The "Wakatake Maru" restaurant in Dazaifu, which I thought of posting a general review about, is a place where you might end up waiting even if you go around 4 PM on weekends. By 5 PM, you might not even find parking space. The Kasuga store is also extremely crowded, and even though another store has opened, both locations are always packed. This time, I barely made it in on time. The hoya sushi line is always crazy long, so that place seems to be the busiest, but considering the capacity and the crowd, this place feels the busiest. Personally, I find the taste to be equivalent to the Kasuga store, but the cost performance is better here, so I keep coming back. This time, I recommend the deep-fried sandfish. By the way, the Fukutsu store seems to have opened at some point. ■ Scallops This is what I eat 90% of the time in a year (probably). It's clearly delicious, no matter how you look at it, it's definitely from Hokkaido. But they don't really push it. Even though it looks incredibly beautiful, the menu photo doesn't make it look delicious. The range is dangerous. Also, go for salt. It's amazing. ■ Mini salmon and onion salmon The mini salmon is for the kiddo, and the onion salmon is for me. It's completely different in taste compared to other chain conveyor belt sushi restaurants. If you eat this too much, you might find the others have a fishy taste. ■ Squid I thought it was delicious at the Kasuga store, so I ordered it. It might be a bit inferior, but it's still delicious. ■ Salmon toro battleship sushi My recent obsession is this. The difference between conveyor belt sushi battleships and non-conveyor belt sushi restaurants is huge. The battleships at conveyor belt sushi restaurants don't have crispy seaweed. That affects the flavor and umami, but to keep it rotating during peak times, it's a trade-off. However, here they make it after you order, so the seaweed is good! Thanks to this, I question if the standards of non-conveyor belt sushi restaurants are really better than here, as there are some places that don't seem that great. It's really delicious. ■ Sandfish tempura sushi Fukuoka's soul food from a certain tempura restaurant, I haven't been there for years, but this place's tempura quality is probably better. When I first came, the seared sushi and tempura were weak, but they have been greatly improved. And more than the improvement in tempura technique, this sandfish tempura is incredibly delicious. It's so delicious that I end up ordering only tempura as an additional order. ■ Seared salmon Again, salmon. This time it's seared. As mentioned earlier, the seared sushi used to be weak. But now it's clearly showing that it has been seared and left for a while, which is reflected in the taste. Oozushi in Nishitsukuma sears it with a burner just before serving, so the difference in taste was clear, but in recent years, they also sear it just before serving. This eliminates any blind spots. Very strong. ■ Sandfish tempura Tempura sushi is a bit difficult to eat. So, with just the tempura, you can easily have a drink. Seriously, it's less than 1 km from Mizuki Station, so next time I'll use the JR line. Thank you for the meal.

This is a sushi restaurant with a nice atmosphere and a high-class feel to its decor. The staff is very friendly and energetic. They pay attention to details like the soy sauce. The menu has recommended items listed, making it easy to choose. I enjoyed the food very much! (^^)

I went to the revolving sushi restaurant "Taro Sushi" in Kasuga City after a long time, but it had closed down! Feeling quite shocked, but craving sushi, I went to "Wakatake Maru" Dazaifu store nearby. I ordered a Wakatake Maru 5-piece assortment (462 yen), Hokkaido scallop (220 yen), Uni and Ikura (286 yen). The 5-piece assortment included tuna, sea bream, seared salmon, shrimp, and ark shell. Honestly, there wasn't anything that made me want another piece. The flavors were lacking, even the salmon had mayonnaise on it, so I couldn't tell if it was good or not. The soy sauce was disappointingly sweet, and the wasabi portion was too small. The large scallop in the gunkan sushi was disappointing. I had a bad experience at a Wakatake Maru store in Saga before, so my expectations were low. But thankfully, the additional orders of horse mackerel (154 yen), herb-marinated mackerel (209 yen), striped jack (275 yen), and yellowtail belly (187 yen) were delicious. The horse mackerel may not have been fresh, but it had a great flavor. The striped jack, my favorite fish, was tender and tasty. The mackerel had no fishy smell and the yellowtail belly was firm and had a nice, fatty texture. Thanks to the red fish, I left satisfied, but my trust in Wakatake Maru has not fully returned to a high level.

I'm a big fan of Wakatakemaru, but to be honest, this place was just okay. Some dishes were quite delicious, like the sushi which is always good at Wakatakemaru, but overall, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The tai tempura sushi was especially tasty. When it comes to Nakaji-style dishes, it's really delicious. Running a restaurant is tough with tasks like operations and cleaning. That's it for my meal, thank you! 😊

Today I visited here and felt like having sushi, so I chose Wakatake Maru from the sushi street in Dazaifu. It is a sushi restaurant where fresh fish caught in Nagasaki is served. I didn't have to wait as I entered the restaurant right at opening time. As for the sushi, I highly recommend it if you are going to a nearby major sushi restaurant! There is no cheating like in some other stores, and it is not particularly expensive either. You can taste the freshness of the fish as soon as you put it in your mouth. The yellowtail and tuna were delicious. I think I will go again. Thank you for the meal!

Until now, I used to go to the Kasuga store, but since this one opened, I will probably go to the Dazaifu store in the future! My favorite conveyor belt sushi restaurant, Wakatake Maru (*￣∀￣) Even though it's called conveyor belt sushi, the sushi doesn't actually rotate (*'Д'*)ﾉｼ The freshness is good, and although the prices are slightly higher than major conveyor belt sushi restaurants, considering the overall satisfaction, I choose this place without hesitation (〃∀〃)ゞ The mini salmon and tuna sushi are easy to eat and good! It's nice that there are no tough parts or end pieces of tuna that are common in 100 yen sushi (*'3`)ﾉ With just over 1000 yen for a meal at 80% full, even if you're full, you can be satisfied for less than 2000 yen (´・∀・)ﾉ I forgot to take a picture, but the miso soup was delicious (*´ー｀)ﾉ

I went there right away after seeing the review from a follower. The location is at a corner of Route 5, which is not the best location, especially for entering and exiting with a car. When I arrived after 2 pm, there were few customers, but the counter seats were full so I was seated at a table even though I was alone. You order using a touch panel, and the sushi does not rotate on a conveyor belt. When you order, a shinkansen train delivers the sushi to your table. The sushi is fresh and firm, you can tell it was prepared recently. Every piece was so fresh that my jaw started to get tired (laughs). I want to visit again with my partner next time.

"Sushi Wakatake Maru". I have visited the store in Kasuga City many times, but this time I visited the store that opened in Dazaifu City at the end of last year. I originally had a good impression of it being a "cheap and delicious sushi restaurant", but I was surprised at how inexpensive it was this time. I ordered a total of 10 items using a tablet without worrying about the price, and except for the Hokkaido scallops (253 yen), all the sushi toppings were below 200 yen. Honestly, the three types of shrimp sashimi (165 yen), whelk (132 yen), and ark shell (198 yen) lacked flavor, and I thought "Sushiro" was better, but the delicious toppings here made me forget all about that. The Hirazuri (154 yen per piece) had large slices with a crunchy texture and a rich flavor. The recommended Hiramasu from Nagasaki Prefecture in January (187 yen) had an incredibly firm texture and a rich taste. The herb-marinated mackerel (198 yen) had a soft texture, and when you put it in your mouth, the fat melted, creating a wonderful texture. I got a little excited there. However, it has only been open for less than a month, so there were many points of dissatisfaction. 1) There was an air pocket in the hot water spout, and when I pulled the lever, it lightly exploded, scattering tea powder from the teacup. 2) The vinegar rice had uneven texture, and the first plate was slightly soft and sticky, which was disappointing. 3) When I ordered an item that was supposed to be served without wasabi, it actually had wasabi. Since I couldn't add more wasabi on top of what was already there, I had to check for wasabi every time I ordered something later. 4) The prices of the sushi toppings on the tablet were displayed in both tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive, making it difficult to understand. 5) Unlike the Kasuga store, the plates were made of pottery, but they were all different shapes, making it difficult to stack. The staff didn't come to take the plates until there were five in a row. 6) It's understandable because it's in Kyushu, but personally, I was disappointed that there was only a mellow soy sauce for sashimi. I would be happy if they also provided a spicy soy sauce. 7) When I paid with PayPay, the staff was slow, making me wait for over 3 minutes. Looking back, I'm impressed with how I didn't get angry with so many issues. Still, I was satisfied thanks to the delicious Hiramasu (Hirasu) and mackerel. And the bill was only 1,749 yen, which is quite cheap. I think most of the issues will be improved next time, so I can recommend it."

Around 12:20 on New Year's Eve, I stopped by this newly opened restaurant on December 20th. There were two security guards in the parking lot who directed me to an open space. The inside of the restaurant was quite spacious, but as expected, it was full with a wait of 6 groups. It seemed to be a time when customers were leaving one after another, and after about 10 minutes, it was our turn. Everything from issuing the ticket to guiding us to our seats was done by a machine. We were directed to our designated seats and ordered through a terminal. Since it was all order-based, there were no plates circulating around. I placed various orders on the terminal, but it seemed busy as it took over 10 minutes for the first plate to arrive. It was written that there were two lanes, upper and lower, but I couldn't see the lower lane. Then, when a certain plate arrived, a door that looked like a sliding screen opened and sushi appeared. So there really was a lower lane. As for the sushi itself, it was simply delicious.

Located in Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture, this conveyor belt sushi restaurant has 14 locations throughout the prefecture. While the freshness of the fish is praised, some customers have noticed that the portions have become smaller. Despite this, the restaurant remains popular among locals. Recently, a second location opened in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, but it seems to be struggling to attract customers like the original locations. The reviewer decided to visit the new location and was impressed with the quality of the fish and the overall experience. They recommend trying the restaurant, especially for the delicious and fresh sardine sushi.

This is a fast-food style sushi restaurant located along the Fukuoka Chikushino prefectural road. I thought it was a revolving sushi place, but the sushi did not rotate around the restaurant. You order using a touch panel, and the sushi you ordered arrives at your table using a lane system, making it a completely order-based system. The finished sushi is delivered using two lanes, one above and one below. The seared eel for 220 yen was brought to me on the upper lane. The mini tuna sushi for 143 yen, the shrimp assortment for 165 yen, and the egg sushi for 110 yen all arrived on the same plate from the lower table. Finally, the sea urchin and salmon roe battleship roll for 231 yen was brought to me on the upper lane, concluding my sushi lunch for the day. With this system, you can enjoy fresh sushi at any time, which is great. The restaurant is located at the Aobadai entrance intersection.

It's like a conveyor belt sushi place, but with reasonable prices and fresh, large pieces of sushi. Sorry, the photo is not of sushi. The tantanmen noodles are also delicious.

I took it home.

Oh my, I've arrived. The sushi is delicious. Served freshly made. Prices are like a conveyor belt sushi. The crab miso soup and the fish head miso soup are excellent. A sushi restaurant that I don't want many people to know about.

Fresh and delicious ingredients! Great value for money, excellent taste!

On this day, my wife brought home a mixed sushi platter from Wakatake Maru. It included 10 pieces of maguro, ika, ebi, toro salmon, tai, hirasu, aji, amaebi, hotate, and uni, enough for two people. Thank you for the delicious meal.
