There is a mysterious atmosphere at this restaurant located near the strange Heiwadori station. I had the Salmon Chirashi for 1,296 yen. The space seems to have some distortion or twist...!? Overall, the freshness of the ingredients was decent, although the rice was a bit firm. The addition of the sliced omelette was a nice touch. The price seemed fair for what was offered. Surprisingly, they accept Suica payment, which is uncommon for this type of restaurant.

I arrived at Kitakyushu Airport 30 minutes later than planned, causing my pick-up to wait a bit. We wondered if I would make it to the afternoon meeting on time, but I was able to travel smoothly, so I decided to have lunch at a small sushi restaurant near Jimusho. The restaurant seemed to be run as a hobby, according to my companion (lol). The lunch menu, in particular, was very reasonable. I chose the sea bream head stew set for 1100 yen, but there was too much rice, so it felt like overkill with the side dishes. However, I managed to finish it easily without asking for more rice. After the meeting in the evening, we had a small dinner, but we didn't take any photos. We left early and relaxed in our room at the inn.

My father's birthday, so we decided to celebrate by going out for sushi. We usually order delivery from "Eisushi," but this time we decided to dine in. It's a sushi restaurant we've been loyal to for years, but surprisingly, it was my first time visiting the actual restaurant. I felt oddly nervous. My wife doesn't drink, so she drove us there. There was a convenient parking lot in front of the restaurant. [Exterior] The restaurant had a calm and elegant Japanese-style appearance. It wasn't overly fancy or too casual, striking a good balance for a sushi restaurant. It had a modest decoration and a quiet exterior, making it a bit hard to notice for first-time visitors. [Seating] There were counter seats and private rooms with sliding doors for tatami seating. The seating space was spacious and comfortable. [Interior] The interior was a pure Japanese style with warm wooden designs. It had a moderate elegance and a touch of populism, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The counter was a polished single piece table, and the tatami seating was comfortable. My 4-year-old daughter, Koko, had something interesting to say. She asked, "Where's the bullet train?" She thought we were going to the sushi restaurant where the sushi is delivered on a train track. That place always entertains her with the bullet train delivery of sushi, so she was a bit disappointed that this restaurant didn't have that feature. But it's impressive how she was expecting non-conveyor belt sushi at such a young age. [Menu] We started with sashimi, and my father and I ordered some drinks. My wife and mother ordered the "Special Nigiri" for 2,100 yen. The menu had clear prices including consumption tax. We also started with some sake. I don't drink beer as it fills me up, but watching my father enjoy it made me want some later, so I ordered it out of order. [Sashimi] My father ordered a random selection of sashimi, and it was delicious with firm texture. The portions of sea bream, yellowtail, and flounder engawa were a bit small, so they disappeared quickly. It was elegant but a bit lacking in quantity. [Uni Sashimi] My father's favorite dish, uni sashimi served on a board. He has a luxurious and extravagant way of enjoying uni on a board. It was truly indulgent and extravagant, especially during these tough economic times. [Tenpura Assortment] We ordered this as a snack with our drinks, but my wife ended up eating most of it. It had shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, and other common ingredients. The batter was crispy and light, and the tempura dipping sauce had a refined and elegant umami flavor. [Negitoro Roll] I love sushi rolls, so even though we were at a non-conveyor belt sushi restaurant, I couldn't resist ordering the Negitoro roll. It was a bit pricey at 1,050 yen, but when it arrived, I was surprised by the generous portion. The two rolls were quite large, with plenty of Negitoro filling. It had a rich and mellow flavor that paired well with sake. Overall, the experience was enjoyable, and the food was delicious. It was a nice change from our usual routine of ordering delivery.

I have been ordering sushi from here on sunny days since I was a child. It is likely that many people living in this area also do the same! The delivery person is always friendly and we sometimes chat a bit when they deliver the food (laughs). This place has been loved by the community for a long time for a reason (*⌒▽⌒*). And of course, the taste is amazing too! The fish is fresh and delicious. Today they had fatty tuna instead of yellowtail! It's always a nice surprise. The seafood rolls are filled with salmon roe, sea urchin, and various other fish - so luxurious! The sea urchin is also delicious (o^_^o). They use quality ingredients! There are other places that I think are delicious as well, but I don't like wasabi so I always ask them to leave it out. However, I've gotten used to the weak wasabi at conveyor belt sushi restaurants recently, so I decided to try it with wasabi this time. But when I tried it, it was spicy! Even my family felt the heat! The wasabi they use must be good (^-^). They also deliver hot chawanmushi that is almost too hot to touch (^-^)v. It might be difficult for people from far away to visit this place due to its location, but for those nearby who haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!
