In Tenjin, TATSUMI SUSHI offers great value for lunch, while HYOTAN SUSHI is always crowded on weekends, so we decided to try this place instead. We couldn't stray too far from Tenjin, so we headed to the Iwataya Department Store 7th floor. Even here, lunchtime can get busy, but luckily we found a free table and three of us entered. We recommend the B course sushi set with 9 pieces. It comes with salad, soup, chawanmushi, and dessert for a total of 3,960 yen including tax. First, the salad and chawanmushi are served. Eat the chawanmushi while it's hot. The salad dressing is sesame-based! The soup, apart from the colorful arare, is simple with wakame, daikon, and fu. Soon, the sushi arrives on a large plate, adding a touch of luxury compared to the one-by-one serving style at the counter. We started with the spear squid topped with grated radish. Squid is delicious in Fukuoka, isn't it? The flounder with garlic soy sauce has a rich flavor enhancing the mild white flesh. The amberjack with green chili pepper provides a spicy accent. The marinated mackerel is moist and delicious. On the next plate, the large scallop adductor melts in your mouth. The shrimp is deep-fried with a crispy texture. The shrimp's antennas are removed, making it easy to eat. Although it's common, the medium fatty tuna is simply delicious! It's rich and melts in your mouth. The inari sushi from Hakata wraps around the sushi rice perfectly. Save the sea urchin and salmon roe cocktail for last. Ah, I want to drink some dry sake! But why is this new ginger sprout so delicious? It's perfect for sake. After finishing the sushi, enjoy the coffee jelly dessert. It was a luxurious lunch and a blissful moment. Thank you for the meal!

Tatsumi Sushi in the restaurant area of Iwataya is a place I often visit. I stopped by after shopping at Iwataya and the taste is always reliable. You can definitely expect a good meal here. The chefs are also friendly and create a pleasant dining experience.

I visited the long-established sushi restaurant Iwataya in Fukuoka. It had been a while since I last visited. I wanted to try a lunch special at another restaurant, but it was already over. I noticed the service lunch here and asked if I could still order it, and they said "no problem." I sat at the counter, and I had the "limited to 20 servings service lunch (1,760 yen including tax)" with creative dishes served one by one with garnishes. The dishes included: snapper with grated radish, tuna, raw conger eel with pickled plum, flatfish with miso, horse mackerel with ginger, pickled mustard leaf roll and thick roll, their specialty "inari sushi with wasabi," salad, and miso soup with seaweed. It's easy to use as it's located in a department store, and for under 2,000 yen, it's a satisfying lunch option.

I love Hakata so much. You can drink at the depachika or underground at the station. The department store restaurant area is open all day, so you can eat and drink like it's nighttime. I visited at 3:00 PM, so there was no lunch set, but I had a deluxe sushi set (9 pieces) and a highball. Hakata sushi is the best, each piece is small with its own unique flavor. The squid has a hint of yuzu that you can taste. The fatty tuna is served with garlic soy sauce. The shrimp is sweet and they even fry the head for you. I'll have a cold sake, 2 servings of Hakkaisan, please! The abalone has a firm texture, fresh and sweet with a hint of the sea. In a cocktail glass, uni and ikura! There's a little bit of rice at the bottom. I need more sake! I ordered a shimesaba as a closer and got a seared version and a mixed plate. You can compare the flavors and the searing adds a rich taste. It's delicious and beautiful.

A small shop near the Nagahama Fish Market has now expanded to three stores, so they must have their own unique business philosophy. As it was close to the last order time, I directly ordered the 6600 yen dinner set. The sushi at the shop is already seasoned, so soy sauce was not needed. The ingredients were fresh, the portions were generous, and the seared sushi in particular was excellent. The meal was short but I rarely have the opportunity to enjoy such wonderfully delicious sushi dishes.

On weekdays during lunchtime, there were always 3-4 groups waiting. However, I was able to be seated relatively quickly. I felt that the 3980 yen lunch course was very luxurious and had great value for money. In addition to what is shown in the photos, the course also includes a salad, soup, and dessert. The inari sushi was much tastier than buying it at Iwataya B1F. I definitely want to go back again!

I visited "Tatsumi Sushi Iwataya Store" for lunch on a regular day, just a 3-minute walk from Tenjin Station on the Fukuoka City Subway. Established in Nagahama in 1980 (Showa 55), this restaurant is a renowned sushi restaurant in Hakata that has been loved for many years. While I have visited the Nagahama store before, this was my first visit to the Iwataya store. **Store:** The restaurant is located on the 7th floor of Iwataya, in the dining floor. Arriving around 1:15 PM, there was one other customer ahead of me, so I waited in the seating area outside the store. I entered through the dignified red curtain into the spacious interior, which had counter seats, table seats, and even tatami seats at the back. The lively voices of the chefs echoed in the pleasant atmosphere. I was seated at the counter. **Menu:** There are many lunchtime limited menus available, including seasonal recommended courses, seafood bowls, and Tatsumi set meals. Of course, omakase is also possible. This time, I ordered the "Seasonal Recommended Course" for 1,760 yen. A salad was promptly served. **Salad:** The salad consisted of shredded cabbage, carrots, mizuna, corn, and a little seaweed. It had a sesame dressing and was a typical salad. **Sushi:** - Shrimp Pressed Sushi: Fresh shrimp with crunchy cucumber. The sushi rice was just right. - Hiroshima Greens Roll: The bitterness of Hiroshima greens and the refreshing acidity of plum were a perfect match. - Anchovy and Sea Grapes: Firm sea bream with the saltiness of anchovy and the popping texture of sea grapes. - Horse Mackerel: Incredibly tender horse mackerel with a perfect balance of ginger soy sauce. - Yellowtail: Sweet miso sauce enhanced the delicate flavor of the fish. - Tuna: Moist and tender texture with a strong umami flavor. - Flatfish: Mild and light flavor with no strong taste. - Inari Sushi: Surprisingly delicious inari sushi with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. - Miso Soup: Lightly seasoned but with a good dashi flavor. **Conclusion:** Tatsumi Sushi's creative sushi was still impressive at the Iwataya store. They offer unique combinations without using soy sauce. The staff provided excellent service in the restaurant district. It's a welcoming place suitable for various occasions. Thank you for the meal.

After shopping at Iwataya, it's easy to stop by the sushi restaurant on the 7th floor. They have limited lunch options, and this time I ordered the Tatsumichi chirashi. I had lunch with my friends at a table. The chirashi sushi is tasty on its own, with well-seasoned sushi rice. Personally, I prefer a more subtle flavor. The toppings were all delicious, including eel, making it quite luxurious. I enjoyed it. The chawanmushi, soup, and dessert were all tasty as well. After 12 pm, the restaurant gets busier and there may be a wait. I recommend arriving early. They have both table and counter seats. You can relax at the table seats.

In Hakata, I think it's a well-known hidden gem. It's located inside Iwataya, a pride of Fukuoka, so it's perfect for shopping. I ordered chirashi sushi and sushi, and the chirashi sushi was quite generous in portion. The sushi had amazing toppings, but personally I felt the rice could be a bit better.

Weekday lunch special. Comes with rice on the plate and in the restaurant. Rice is included with the chair and table. Soy sauce is not on the table, sushi already has flavor. The sesame dressing on the salad is very tasty. The miso soup has seaweed in it and is delicious. Thank you for the meal♪

I was able to make a reservation for the counter seats at Tatsumi Sushi Iwataya store on the same day. If I hadn't made a reservation, I would probably have been seated at a table. It costs 3900 yen and includes 9 pieces of sushi, chawanmushi, miso soup, salad, and dessert. It's a good value for the price. When ordering, they ask about any sushi ingredients you don't like. For example, if you don't like blue fish, they will switch it to raw conger eel. This flexibility is great. The pickled ginger is also delicious. You can also have seconds. I would like to try the main store in Nakasu as well.

It's been a while since I visited Tatsumi-san. The sushi here doesn't need any soy sauce, as each piece is perfectly matched with its own topping. The anchovy in particular was incredibly delicious. Although it was a weekday lunch, the place was still bustling, so I had to wait outside on a chair for about 15 minutes. But it's worth the wait here. The sushi is beautiful and looks like a work of art. Eating alone at the counter is a luxurious experience that should be savored. This sushi restaurant is always evolving and improving. Thank you for the meal.

I visited after a long time. I was able to enter without waiting on a weekday. It's very convenient for a quick meal with family while shopping in Tenjin. They are very accommodating to families with children, allowing strollers inside and providing tatami seating for a comfortable dining experience. I'm not a fan of the slightly sweet pickled ginger, but I've always liked this place for its chic sushi without soy sauce. It may be a bit lacking for men, but the lunch menu is more suited for women.

I avoided the lunchtime crowd and visited the restaurant. I ordered a sashimi platter set menu and added some uni as well. The staff were efficient and provided quick sushi service. I also added an extra negitoro roll with extra tuna, which made me feel very satisfied. The location is convenient, but the value for money is not great for items outside of the set menu. Overall, it was a good experience.

Iwata-ya Shinkan food court is convenient and easy to use. There is no wait if you avoid peak times, and the service is fast without any stress. I arrived after 5 pm and requested sea urchin, sashimi platter, chawanmushi, grilled sazae (turban shell), sweet sea bream with miso paste, and a premium sushi platter. The uni and ikura mini rice bowl is served in a glass. Both the appetizers and sushi were delicious. The dishes came one after another, and even when shared, there was plenty to go around. I ate quickly and became full quickly. It's convenient to have sushi while shopping.

I visited the restaurant with a friend around 8:00 pm on the same day, despite not having much time. I was glad that it was not crowded. While I had the image of a lunch spot in a department store, I was pleased to find a variety of sashimi platters and other dishes available here. I have been to Tatsumi Sushi's main store before, and I was able to fully enjoy the quality of their dishes and the variety of nigiri sushi. It was delicious!

I visited this restaurant for lunch after a long time. The sushi chefs there were as professional and focused as ever. Eating sushi at the counter felt luxurious and sophisticated. This particular restaurant has a formal atmosphere that makes you want to straighten your collar. At Tatsumi Sushi, there is no soy sauce on the counter (maybe only during lunchtime). Each piece of sushi is seasoned perfectly by the chef. For example, the sea bream was topped with anchovy, and the horse mackerel was served with grated daikon and red pepper, showing the creativity and experience of the chef and the history of the restaurant. Every piece was delicious! The rice was expertly molded and melted in the mouth, blending perfectly with the toppings to create a harmonious dish. While conveyor belt sushi is convenient, it's worth treating yourself to high-quality sushi like this once in a while. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I chose the special course for lunch. The creative sushi was quite enjoyable, especially the horse mackerel. I usually don't like shiny fish, but the ones here were really delicious. And the cocktail of sea urchin and salmon roe at the end is a must-try. It's the height of luxury. Chain sushi restaurants tend to have lower ratings, but I feel like this place deserves a higher rating. The price is a bit high for lunch, but it's worth it.

In Fukuoka, there is a famous sushi restaurant. I visited around noon and it was almost full. I had my meal at the counter. Eating alone at the sushi counter made me feel quite grown-up. The chef asked if I had any fish I didn't like, even though there was a set course. This attention to detail is not always common. Tuna, squid, sea bream, and mackerel were served one after another. There was no soy sauce on the counter. The chef informed me that each piece had sauce already applied, so I should enjoy it as is. Each piece had a different sauce, making the experience very enjoyable. The sushi had a small, perfectly balanced rice portion that melted in your mouth. There was a harmony between the rice and the fish, allowing you to fully appreciate both. It was a proper, traditional sushi restaurant. I could feel the chef's dedication and seriousness. Sometimes, we should treat ourselves to the real deal. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first experience at Tatsumi Sushi in Iwataya. I haven't been to the Tatsumi Sushi in the harbor area yet. It was quite an early lunch. Right after I finished, the restaurant quickly filled up and there was a line outside waiting. I tried the limited 20 lunch special, which was still available. The style is to eat the sushi without dipping it in soy sauce. Each sushi was delicious and carefully prepared with a well-balanced flavor. I used to buy this "Nankansen Inari" quite often. The bite-sized portion was just right. The lunch special was perfect for women, but might be a bit small for men. It was delicious.

There may not be many good dining options inside the department store, but since this place is directly connected to Tatsumi Sushi main store, the food is simply delicious♡ The main store is located in Nakasu Kawabata, so it's quite convenient to satisfy your sushi cravings after shopping in Tenjin! The sushi tastes great and looks beautiful, definitely a restaurant worth visiting again♪
