The exterior may seem intimidating, but lunch starts at 1800 yen, making it accessible. The interior has a small counter and about two private rooms. Before coming here, I had been turned down by three sushi restaurants in the area, which made me even more determined to eat sushi. If this place didn't work out, I was ready to seek comfort in Bangladeshi curry spices! Thankfully, my sushi craving was satisfied here. I opted for the 3800 yen premium selection, which included delicious large oysters. I paired it with chilled sake. The sushi was traditional and comforting, although some pieces had flavors I wasn't fond of. The only downside was that the sushi was served too quickly, making me rush through the meal while enjoying my sake. The sushi was prepared by an apprentice, while the owner had a warm and comforting presence throughout.

Tonight, I had a rare work-related dinner, The dinner. Located in a quiet alley near the Gokoku intersection in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, this place has been in business for over twenty years. Although I had heard of it before, this was my first visit. The course I had included: - Seaweed with ponzu sauce - Simmered octopus - Assorted sashimi - Assorted whale dishes - Grilled prawn - Grilled sea bream - Grilled abalone - Grilled mullet roe - Squid sushi - Tuna sushi - Sayori sushi - Simmered abalone sushi - Sea urchin battleship sushi - Eel sushi - Egg - Miso soup Simple yet delicious, each dish allowed me to savor the flavors of the ingredients. The sake I had with these luxurious appetizers were "Kame no Okina" and "Hakata Ipponjime." They were so delicious that words cannot describe it, so I'll skip that part! The friendly nature of the head chef and the female owner was also a great accompaniment. Another delicious memory of Fukuoka has been etched into my heart. Thank you very much! It was a feast!

I had been curious every time I passed by this sushi restaurant. I heard from a friend that they offer a lunch menu, so I decided to visit. The restaurant is known for being expensive, so I didn't want to be disappointed. They only open for dinner, but I thought I'd start with lunch. The interior of the restaurant is clean and the friendly owner greeted me with a smile. They have been in business for nearly 20 years at this location. The display case had high-quality ingredients like abalone, shirako, and swordfish. The sushi selection included tuna, amberjack, horse mackerel, flounder, shrimp, squid, and ikura. The rice was standard, but the fish was fresh and had good thickness. Among them, the horse mackerel and squid stood out for their sweetness. I also enjoyed the tamagoyaki and yam plum shiso roll. The tamagoyaki had a nice sweetness to it. I chose the chawanmushi as my side dish, and it was delicious with a flavorful broth. It's a traditional sushi restaurant where the owner and customers can enjoy conversations while dining. You can tell that the owner takes pride in seeing customers happy. They also have a good selection of appetizers, so it's a nice place to stop by for a light meal in the evening as well. Sushi Yoda Phone: 092-712-3480 1-3-14 Akasaka, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City

"Sushi Yoda" is a sushi restaurant located near the Kegu intersection, next to the Hakata Champon restaurant Kurodaya. I found an app that can combine multiple photos into one, so I was able to consolidate a large number of photos into seven. I discovered this place when I visited the neighboring Champon restaurant before. After reading a review by a fellow reviewer, I decided to visit but was hesitant due to the unknown prices. However, I received some extra income from pachinko, so I finally decided to visit. According to a fellow reviewer, the two key points to look for in a new sushi restaurant are being located just off the main street of a bustling area and having a clean entrance. "Sushi Yoda" meets these criteria as it is located in a convenient yet affordable area just off the main street between Tenjin and Daimyo. The entrance is clean and inviting. The restaurant has been around for 21 years but looks new. It has a clean interior with 8 counter seats and tatami seating. The owner and his wife, along with another chef and a female staff member, were present during my visit. The owner was friendly and welcoming, and I had a chance to chat with him since there were no other customers at the time. The menu indicated that the price for omakase sushi starts at 2,100 yen, making it accessible to occasional visitors as well. I sat at the counter and started with a bottle of beer and a complimentary appetizer of tamago tofu with yuzu flavor. I then ordered an omakase sashimi plate, which included flounder, horse mackerel, and ark shell. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. I continued with grilled smelt, which had a delicate saltiness and was perfect with a glass of sake. I also tried a rare delicacy, red jellyfish from the Ariake Sea, which was served raw with ponzu sauce and ginger. It had a crunchy texture and was very tasty. I enjoyed it with a glass of Urakasumi ginjo sake. I also tried a Niigata sake called Shimetsuru, which was smooth and easy to drink. Finally, I ordered an omakase nigiri set, which included kohada, flounder, squid, fatty tuna, sea urchin, shrimp, ark shell, and clam. I also added sardine to my order. The sushi was expertly prepared, with beautiful presentation and delicious vinegared rice. I enjoyed it with another glass of Shimetsuru sake. It was a luxurious and satisfying meal. The lunch menu starts at 1,500 yen, and the restaurant is open on Saturdays as well. I look forward to visiting again for lunch next time."
