Assassin from Kansai, let's go! I lined up for about 40 minutes before entering on a Sunday afternoon. There are many voluminous menus unique to Kansai. Honestly, in terms of sushi, I prefer Sushizamai from a chain store. As for the a la carte menu, there are more options here, but I don't think I will revisit. However, my favorite was definitely the Ebi Seven! It was delicious with shrimp, vinegar rice, and egg yolk! Other than that, there was nothing particularly special.

I decided to have an early lunch at KITTE underground in Hakata Station before heading to the airport. I arrived at 10:53 and looked around to see where to eat. There was a long line at shin shin, and also at Koko Sashisusan next to the escalator. I thought about moving around Hakata Station area, but ended up waiting in line at this place. I ordered a bottle of beer and tempura tulip, but the beer took a while to arrive. After waiting for about 5-6 minutes, the beer finally came. Since the tempura was taking a long time, I decided to order sushi. However, it was a bit chaotic because you had to order from the waitstaff, who were busy with seating customers and managing the dining area. Eventually, I was able to order sushi after seeing the neighboring table receive their food. The sushi arrived surprisingly quickly, but I found the rice and fish to be quite small. After eating about 6-7 plates, the staff finally seemed to have settled down and I was able to place additional orders. The total bill came to around 5,000 yen. Overall, I felt like I would have been better off going to a regular sushi restaurant or a conveyor belt sushi place for lunch. Disappointing experience!

My popular sashimi friend, who now has three stores in Fukuoka, and I went for a daytime drink. We ordered some items from the menu that caught our attention: - Shrimp 7: Large, plump shrimp that were delicious. - Toro Taku Maki: The overflowing toro was a pleasant surprise. - Sushi Bar's Potato Salad: Salmon flakes, ikura, and tobiko with just the right amount of salt for drinking. - Mackerel Can Salad: A simple salad with mackerel can and onions. I tried making it at home right away. - Kochi's Chiku: Delicious Chikuwa from Kochi. I had Highball and Lemon Sour, but both were a bit light for my taste. I ended up drinking too much. It's great that the restaurant is open all day, perfect for us who enjoy bar hopping. I would definitely like to visit again.

I had a great time indulging in maguro (tuna) three ways (akami, chutoro, zuke), shiromi (white fish) three ways (tai, nodoguro aburi, hirame), aburi (seared) three ways (chutoro, aka ebi, salmon), toro tekka maki, today's simmered dish, and highball. The restaurant is located in KITTE Hakata B1F, just a short walk from Hakata Station. I actually got lost trying to find the Hakata Main Store and somehow ended up at KITTE. I arrived at 6:30 pm on a weekday and had to wait for about 50 minutes as there were 5-6 groups ahead of me. The prices were reasonable and the quality of the ingredients was excellent. I especially loved the toro tekka maki. By the time I left, the line had gotten even longer. It's a popular restaurant.

"Sashisu" is a sushi izakaya that has taken over Osaka, being heavily featured in the media and always having long lines in Osaka. While on a trip to Hakata, I stumbled upon a "Sashisu" sign with no line! There were seats available at the counter! I couldn't believe it! This was my first experience with "Sashisu" in Hakata. However, it seems like there are still long lines on weekends here as well. Prices are excluding tax. First, I had a small beer for 580 yen, which was good. The Ebi (shrimp) for 7980 yen was a specialty, with large shrimp on top of sushi rice, topped with egg yolk. Each shrimp was delicious and the sushi rice was also good. The Uni (sea urchin) roll for 590 yen was a combination of seared domestic beef and uni, which surprisingly went well together. The Honmaguro (tuna) trio (akami, chutoro, zuke) for 520 yen was affordable, although not visually impressive. The flavor, however, was true to the tuna. The nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) nigiri (2 pieces) for 400 yen was decent, with a rich flavor, but lacked the melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I added a refreshing midori soda for 390 yen. The total bill came to 3,806 yen, which was quite reasonable. The quality of the sushi was average, but overall it was an enjoyable experience. The Ebi 7 was particularly impressive. It's recommended to try the visually appealing menu items with a group for a satisfying experience. Just having regular sushi might lead to higher expectations and potential disappointment. This was an interesting restaurant experience.

The potato salad with tobiko and ikura is incredibly delicious due to the saltiness. However, there is always a long line, so you need to have some extra time. The sushi, in my opinion, is great because you can try various types with less rice. It's recommended to budget at least around 2000 yen for lunch.

I visited the restaurant on a holiday afternoon. We couldn't make a reservation, so everyone was waiting in line. There were about 4 groups in front of us, and we waited for about 20 minutes before we could enter. The restaurant is located on the restaurant floor, with no partitions, so it is noisy and visible from the outside. The food was of high quality and delicious. The potato salad was topped with plenty of ikura, providing a delightful texture. The fatty tuna roll was packed with fresh ingredients. The Ebi Seven dish combines the crunchy texture of shrimp with egg over rice. It was a good restaurant where you can enjoy quality sushi without a high price.

Having a lunch drink in Hakata. Luckily, there was a short line, only waited for 15 minutes. I was guided to a table at the back. The Ebi 7 is definitely a favorite of mine, although it's not cheap, the big and juicy shrimp is just irresistible for shrimp lovers. The tulip fried chicken is juicy and goes well with the highball. The sashimi platter was also good. It was my first time trying the Uni Nigiri, and it was satisfying. You can enjoy seafood at a reasonable price here, so I might come back again. Thank you for the meal.

I couldn't go to the popular spot in Osaka, but the line was still a bit shorter in Fukuoka, so I decided to wait in line. The prices were cheap and the taste was delicious, it was really amazing. If there wasn't a line, I would want to visit regularly.

In Osaka, there are always long lines and it's hard to get in, but when I wandered around Hakata, I found a place! I'll try it right away ^_^ The taste is well, of course, delicious, but maybe the high expectations from the long line made it seem not as amazing? Or maybe the presentation is so good that it raises expectations too high? Anyway, it's delicious but I don't think it's worth waiting in line for. Thank you for the meal.

Underground mall at Hakata Station. Plenty of dining options, perfect for a casual drink. Found this place in the KITTE underground dining area. Open space with a relaxed atmosphere, great for a light drink. Sat at the counter and started with a bottle of beer. The beer tasted great after a long journey! For food, I couldn't decide but since it's a sushi restaurant, I went with sashimi. Got a platter of three kinds of sashimi. The chef was preparing the food right in front of me. The sashimi arrived, handed to me by the chef. The sashimi included salmon, yellowtail, and maybe red snapper. The slices were quite thick and tasted delicious with wasabi and soy sauce. After the beer, I had a highball which was surprisingly strong. Enjoyed the highball while eating the generous slices of sashimi. The fish had a good amount of fat which paired well with the beer and highball. It was an affordable and enjoyable casual drink. I'd like to try their sushi next time.

I was looking for a place for daytime drinking and miraculously found this popular spot with only one person waiting in line. I decided to check it out. It's a really popular place with great value for the price. However, it's a bit disappointing that there isn't anything exceptionally delicious, as everything is just average in terms of taste.

I finished my health check-up in the morning and headed to Hakata for a lunch drink. I arrived at Hakata Station around 10:00, but of course, they wouldn't serve alcohol in the commercial facilities so early haha. I wandered around and killed time until 11:00, then headed to 300 Yatai Alley! I wanted to eat some fish, but they didn't open until 11:30, so I went to KITTE underground where a place I had been to before seemed to be opening soon with about 5 groups waiting in line. It's always crowded, so I was lucky to get in on the first go. I definitely wanted to eat the Ebi Seven, so I ordered it right away! The pickled shrimp on a bed of vinegared rice was quite filling. The tuna liver style sashimi was served with sesame oil and salt. I've never had tuna like this before, but surprisingly, it's good! It goes great with alcohol. The tulip fried chicken that I had last time was delicious. It was very juicy and refreshing with a squeeze of lemon. Finally, I had a few pieces of sushi. They're not super cheap, but it's convenient for a casual sushi and drink outing. If there's no line next time, I might go again. Thank you for the meal.

Today's second meal is a situation where "sushi, sake, sashimi, and more" are all intertwined! So, I visited "Sushi Sakaba Sashisuse KITTE Hakata Store" and ordered the following: - Tuna Trio (520 yen excluding tax) - White Fish Trio (580 yen excluding tax) - Toro Tekkamaki (980 yen excluding tax) - Okinawan Mozuku (280 yen excluding tax) - Quail Egg Spice Simmered (280 yen excluding tax) - Oolong Tea (330 yen excluding tax) The Tuna Trio was incredibly delicious and melted in my mouth. The lean, medium fatty, and marinated tuna were all full of flavor. The White Fish Trio included sea bream, seared nodoguro, and flounder, each light and flavorful in their own way. The seared nodoguro was particularly rich and satisfying. The Toro Tekkamaki, a specialty of the house, was amazingly delicious with the toro overflowing. The Okinawan Mozuku was refreshing and the Quail Egg Spice Simmered had a curry-like flavor that was delightful. The toro tekka maki is a must-try! Thank you for the meal.

Opened on October 14, 2022, "Sushi Sakaba Sashisu" at KITTE Hakata offers a concept of enjoying sushi and alcohol together. With nigiri starting from ¥150, small dishes from ¥280, and drinks from ¥290, the quality of the ingredients exceeded expectations. Located near Hakata Station, it's the perfect spot for day drinking.

"Sushi izakaya 'Sashisu,' which is very popular in Osaka, has opened a new branch in Hakata. Located on the basement floor of KITTE Hakata. You can enjoy authentic sushi for 2 pieces for ¥150, and alcohol starting from ¥290, making it very reasonable. I visited on a weekday night and there was already a line. The ingredients are all fresh, and side dishes such as chawanmushi and red miso soup are all delicious and very satisfying! This place is definitely popular. The Hakata branch is open for lunch on weekdays, so it is perfect for lunch as well as day drinking."

This time, we visited Sushi Sakaba Sashisu KITTE Hakata store located at 9-1 Hakataekichuogai, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. This is their second store following the one in Tenjin, and it seems to be gaining popularity quickly. The restaurant has a compact layout with about 12 counter seats and 5 table seats (4 seats each), totaling around 30 seats. The first drink we ordered was a regular lemon sour for only 290 yen (tax included). The freshly squeezed lemon sour was priced at 400 yen (tax included), but the regular one was just fine. Sashisu's recommended three-piece set includes the Tuna Trio [Akami, Chutoro, and Maguro Zuke] for 520 yen (572 yen), the White Fish Trio [Tai, Nodoguro Aburi, and Hirame] for 580 yen (638 yen), the Wagyu Aburi Nigiri [2 pieces] for 530 yen (583 yen), Toro Tekka for 980 yen (1078 yen), Boiled Anago for 400 yen (440 yen), and Shrimp Seven. The Tuna Trio is the best value for money! The 3-piece set and Toro Tekka are also great choices! The Toro Tekka, as shown in the photo, has a generous portion of tuna and less rice. The Boiled Anago had a slight fishy smell. The Shrimp Seven, despite its unique name, had a good amount of shrimp with a creamy yolk on top. A refill of Green Tea Highball for 390 yen (429 yen) was refreshing. The pickled ginger is free for refills. It's nice to have a place to casually stop by and enjoy some snacks. Thank you for the meal.

A popular restaurant from Osaka with long lines has opened in Fukuoka. I was surprised to see a huge line in Tenjin (Imaizumi) at night. I heard they also opened in Hakata Station, so I decided to give it a try. I arrived 3 minutes before the 11 am opening and there was already a line. They started seating people as they opened, and I was seated after waiting for about 30 minutes. I ordered the following: Toro Tekkamaki, Toro Salmon Roll, Eel Cutlet Sandwich, Squid Leg Tempura, Regular Lemon Sour, Highball, Spicy Goldfish Lemon Sour, Black Kuro Kirishima Shochu, and Daiyame Shochu. The Toro Tekkamaki was a hit and there were so many orders of it. The Toro Salmon Roll had salmon topped with salmon roe. The Eel Cutlet Sandwich had a crispy texture and was enjoyable. The Squid Leg Tempura was smaller than expected. The restaurant was clean, and the staff provided excellent and friendly service. Overall, the food was satisfying and worth waiting in line for.

Adjacent to Hakata Station, "KITTE Hakata" opened on October 4th in the underground area, commonly known as "Umaito," a sushi izakaya originating from Osaka. This is the second branch in Fukuoka following the popular one in Tenjin, although I have not visited the latter due to the inability to make reservations. Fortunately, I happened to pass by the restaurant and found a vacant seat at the counter, so I decided to have dinner alone. The restaurant offers both counter and table seating, and I felt comfortable dining alone as there were other solo female customers as well. Upon being seated, I was served "gari" (pickled ginger) which is complimentary and refillable. I ordered a regular lemon sour drink (319 yen including tax), which was light and easy to drink. Since there were no assorted sushi options available, I chose the "Honmaguro Sanmai" (572 yen including tax) and "Ebi Sanmai" (638 yen including tax) which each consisted of three types of sushi. Each piece of sushi had a slightly larger portion of rice seasoned with vinegar. The "Honmaguro Sanmai" included akami (lean tuna), chu-toro (medium fatty tuna), and marinated tuna. The appearance was appealing and the chu-toro had a refined fattiness that was delicious, along with the other two pieces. The "Ebi Sanmai" featured amaebi (sweet shrimp), akami ebi (red shrimp), and botan ebi (botan shrimp), with the shrimp heads served as deep-fried. The botan ebi was particularly enjoyable for me. I also ordered the "Shirako Tempura" (550 yen including tax) without realizing it was actually made from tuna milt until after ordering. The batter was well-seasoned, but the texture of the shirako was firmer than expected, which was not quite to my liking. Overall, the tuna sushi was surprisingly delicious, and although I wished there were more variety in the sushi selection, the 6 pieces along with the tempura left me satisfied. If there were an option for an 8-piece assortment, it would be more convenient for solo diners. With a variety of appetizers available as well, I believe this restaurant is suitable for those looking for a casual sushi dining experience. The convenient location next to Hakata Station and the reasonable prices make it a place I would consider visiting again. The total bill, including drinks, came to 2,079 yen (tax included, credit cards accepted), and a detailed receipt was provided at the time of payment.

I was invited by an acquaintance who is an Instagrammer to visit this place that recently opened in Hakata. The other night, while walking in Imaizumi, I saw a long line forming at a place called "Sashisu" and wondered what it was. Turns out, this place is really popular! I never expected it to open in KITTE (ﾟωﾟ) I left all the ordering to my friend, and we ended up trying a variety of dishes. The shrimp nigiri was delicious, with plenty of large, marinated raw shrimp. The fatty tuna roll was filled with so much delicious tuna that it was overflowing. The tulip-shaped fried chicken and the pickled nagaimo were also great snacks. In addition to individual sushi pieces, they also offer popular assortments of 3 pieces, which is great for those who want to try a variety of options. This was my first time at Sashisu, and I was impressed by the delicious and affordable food. I always thought it was a popular spot for young people, but in Hakata, there were also many office workers and adult women, so it seems like a place that caters to a wide range of customers. Thank you for the meal.
