I used the lunch menu. The restaurant was very crowded, so I had to wait a long time because they ran out of rice. The seafood bowl for 1,000 yen was surprisingly luxurious, with 7 different types of seafood including salmon roe. The sashimi was thickly sliced and satisfying, and it also came with a sesame sauce for added flavor. I really enjoyed it and it has become one of my favorite restaurants that I want to visit again soon.

Moved by the seafood bowl #Akira Suisan {Kawabata-machi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City} On September 20, 2023 (Wednesday), I visited Akira Suisan. While walking through Nakasu Kawabata Shotengai, I came across a new-looking store. Upon researching, I found out that it was a newly opened store on July 8th. It is located slightly south of Kawabata Shotengai, near Dosanko. I was drawn to the seafood bowl displayed in front of the store. Moreover, it was limited to 20 servings, so I entered immediately. The payment was made in advance, and I received a number tag to wait for the arrival of the food. There was also delicious sea bream tea pickles available. The seafood bowl @ 1000 yen (tax included) arrived. It came with miso soup, pickles, wasabi, and sesame dressing. This seafood bowl is amazing! It had 3 slices each of sea bream, tuna, yellowtail, and salmon. In addition, there were shrimp, salmon roe, squid, and shredded egg. The bowl was packed full of sashimi, which was impressive. I was surprised by the thickness of each slice of sashimi. I was also amazed that the sashimi was arranged vertically. The sashimi was fresh, fatty, and delicious. There was almost too much sashimi, a luxurious dilemma. It was the best seafood bowl for 1000 yen (tax included). They also offer takeout options such as sushi, chirashi, and seafood bowls at the store. They even provide cooling packs for takeout, so I would like to use this service soon. 6-133 Kamikawabatamachi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City. Closed on Sundays.

I wanted to visit this new shop in Kawabata Shopping Street, so I went to check it out. You can choose between sesame sauce-marinated sea bream tea pickles, sea bream sashimi, or sea bream tea pickles with sesame sauce on the side, pay in advance, and then enter the eat-in area. I wonder if you can also buy sushi from the showcase outside and eat it inside. Since there was no guidance given, I'm not sure. The sea bream tea pickles were delicious and reasonably priced.

I had some business in the Nakasu Kawabata shopping district area, and decided to stop by to see the decorated floats of the Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival. Right next to the floats, I discovered a newly opened restaurant called "Akira Suisan." It is located next to the curry specialty store "Kari Honpo." "Akira Suisan" is a well-known seafood company in Hakata and Nagahama, specializing in wholesale and retail of fresh seafood and processed food products. They offer takeout sales of their products as well as dine-in options for their famous sea bream tea-cured dish and sushi. The restaurant just opened on July 8th and offers a variety of sushi sets and fresh gift sets. In the dine-in area, you can enjoy the "Assorted Nigiri Sushi [Orchid]" for 1,100 yen, the "Sushi Assortment [Camellia]" for 800 yen, and the "Natural Sea Bream Sea Bream Tea-Cured" for 1,200 yen. I tried the sea bream tea-cured dish, which came with wasabi, seaweed, and pickles. The dish featured slices of sea bream marinated in a special sesame sauce, showcasing the freshness and quality of the fish. The sea bream used for the dish is limited to fresh, live-caught sea bream. The sesame sauce, created by a chef who used to work at a famous hotel in Fukuoka, complemented the deliciousness of the sea bream. I enjoyed the dish by first placing the sea bream on rice and then pouring the broth over it. The teapot was filled with high-quality broth, and refills were available. It was a delightful meal.

When my husband ordered Akira Suisan's sea bream rice bowl from Rakuten, the children were very happy to eat it. The other day, my husband found the actual store of "Akira Suisan" in the Kawabata-dori shopping street and entered. He found a set of frozen sea bream rice bowls in the sales showcase. It seemed to be a special offer or limited time offer, as the cool delivery fee was free now, so we had it delivered to our home. Although it was frozen, the vacuum-packed fresh natural sea bream caught that day, so when we thawed it as instructed, the flesh was plump and had a chewy texture. There were two types of sauce included, sesame sauce and soy sauce (with a chili flavor), as well as wasabi from Izu Amagi and seaweed from Oita Yoshigoro, and dashi for rice bowl. It was 5400 yen including tax for 6 servings, and we were able to recreate a sea bream rice bowl like the one in the restaurant at home.

I went on a business trip to Hakata from Tokyo for the first time in a while. I happened to see a sign for sea bream rice tea and was drawn in. The sea bream sashimi was fresh and delicious with a great sesame sauce and broth. It was excellent value for money.
