Next to the PayPay Dome, I went to "Daikichi Sushi" located inside E・ZO FUKUOKA and had some sushi. This place is produced by "#Kawataro" and "#Kawasho", so you can expect top-quality conveyor belt sushi. The highlights were Kawataro's squid tempura, spear squid, and squid fin sushi. You can enjoy Kawataro brand squid sushi and tempura at a reasonable price, making it a satisfying experience. While it may be a bit pricier compared to cheaper conveyor belt sushi places, the quality and satisfaction are definitely worth it!

Kawataro and Kawasho's shop, which is produced by Kawataro, is a sushi restaurant. I always wanted to go there, and the perfect opportunity came up. The prices vary since it's a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. I was very satisfied with the simple sushi. The more elaborate toppings like pickled items were a bit unique. Despite it being produced by Kawataro, I forgot to try the squid, which was a blunder. Each plate had 2 or more servings, so I ended up quite full. I ended up eating a bit extravagantly for a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but overall, I was very satisfied with the simple toppings. My stomach was full.

Located right next to the PayPay Dome, with a direct connection from the Dome deck to the 3rd floor of E.ZO FUKUOKA. [Train] About a 15-minute walk from Fukuoka City Subway Airport Line "Korokanmachi Station" [Bus] About a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Bus "Kyushu Medical Center" [Car] ■PayPay Dome Parking: First hour 300 yen, then 150 yen every 30 minutes (weekdays) 5 hours free with E.ZO use (weekends and holidays) 3 hours free with E.ZO use on game days as well. ■MARK IS Fukuoka Momochi Parking: 3 hours on weekdays, 1 hour on weekends and holidays free. No discounts for using our store, special rates during Dome events. 840m from Korokanmachi Station I went for lunch when I had business at E.ZO and was looking forward to it as it's produced by Kawataro. There was a bit of a wait as it was lunchtime, but we were able to enter in about 5 minutes. We ordered using a tablet, but overall, it's quite expensive. The taste is not much different from typical chain restaurants. The squid had a strong smell and was not good. I was surprised at how expensive it was for the quality of the ingredients. Also, the time it took for the sushi to arrive was very slow and the staff's service was not good. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good points about this place. Expensive conveyor belt sushi that is delicious is great, but this place is just expensive without any merit.

On a holiday, I experienced the TeamLab art at BOSS・EZO next to Markis, and then we ended up at this sushi restaurant. I had previously visited TeamLab at Musashino in Saga, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was enough to keep us entertained for about an hour, so we quickly came here to enjoy some alcohol. Surprisingly, there were many solo female customers at the counter, while families mostly occupied the table seats. We ordered using the self-order touch panel. We enjoyed some horse mackerel sashimi and shrimp tempura while sipping on our drinks. We also tried various types of sushi, which were all delicious, but I may have set my expectations too high. The steamed egg custard was well-seasoned and tasty. I remember that the prices were quite reasonable on that day. I later found out that this restaurant has branches near the canal, in a hotel, and at LaLaport as well. Since I don't usually come to this area, I wonder if it would have been better to go to a certain sushi restaurant near Markis. Thank you for the meal.

After visiting Fukuoka Tower and Momochi Beach, I got hungry so I decided to look for a restaurant inside E・ZO FUKUOKA next to PayPay Dome. I chose this place because it looked delicious. I had a seafood bowl at a revolving sushi restaurant. It was delicious.

I went to a revolving sushi restaurant called "Daikichi Sushi" located next to the PayPay Dome in E・ZO FUKUOKA. I was surprised to learn that this place is produced by "#Kawataro" and "#Kawasho"! I had no idea that these two places were doing revolving sushi. The food was delicious even before I started eating. I tried the following items: - Pacific saury for ¥320 - Kawataro's squid tempura for ¥590 - Spear squid/squid fin for ¥260 each - Nagasaki tuna trio for ¥880 I was very satisfied with the price of Kawataro brand squid tempura and squid sushi. The seasonal Pacific saury was also delicious! I had never heard of this place before, but I'm so glad I found it. I want to come back again. Highly recommended!

The day was lively around the PayPay Dome as there was a Softbank game scheduled at 6 o'clock. It was 4:30 when I arrived, and even though this restaurant was always empty whenever I came, the tables were now full. I had planned to order about two dishes since it hadn't been long since lunch. I was seated at the counter and ordered my usual, the "Tekkamaki with Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna: 429 yen" (only option without wasabi). As I looked at the tablet menu, I noticed that you could choose "less rice" for the sushi, so my plan of two dishes turned into three. I added the "Seared Chu-toro: 649 yen" and the "Seared Salmon: 286 yen". The sushi was delicious, but the Tekkamaki was lacking in ingredients and poorly rolled, making it fall apart when eating. I also noticed the hectic atmosphere of the staff, possibly due to the crowd, and the disappointing serving time (around 10 minutes for each dish).

The taste is worth the price. There are more non-conveyor belt sushi restaurants these days, and this place falls into that category. The prices are a bit high, with some dishes costing 1,100 yen per plate. We ordered a variety of items, but what stood out as worth the price was the squid. It was incredibly delicious with a strong sweetness, possibly due to being produced by Kawataro. The sushi rice was gently seasoned, and the nigiri was made by skilled hands, giving a high-quality and fluffy texture. On the other hand, some dishes felt overpriced. I might come back here when I want to treat myself a little.

(2022.07.01) Established over 60 years ago, "Kawataro," which proudly claims to be the originator of the now famous Hakata specialty "live squid sashimi," and the sushi restaurant "Kawasho," representing Hakata, have produced a conveyor belt sushi restaurant called "Kyushu Hakata Daikichi Sushi," which opened next to the Fukuoka PayPay Dome in July 2020, as the spread of the coronavirus pandemic began... Despite the prolonged situation of not being able to operate as expected, the restaurant opened a second branch at "Lalaport Fukuoka," which opened in April this year. I heard about this and decided to visit "BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA." Since this is an entertainment facility, it is likely to be crowded on holidays, but... unlike the bustling food court at the neighboring "MARK IS Fukuoka Momochi," the food hall here is empty, with only three customers in the restaurant with 8 counter seats and 9 table seats for 4 people each. Due to this situation, there are no sushi plates rotating on the conveyor belt, and instead, the sushi ordered using the touch panel is delivered to the table on a special express lane. First, I tried the "Nagasaki Hon Maguro Chutoro Gunkan." It is said to be from Nagasaki, but it may be from the Goto Islands. Although the color is a bit dull, the rich umami flavor can be enjoyed from the red meat attached to the bones. Next, the "Madai with Yuzu Pepper Flavor." The firm texture of the sea bream, thinly sliced, is complemented by the yuzu pepper sauce, creating a refreshing spiciness that pairs well with the mild taste of the sea bream. Following that, the "Hakata Aomon Sanmai (Horse Mackerel, Amberjack, Mackerel)." The blue fish caught in the Genkai Sea is exceptional with its firm texture... the beautiful shine of the skin of the fresh mackerel was stunning. The "Nagasaki Maguro Akamon Sanmai (Otoro, Chutoro, Akami)" was served next. Encouraged by the Chutoro I had first, I enjoyed a luxurious three-piece assortment of melting otoro, rich akami, and chutoro that allows you to taste both. As a palate cleanser, I tried the "Tempura of Natural Sea Bream." I was expecting a plump and fluffy sea bream, but it seemed to be the same type of fish as the sushi topping... a bit disappointing. To finish, I had the "Kawataro's Squid Sanmai (Spear Squid, Bigfin Reef Squid, Sesame Squid Gunkan)." When it comes to Kawataro, it's all about the squid, right? So... I enjoyed the chewy texture of the spear squid, the refined taste of the bigfin reef squid, and the sweetness of the most luxurious sesame squid. When dining alone, it's not possible to enjoy many different types of sushi, but it's nice to have many plates of three-piece assortments like this.

I went up to the restaurant floor after achieving my goal. The restaurant handles raw food, which is a bit concerning. I waited for a while and sat at the counter seat. I ordered using a tablet since there were no rotating plates. I realized I hadn't eaten sesame mackerel, so I also ordered a beer. The sushi arrived before the appetizers. The sesame mackerel was delicious but I wished there were more pieces. The famous fluffy steamed conger eel was small but tasty. The Nagasaki tuna trio was good too. I wanted to order the salmon roe but thought it was too expensive for the small portion. I aspire to be a sophisticated drinker at a sushi restaurant, but it might be difficult without money. Now, I'm heading to Tenjin.

In the middle of BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA 3F The FOODHALL, there is a revolving sushi restaurant. It's not your typical 100 yen sushi, so be prepared for higher prices. However, for the sake of "ichikatsu" activities (going to the same place as your favorite idols and eating the same food), it's worth a visit since you're already at the theater! Nene-chan (Chitoe Nene) and Hana-chan (Matsuoka Hana) ordered the Nagasaki tuna "Akamon" feast for 963 yen and the fluffy steamed conger eel for 495 yen. The luxurious plate with lean tuna, medium fatty tuna, and fatty tuna, along with the almost 500 yen conger eel, was delicious but we thought we'd be full after that. However, we ended up ordering horse mackerel and sesame mackerel as well. Thanks to that, we spent over 2,000 yen for 4 plates... ^^)

Located right next to Fukuoka PayPay Dome, "BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA" is an entertainment facility created by Fukuoka Softbank Hawks, featuring a rotating sushi restaurant! The renowned Hakata restaurants "Ikakatsu Zori Hatsumei Kawataro" and "Ganso Hakata Maesushi Kawasho" have collaborated to produce this gourmet revolving sushi restaurant. These two top-notch restaurants have been beloved by local dignitaries for a long time, making them high-end establishments that are usually only accessible for special occasions or business meetings. With "Kawataro" and "Kawasho" overseeing this revolving sushi restaurant, you can enjoy high-quality sushi in a casual setting. In addition to standard sushi items, they also offer specialty dishes favored by the people of Kyushu and Hakata, such as Aomono, squid, fugu, and Saga beef sushi, allowing for a wider range of options compared to dining at Kawataro or Kawasho. Adjacent to PayPay Dome in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka, E・ZO FUKUOKA houses various attractions like the first-ever virtual experience facility, a Yoshimoto permanent theater, TeamLab Museum, the Sadaharu Oh Baseball Museum, cafes, and restaurants. It's a complex facility where you can enjoy a variety of activities before or after a baseball game or event at PayPay Dome. I visited "Kyushu Hakata Daikichi Sushi" in the restaurant area "THE FOODHALL" for lunch. The interior is beautifully designed and sophisticated. The menu includes items ranging from 140 yen. I indulged in various sushi items on Christmas day, such as Nagasaki maguro (akamonzanmai, chutoro, otoro), olive oil-scented yariika, fluffy steamed anago, sesame mackerel, and more. The experience was delightful, and I look forward to trying the three thrilling attractions offered at E・ZO FUKUOKA on my next visit.

Fukuoka is somewhat of a city, but the cost of living is not very high and the seafood and livestock routes must be good. I often think that. Apart from 100 yen sushi, it's amazing that you can eat this kind of sushi at a revolving sushi restaurant at the same price as farmed and frozen imported fish in Honshu. Moreover, in the Kyushu area, farmed amberjack and yellowtail are surprisingly delicious. I think there is an advantage in both the revolving sushi and the ingredients. Recently, farming technology and freezing technology have been improving. It's amazing that you can eat fish like ara (known as "kue" in Honshu), spear squid, and wild red snapper at this price. Honshu people usually expect the fish at revolving sushi restaurants to not be very tasty, so they tend to choose fish that are difficult to farm nearby. Like Saga beef roast beef at a revolving sushi restaurant... it's usually dry and imported. I also found the wasabi to be quite tasty. But please don't skimp on it from the beginning. Also, there was good and cheap sake at the revolving sushi restaurant, so I would like to go there for a second round.

Kawataro-produced conveyor belt sushi. Due to the influence of the coronavirus, there is no rotation. Orders are made through a touch panel. I have visited Kawataro in Nakasu a few times, so I had high expectations. Highballs for ¥100 to celebrate the league victory! I had to order that. For sushi, I ordered what I wanted to eat: 3 types of squid, live sweet shrimp, ark shell, live abalone battleship sushi, scallop butter, and squid tempura. You can choose between normal and small-sized sushi rice, and I chose normal. However, both the rice and the toppings felt small to me. Maybe I'm used to eating larger sushi portions... It might be good for a light sushi meal. It's important not to have too high expectations. Thank you for the meal.

Collaboration revolving sushi restaurant created by Kawasho becoming part of the Kawataro Group. The specialty Olive Oil scented Spear Squid (salt) flavor has a nice texture. Kawataro's Squid Trio Spear Squid, Bigfin Reef Squid, Sesame Squid Gunkan Sushi seems to go well with rock salt rather than soy sauce. Recommended to buy a whole piece of Nagasaki Bluefin Tuna, Salmon, Kawasho's specialty Fatty Tuna, and traditional Hakata-prepped Mackerel. The specialty Squid Inari Steamed Dish was not available, but the broth was delicious. The ingredients were not the best. Golden Boy Sardine Nigiri Sushi, Fresh Bluefin Tuna Belly Nigiri Sushi (limited edition), Kawataro's Squid Dumplings are definitely delicious. I wrote "reasonable," but it may be slightly pricey for a revolving sushi restaurant.

Since my last visit to Ebi Soba Ichigen, I had been curious about Hakata Daikichi, not Hakata Daikichi. It is produced by Kawataro in Nakasu, and from the photos, the quality of the ingredients seems good. However, the sushi here is not Daikichi, but Daikyou. First of all, the soy sauce is not tasty. The magic taste to preserve the ingredients is too strong, a wrong soy sauce. No matter how delicious the ingredients or rice are, if the soy sauce is not good, everything is ruined. Next to E・ZO Fukuoka is Markis Fukuoka, where Kanazawa Maimon Sushi is located. The most disappointing thing is that Kanazawa soy sauce is too elegant for Kyushu people. I like the Hakata Special Grade Soy Sauce from Genkai Maru. However, not only the soy sauce but also the ingredients are not tasty. The sea urchin is frozen from Chile. The amberjack is sticky without the crunchy texture and the juiciness of the fat. The only delicious one was the red snapper for 260 yen. It is like the area between the belly and the fin of the amberjack and the fluke. It was a coincidence, but both pieces were red snapper. Natural red snapper costs 450 yen, but farmed red snapper costs 260 yen. In this era where aquaculture technology has developed, and marine pollution is a global issue, farmed fish that are raised to be safe and delicious while eating feed that is harmless to the human body are generally safer and tastier than wild fish. The fluke also costs 260 yen. However, it overlaps with the red snapper. Oh, I haven't eaten squid. Kawataro is all about squid. Squid directly from Yobuko. However, most of the squid served at Yobuko's squid restaurants are from Munakata, Fukuoka. Since it takes about 30 minutes by car from Fukuoka City to Munakata City, it is faster to transport from Munakata than from Yobuko. After the consecutive typhoons No. 9 and 10, maybe the quality of the ingredients is usually better. However, it is clear that it is inferior to Genkai Maru, Ichiba Sushi Uotatsu, Hakata Uogashi, revolving sushi markets, and Hyotan's revolving sushi. Squid, amberjack, sea urchin, salmon roe, all taste much better at Sushiro. You don't have to go to this restaurant; there is Genkai Maru in Imazumi. Do not think that the quality of the ingredients at this restaurant equals the quality of Hakata.

A new high-end revolving sushi restaurant has opened next to the Fukuoka Dome, now known as the PayPay Dome. It seems to be an outpost of a famous restaurant in Hakata. The location is convenient, right next to the dome. However, the prices are quite high, even for a place near the dome. If you're planning to eat until you're full here, be prepared to see a lot of money disappear. The quality of the sushi is good, but the prices are a bit too high for me. The beer is delicious, though. It's a good place for those who want to have a light meal, but for those looking for a hearty meal, it might be a bit too expensive.

On July 21st, next to the Hawks' home base PayPay Dome in Fukuoka, a large-scale complex facility called "BOSSE・ZOFUKUOKA" opened, featuring various food and entertainment establishments. On the 3rd floor, there is a food court floor where you can find restaurants that are making their debut in Kyushu, Japan, or nationwide. One of these restaurants is a revolving sushi restaurant produced by the originator of live squid sashimi, Kotaro Hasu. The restaurant mainly has table seating with some counter seats available. I was seated at the counter as I was dining alone. Each seat is separated by a transparent partition, and the sushi rotates on a lane in front of you. I ordered some dishes using the tablet provided on the table, including Nagasaki bluefin tuna belly, a selection of three types of blue fish, a selection of three types of squid, and grilled eel. The miso soup was served by the staff from across the counter, and it was flavorful with fish scraps in it. The blue fish included mackerel, horse mackerel, and amberjack, while the squid selection consisted of squid fin, spear squid, and squid battleship. Unlike typical revolving sushi restaurants where sushi comes in sets of two, this restaurant offers sets of three or five pieces of each type, making it easy for solo diners to enjoy a variety of dishes.

The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful. Despite being in a food court, the quality is amazing! Everything I tried was delicious. The squid tempura supervised by Ikataro and the squid nigiri were both sweet and tasty!
