuna skin, mebachi tuna, sea bream, mackerel, enoki mushroom, katsuo, shrimp tempura, pickled red snapper, scallop, fatty tuna (torched), egg, sea urchin, conger eel, miso soup, tekka maki, red tea, and ice cream.

I visited the restaurant for a 6,000 yen lunch. It is located a short walk from Sakurazaka Station. The restaurant had a luxurious feel and was very lovely. I especially liked the design on the wall next to the counter and the design of the plates, which I later found out were Arita ware. The small dishes that came out were also very cute and I couldn't get enough of looking at them. The chef was also very friendly and we had a nice chat. Eating delicious sushi, my last lunch in Fukuoka became a wonderful memory. Each piece of sushi was very tasty, and I couldn't believe that we could enjoy so much sushi and drinks for just 6,000 yen. I envied the locals in Fukuoka.

On Friday afternoon, my husband finally managed to secure a reservation at a restaurant he had been wanting to try. The lunch service started promptly at 12 o'clock, with a cozy counter seating for 10 people. The chairs were comfortable, the space was nice, and the meal began with a non-alcoholic drink. The sushi was delicious, with thick cuts of fish that were a hit with both men and women. Each dish that followed was outstanding - from the tuna to the scallops, shrimp tempura, and more. The chef engaged us in conversation, and we had a great time chatting with the other diners. It was truly a delightful experience, and we enjoyed every bite. At the end of the meal, we were asked if we would like some sake for the evening service. We said yes, looking forward to trying more dishes that would pair well with alcohol.

I went to Sushi Kijima in Fukuoka in mid-March 2023 based on a friend's recommendation. The lunch course was 6000 yen and included dishes like steamed sea bream, chicken skin, squid with ginkgo nuts, and hot toro tuna. The meal also featured dishes like maguro, buri with green onion, delicious shrimp tempura, sawara with a straw-like aroma, garlic-flavored katsuo, melting uni with crispy seaweed, seared medium fatty tuna, fluffy anago with sansho pepper, and a refreshing ara soup with the aroma of sansho. For dessert, there was Earl Grey ice cream and black tea. The chef prepares the sushi alone, so it's recommended to order a beer first and expect the meal to last around 2 hours with short breaks in between. If you have the time, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

I visited Sushikijima in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. Today, I had lunch there. The head chef is from Karatsu City, so the restaurant is filled with pottery from there. The sushi is individually handcrafted by the head chef and is delicious with a lot of soul put into it.

I visited for lunch and to put it mildly, it was amazing. The sushi was easy to eat, with high-quality fatty fish and clean shari. I thought to myself... I could easily eat 100 pieces of this... if only I had the money...!! No, I'm not kidding. It just goes down so smoothly. I want to keep eating this for the rest of my life~♪ Also, there seemed to be fewer oily fish that day. As someone who loves lean and white fish, this was a big plus for me. But, I also want to try the oily fish from a sushi place this delicious. I've been to various sushi restaurants recently, but this one was hands down the best in terms of taste and value. Thank you for the amazing experience, Kijima.

I visited a highly rated young sushi restaurant in Fukuoka. The dishes I had this time were as follows: [Nigiri/Sushi] - Ghost, wakame with vinegar miso - Hirame engawa was also included - Onsen tofu, made from Mifuneyu onsen tofu - Bonito tataki with burdock chips - Ara, a perfect 12kg ara fish, with a unique texture and sweetness - Shio-kara, homemade of course, using delicious squid available year-round in Fukuoka - Suimono soup with conger eel and seaweed from Oita - Chawanmushi with green laver as an accent - Scallop served on a seashore - Tuna skewer - Ayu tempura - Yari-ika nigiri, beautifully presented with a unique flavor - Shinko nigiri with kombu, a divisive option - Maguro-katsuo nigiri, a common sushi option in Fukuoka - Kuruma-ebi nigiri, always a delight - Tuna akami-zuke nigiri - Trout nigiri from Lake Biwa, a recent trend - Tuna chu-toro nigiri - Ebi tempura, perfect with beer - Kohada nigiri, a classic choice for me - Miso soup [Today's drinks] - Masters Dream (small) - Kamotsuru Junmai Ginjo, fully fermented - Toyo Bijin limited Junmai Ginjo, Sake Mirai - Juyondai Junmai Ginjo Hattannishiki Kainyu 2021, a famous sake brand with tuna in it, offering good value for the price I would definitely like to visit this sushi restaurant again.

I used it for lunch for the first time. You can enjoy delicious sushi at a reasonable price with good cost performance. Don't expect luxurious or surprising sushi, but rather sushi carefully made with traditional ingredients. I had a relaxing time even during lunch. There are lunch options for 3000 yen and 5000 yen, and I chose the 5000 yen one, but I felt that the portion was a little small.

It's been a while since I visited Fukuoka. I went to this restaurant that I had made a reservation for. I had heard from an acquaintance that the food was delicious. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm. The chef skillfully prepared each piece of sushi, providing the best quality. It was a very satisfying experience. Thank you for the meal.

Sakurazaka to Akasaka: Sushi [3-cho Akasaka, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City] Sushi Kisima, located about 10 minutes from either Akasaka Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Airport Line or Sakurazaka Station on the Nanakuma Line, after three years since my last visit to Fukuoka. It was raining during the Golden Week holidays, so instead of walking from Hakata Station, we took the subway to get to the restaurant. We arrived at the counter seats and started with a draft beer (still not very hungry from drinking too much in Osaka the day before). The lunch course starting at 12:00 for 5,000 yen was quite reasonable. The menu included Hirame, Otoro, Squid, Odori, Hilas, Pickled Tuna, Sawara, Bonito, Sea Urchin, Seared Tuna, Simmered Anago, and Toro Tekka, followed by Chawanmushi, Fruit Tomato, Squid Shio Koji, Tempura of Shrimp Heads, Tamagoyaki, Miso Soup, and Dessert. We also enjoyed Sato's Black Rock and Nakamura Rock shochu. The skilled chef prepared the sushi for us, and we were able to enjoy it leisurely for two hours. There are 8 counter seats, 4 tables for 2, and private rooms available. After the rain stopped, we took a walk in Ohori Park together. "It was delicious. Thank you for the meal."

I have only used the lunch service a few times, but the lunch here is really great value for money. There are 3,000 yen and 5,000 yen courses available, which would cost more than double if you had the same thing for dinner. Despite being an authentic counter sushi restaurant, the prices are reasonable, making it easy to casually drop by for lunch. (Reservation required) The customers who come here are often regular couples or gourmet-looking couples. On my first visit, I didn't know how many pieces of sushi would be served, so I was satisfied after about 8 pieces and was about to leave (laughs), but then there were still about 3 more pieces to come. Additionally, chawanmushi, clear soup, and dessert are included. The high value for money makes it feel like you're getting free food along the way. You can enjoy the entertainment of looking at, smelling, and tasting each piece of sushi using all five senses. The fact that you can enjoy this experience, including the price, is truly amazing. It makes you feel grateful to be Japanese and even fills you with a sense of happiness. There are table seats at the back of the counter, and strollers are allowed, but to avoid disturbing other customers who are enjoying the mindfulness of sharpening their senses, it is still recommended to go with adults only.

I used it for lunch with my friends. It was difficult to make a reservation, but my wish came true ♡ Every piece of sushi was very fresh and delicious, and the miso soup and chawanmushi were also very tasty. The exterior and interior were very beautiful and I was very satisfied ♡ Next time, I would like to try going at night ✨

It gives the impression of a modern sushi restaurant that follows the traditional sushi kappo style in Hakata. Starting with freshly made soft and flavorful tofu, the dishes were exquisite. The tai (sea bream) was exceptional, as well as the whale and wakame salad. The firefly squid and sea lettuce appetizer was a nice break between courses. The seaweed chawanmushi, grilled sandfish, fried shrimp and fish roe, and grilled shirako were all delicious. The variety and quality of dishes make this restaurant perfect for sushi lovers. The grilled squid with grated daikon, the mackerel sushi, and the sea urchin hand roll were highlights. The egg custard had a gentle and slightly sweet flavor. The conger eel soup and fruit dessert were a satisfying end to the meal. The sushi rice had a gentle texture.

I felt like eating sushi after a long time, so I made a reservation and went for lunch. There were lunch courses available for 3000 yen and 5000 yen, and I chose the 5000 yen course. The lunch started with nigiri sushi, followed by Ishigaki sea bream, tuna, shrimp, squid, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), yellowtail, horse mackerel, mackerel, bonito, sea urchin, seared fatty tuna, egg, eel, miso soup, and tekka maki (tuna roll). The portion was sufficient, and the sushi was served promptly without having to wait. The sushi rice was slightly sweet, and overall had a soft and gentle flavor.

Fukuoka's sushi is truly delicious. This time, I indulged in a luxurious 5,000 yen lunch course. The sushi I had included: bream toro, squid, shrimp, flounder, chawanmushi, miso soup, seared yellowtail toro, sea urchin gunkan, toro with conger eel, and more. Each piece was thick and the rice was perfectly seasoned, making every bite a delight. I requested thin rice, so there were quite a few pieces for a woman, but they were all delicious. I will definitely go back. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

■ Overall Impression I called ahead and found out that they were fully booked for lunch, but had availability for dinner, so I decided to go. Since they couldn't serve alcohol due to being in the middle of a mambo, I drove there. There are many trendy restaurants in this area. This restaurant was amazing. The order of the photos taken and the notes may be different, so the actual order of the dishes served may vary. The number of dishes was crazy. I've never taken 30 photos in one meal before, and there were nearly 20 just for the sushi part. The onslaught of dishes was incredible. If I had ordered alcohol, I would have definitely had a lot to drink. ■ Sweetfish Scales The first dish was here. The aroma was fantastic, and the sweetness of the sweetfish was also excellent. ■ Horse Mackerel and Bonito Next up was this dish. It's rare to have proper bonito, so I was happy. The horse mackerel was delicious, but the bonito was amazing. ■ Conger Eel It's a bit blurry, which is a shame, but the plum was well-balanced. It's been a while since I had it, ever since I ate it in Kyoto. I'm happy. ■ Grilled Tuna Skewer Skewers like this are complex. When sashimi is seared, it becomes tight and sweet. The balance with the green onions was also good. ■ Squid Salted Innards This was definitely an appetizer for sake. I went with oolong tea. It was delicious, but I really wanted to drink some sake. ■ Sea Urchin Chawanmushi The flavor of seaweed and the richness of sea urchin were exquisite. Just like at Isshin in Miyazaki, chawanmushi showcases the individuality of the sushi restaurant. ■ Cold Tofu The freshness of this dish is delicious. I want to eat tofu dishes of this quality. They are available in places like Arashiyama in Kyoto, but not everywhere. ■ Wild Eel Unexpectedly, there was eel. I didn't expect to have it at a sushi restaurant. It was tender and delicious. ■ Conger Eel Soup Second time having conger eel. It was very refined. ■ Rockfish and White Shrimp Next up was tempura. The number of dishes was crazy. It has its own flavor, so you can eat it as is. It was also tender. ■ Spear Squid Finally, the sushi part. The spear squid was a greeting. The squid was sweet, and the texture was great. I'm not a fan of oversized sushi because I prefer to eat it in one bite to savor the taste. ■ Sweetfish with Kelp Second sweetfish. The umami was incredible. At this point, I realized that this sushi restaurant doesn't need soy sauce or anything. ■ Pickled Ginger This ginger is a must-have at a proper sushi restaurant. Where can I buy this? It's delicious. ■ Sweet Shrimp Next was sweet shrimp sushi. I recently discovered that I might have a slight allergy to crustaceans. I remember feeling nauseous after eating a lot of shrimp and crab, but I was able to enjoy this dish. ■ Medium Fatty Tuna I wasn't a big fan of tuna before, but proper tuna is really delicious. This phenomenon applies not only to tuna but also to sea urchin and salmon roe. ■ Mantis Shrimp This was probably my first time having mantis shrimp. I remember being scared when I saw my relatives eating it after catching it with a brush in Kumamoto, as if they were eating an alien. Since then, I've been hesitant, but it was delicious. It's just a bit scary. ■ Shrimp Head This is the safe option of shrimp. I couldn't eat shrimp heads when I was younger, but now I can. ■ Thread-sail Filefish An unfamiliar fish. It seems to be a type of amberjack when I looked it up, but it offers a different kind of umami that continues. ■ Fish Head A high-quality fish has arrived. Delicious. ■ Sea Urchin This was the highlight of the day. Just like at Kikuzushi, it's all about the seaweed. It's completely different. The only downside is that the photo came out blurry. ■ Clams Clams, which I haven't had in a long time, were delicious. The umami seeped out. ■ Vinegared Mackerel I feel like it's been ages since I had vinegared mackerel, but it was delicious.

✔️I finally went to Kimijima for the lunch course (¥3000) that I've always wanted to try. The tuna and sea urchin melted in my mouth, and the shrimp was fresh and firm! I was surprised to see the shrimp tail still moving after I finished eating. The seared dishes were also amazing. I visited on a weekday for lunch, and both the counter and tables were full. It seemed like the chef was working alone, so the service was relaxed. I recommend going with plenty of time to spare.

Lunch at Sushi Kijima in Fukuoka was a delightful experience. The counter seats are slightly elevated, creating a charming atmosphere. For those looking to enjoy a leisurely lunch, private rooms are also available. I opted for the 5000 yen course, which included 11 pieces of sushi and dessert. The value for money in Fukuoka is great when it comes to sushi. The standout dishes were the meticulously prepared squid and the succulent shrimp, both bursting with sweetness. The consecutive servings left me feeling incredibly happy. The fact that dessert was included was a nice touch. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from Sakurazaka Station, so those unfamiliar with the area may get a little lost at first. Overall, the sushi was consistently delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
