"Today, I visited a local sushi restaurant, Musashi Sushi, for lunch for the second consecutive Sunday. I enjoyed a small bottle of beer to quench my thirst after sweating a lot. Then, I ordered a set of nigiri sushi for 3200 yen, including toro, akami, and other types of sushi. I also requested the chef's recommendation and enjoyed delicious dishes like fresh squid, fatty tuna, and scallops. The sea eel was particularly flavorful, and the seared sea urchin with nori was a delightful treat. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and the food is always satisfying. I also tried lightly vinegared skipjack tuna for the first time and it was delicious. Musashi Sushi is a treasured local sushi restaurant for me."

"Charming Sushi Restaurant Essential for Muromi Town" On July 23, 2023, I visited Musashi Sushi, a sushi restaurant near Muromi Station, for lunch. The previous customers seemed to be returning from a memorial service, while three elegant young ladies who appeared to be regulars were also present. I sat alone at the counter and ordered a nigiri set for around 6200 yen, including medium fatty tuna, squid, sea bream, yellowtail, shrimp, sea urchin, scallop, amberjack, conger eel, and kanpyo roll. The sushi was beautifully presented and delicious, with a refreshing touch of plum flavor in the closing dish of pickled daikon radish. The kanpyo roll was soft and flavorful, with a hint of wasabi. Despite it being my first visit in two years, the young chef remembered me and we chatted briefly. It seems that Musashi Sushi is one of the few remaining local sushi restaurants in Muromi, as many others have closed over time. I hope these neighborhood sushi restaurants continue to thrive. I need to visit more local sushi spots soon!" #MusashiSushi #LocalSushiRestaurant #FukuokaSushi #FukuokaGourmet #MuromiStation #Sushi #Nigiri #Gourmet

Last time, only the owner was there and the head chef was absent. I liked the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant, so I decided to visit again. It's been about 2-3 months, but it seems like they don't remember me. It's a shame. There were two groups of regular customers. It was quite lively for a weekday. I ordered beer and sashimi. The tempo at a sushi restaurant is important, right? I'm not a fan of places that take their time serving sashimi. Next, I ordered grilled fish, and they recommended grilled sardines. I enjoyed the grilled fish while slowly sipping on shochu with water. Finally, I had nigiri sushi. I had a total of 9 pieces and finished with grilled squid and another drink. I might have eaten a bit too much. The bill came out to be 16,800 yen, which is on the expensive side. The cost performance is not the best. As long as the food is delicious, I have no complaints.

I used to drive by this restaurant often, but never had a reason to stop until now. It's a sushi restaurant with a nice atmosphere, featuring a counter and a raised seating area. The second-generation owner is taking a break, so the 73-year-old former owner is behind the counter! Despite being a bit hard of hearing, he skillfully prepared delicious sushi. He mentioned that these traditional sushi restaurants are not as popular nowadays, with conveyor belt sushi being more common. However, this restaurant has a lot of character. Just like the famous restaurant in Kanazawa, Tahei Sushi, the quality of ingredients and skills are crucial in cooking. Popular restaurants these days, including conveyor belt sushi places, often have high-quality ingredients sourced from all over the country. But as a result, many of them lack uniqueness. It's common to be disappointed when the same types of sushi are served everywhere you go. Furthermore, many places struggle to fully utilize the quality of their ingredients. Sushi is meant to be enjoyed not only for the quality of the ingredients but also for the skills of the chef. There are many renowned sushi restaurants across the country that serve sushi unique to their region, which only the head chef can prepare. I believe that local sushi restaurants still have a place in the industry. Regardless of this particular restaurant, I want to show my respect and support to the chef who is over 70 years old and still standing behind the counter. I look forward to trying the sushi made by the young chef next time.

This is a restaurant run by the father of a former classmate, and now his younger brother= junior is behind the counter. The father is still around and his presence is quite impressive. I may be biased as they are family, but the junior has a background of training at the famous Hakata restaurant Kawasho, and his skills are top-notch. Everything I've tried here has been delicious, and they use high-quality ingredients. The seaweed they use is especially good. And the squid nigiri, inherited from Kawasho, is exceptional. I highly recommend paying them a visit.

A sushi restaurant located at a corner of a intersection along Meiji Street, closer to Fujisaki from Muro Station. It seems to be a popular long-established place in the local area, with a stylish Japanese interior. The solid and warm counter and the friendly service make it a welcoming place. After having some hormone dishes for a casual drink, I came across a sushi restaurant on the other side of the street that I remembered from a review by Myレビ. The place looked a bit fancy, but I remember it being more of my style, more like a casual dining spot. There were menu samples displayed outside, giving a friendly impression. I decided to check it out and was greeted warmly by the staff who showed me to the counter. The thick wooden counter, over 15cm thick, was quite appealing. The head chef, dressed in a traditional chef's outfit, seemed quiet at first glance but was actually quite friendly, which put me at ease. I initially planned to just have a few pieces of sushi, but I ended up ordering some sake. I chose the Saga's Manrei cold sake. The staff poured me the first cup. It had a mild aroma, a clean and gentle taste, with a subtle acidity spreading gently from the back of the mouth to the throat. Feeling intrigued by the atmosphere, I decided to have some sashimi. The sea bream with a hint of kelp at the center was delicious, and the thinly sliced horse mackerel had a satisfying texture. The squid sashimi was served with sea urchin and salmon roe, a delightful dish that paired well with the sake. I then got carried away and ordered an assorted sushi plate. The start was the squid, beautifully sliced, with a slightly cool touch to the fish, allowing the sweetness of the rice to shine through. The rice was perfectly cooked, with a nice airy texture and a good balance of flavors. The thickness of the fish matched well with the presence of the rice, creating a harmonious sushi experience. As I continued to enjoy the drinks and sushi, I ended up indulging quite a bit, resulting in a bill of almost 8,000 yen. If I hadn't gotten carried away, I think I could have kept it under 5,000 yen... but oh well, the cozy atmosphere and good food made it worth it. The next day, I quietly nibbled on bread at home.

I often pass by this restaurant and was curious about it. They do not have a lunch menu, so they serve their regular menu during lunchtime. There is a parking space for one car across the road. The customer service during reservation was very pleasant. The interior has counter seats and a raised seating area. The restaurant has been open for 50 years. The sushi ingredients in the showcase look fresh. The restaurant is run by a father and his son who do the cooking. The nigiri sushi set (1800 yen before tax) has a standard shari (sushi rice) taste and slightly larger toppings. The squid is carefully sliced and delicious. The tuna is said to be tasty. The sea bream and shrimp are average. The sea urchin and scallop were lightly seared. The octopus, amberjack, and egg were also included in the set. The chirashi sushi bowl (1500 yen before tax) has similar toppings to the nigiri set, with added kanpyo (dried gourd strips), minced chicken, and shredded omelet on top of the rice. The taste is average, but the cozy atmosphere allows for enjoyable conversations between the customers and the skilled chef. It's a place where customers can have a good time while enjoying their meal. It's also nice that the chef accommodates the customer's preferences rather than serving an omakase menu at night.

I went to a sushi restaurant that is close to my home. They had tatami seating available, so we were seated there. They were very considerate and cut the sushi into smaller pieces for my children to eat easily, which I appreciated. Personally, I had no issues with the freshness of the sushi, and I was very satisfied. They also brought our drinks quickly, which made the sake go down smoothly. The restaurant is facing a main street, and there is a parking lot across the street, so it is convenient to drive there. I highly recommend everyone in the vicinity of Muro Station to give it a try.
