In search of a delicious lunch, we visited "Uomasa" in Kurume City. It was our second visit, arriving at 11:20 am on a Saturday with two people. Despite arriving 10 minutes before opening, the restaurant was already open and all seats were taken except for the counter seats. It seems that you need a reservation to enter the private rooms. We were seated at the counter and ordered the Uomasa set meal for 1,320 yen including tax. Even after being seated, many customers continued to arrive, and the staff politely informed those without reservations that the restaurant was full. For the main fish dish, you could choose between simmered or fried, and we chose fried. Soon, we were served with three small side dishes - some kind of egg, tofu, and mozuku vinegar. The sashimi platter included sea bream, amberjack, and tuna, all fresh and delicious. Then, we received rice, sea bream soup, and tempura. The fried dish was sand borer tempura, crispy and freshly fried. The rice was topped with plenty of mentaiko, increasing our appetite. Lastly, we enjoyed homemade pudding and coffee. With all these dishes for 1,320 yen, what a great value for a delicious lunch. Thank you for the meal. We will definitely visit again.

I visited for lunch on May 2nd (Tuesday) before 12 pm and the parking lot was full. I ordered the Special Chirashi Bowl Set for 2,200 yen, which included squid, red snapper, yellowtail, salmon, tuna, and a large shrimp. The menu stated that it also came with sea urchin and spicy cod roe, but they were not included. Because there were not additional toppings to make up for it, I am giving a negative review. The set also came with three side dishes, a pudding dessert, and coffee. The energetic chef worked efficiently. Thank you for the meal.

The sesame sauce seafood bowl made with fish from Kyushu is delicious, so I was looking forward to eating it again by becoming friends with the LINE app. When I received a message that they would be setting up a booth at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi this time, I went there right away. There were four types of seafood bowls and seafood ochazuke available this time, but I like sesame sauce, so I ordered the "Uomasa Tsukedon (Sesame Sauce)" for 1650 yen. It had tuna, salmon, sea bream, salmon roe, abalone, and white fish topped with sesame sauce, which was delicious. The side dishes of salmon, grilled dried pollack roe, jellyfish vinegar, and dried seaweed were also tasty. I also bought a frozen seafood bowl on my way back.

The owner had a day off on Friday and finally had the chance to visit the restaurant around 11:40 am. However, it was full and they were asked to come back around 1 pm. They had tried the sashimi bowl before during a memorial service and were satisfied with the delicious food. It seems like the restaurant is popular as it was recommended by a friend. They visited at 1 pm and ordered the "Fish Politics Set Meal" for 1,100 yen. The meal included a choice between simmered and fried fish, three small side dishes (croquette, smooth tofu, seaweed vinegar), a sashimi platter, two types of fish dishes (simmered sea bream and crispy sand borer tempura), rice with plenty of spicy cod roe, a soup (delicious sea bream head soup), and a homemade pudding dessert. They also mentioned that the restaurant offers "Deco Sushi" which seems interesting. Overall, they were very satisfied with the meal and even wished they could have tried the takeout option from the neighboring shop. It was a delightful dining experience.

I visited this restaurant a few times after seeing it on a TV show in the past, but the parking lot was always full... Today, on my fourth attempt, I finally succeeded in entering the restaurant (laughs). The place is bustling with customers looking for lunch. Of course, I came for the "Uozushi Teishoku"! Watching around, it seems like almost everyone is ordering the same thing (laughs). After a 10-minute wait, it finally arrives. Unbelievable... the portion size, taste, and the price of 1100 yen! The main simmered dish is amazing. The broth is thick but not too sweet, with depth that perfectly complements the rice. It comes with a bowl of rice topped with mentaiko, which is just fantastic. This time it was a red snapper simmered dish, and the flavorful and tender meat... that's why the price of 1100 yen is just too good. By the way, the mentaiko on top of the rice is a nice touch... this place is seriously the best. Thank you for the meal.

I had the Fish Sei lunch at Uozeki-san. For the main dish, I chose tempura from boiled fish and tempura options, and today's special was tempura of fresh kiss fish. The sashimi included bonito, sea bream, and yellowtail, all very fresh and delicious as expected from a fishmonger's establishment. The meal also came with pudding and iced coffee for only 1100 yen, which was very affordable. I recommend making a reservation before visiting.

I arrived at the restaurant right after it opened, but it was already full. Today, I had the Fish Politics set meal again. The red snapper soup here is really delicious! Was it not there last time? Was it forgotten? The seasoning was also delicious!! It had a fluffy texture. If you are going with multiple people, you should definitely make a reservation. If you are alone, you can probably squeeze in at the counter haha.

I had always been curious about this place, but I never had the chance to visit because the parking lot was always full. This time, I made sure to arrive almost right when they opened. There were already two groups ahead of me. "Do you have a reservation?" Ah, so you can make reservations here. I hadn't made one, but I managed to secure a seat at the counter. Everyone who came seemed to have made a reservation, haha. The food was really good! It's no surprise coming from a seafood restaurant. I was completely satisfied and will definitely be back soon!

(2019.09.22) I made a reservation at "Uozasa" which is known for serving delicious fish dishes, including bento boxes. With a typhoon approaching, I wanted to confirm their business hours and make a reservation. I was surprised to find that the small shop had a full parking lot, but the staff informed me that they have a contract with a nearby parking lot. Inside, there was a counter for 6 people and 4 tables for 4 people each. I chose a table and ordered the "Uozasa Sashimi Double Set" which included a variety of fresh sashimi and a main dish of simmered fish. The sashimi was generous and delicious, with a mix of fish including mackerel, sea bream, tuna, salmon, and octopus. The service was efficient and friendly, confirming why this restaurant is so popular.

Location: Tsufukumoto-cho, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture I had some business in this area, so I researched in advance the day before to have lunch at this restaurant. I arrived at 11:15 am on a weekday, which was a 27-kilometer one-way distance. I had found out that the restaurant opens at 11:30 am, but when I peeked inside, the curtain was already out, and it was hot outside, so I was asked to wait inside. I sat at the counter where I saw two male chefs and two female staff members working. The chefs were in the middle of preparations, so I was asked to wait a little longer until the opening. I wanted to try the sushi set meal for 1500 yen, but I only had around 1700 yen on me that day, so I decided to go for the seafood bowl set meal for 1300 yen. When I asked if I could have white rice, they said it was no problem. I received complimentary cold tea and a warm towel while waiting for my order. When the opening time arrived, more customers started to come in. I was called by name and guided to my seat. The food was served in about 8 minutes, presented in a large bowl. It had a generous serving of rice topped with shredded seaweed, a large leaf of shiso, slices of yellowtail, sea bream, scallops, tuna, and salmon, a raw sweet shrimp, and salmon roe. The presentation was decent with a sweet soy sauce drizzled over it mixed with powdered wasabi. The sashimi was fresh and of high quality, as expected from a restaurant owned by Horie Sengyo, a Fukuoka fish market wholesaler. The texture of the yellowtail and sea bream was exceptional, indicating the freshness of the fish. I especially enjoyed the medium fatty tuna. The only downside was the thin soy sauce, so I added some regular soy sauce to enhance the flavor. The meal also came with a small dish of fried horse mackerel, a side dish of ketchup-marinated bitter melon and shimeji mushrooms, and mozuku seaweed vinegar. The soup was filled with tofu, shiitake mushrooms, onions, and seaweed. For the price of 1300 yen, it was a great value. However, I honestly wished I could have tried the yellowtail sushi set meal with such high-quality fish being used. It was a bit tough not having enough money. Overall, I left the restaurant feeling satisfied, thanks to the pleasant staff and their excellent service.

It's been 10 years since I last visited this place in Tsufukumoto-cho, Kurume City. It was my first time posting on Tabelog. When I checked the blackboard before leaving, I noticed that the counter was crowded with customers at 1 pm. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was lively, with tables in the back and a variety of menu options for lunch and dinner. I ordered the lunch set, which included a side dish of macaroni salad with lotus root, jellyfish, and pickles. The sashimi platter consisted of three types of fish, including a deliciously crispy sea bream. The double set meal for 1500 yen also included a generous portion of two large fried smelt, sweetened simmered sea bream head, half a croquette, miso soup with fish scraps, and rice topped with salmon roe. The fried chicken set for 1100 yen came with four crispy pieces of juicy fried chicken. For dessert, there was a bavarois available for women, while men had the option of coffee only. Overall, the food was rated 33/50 for taste, 15/20 for cost performance, 13/20 for atmosphere, and 7/10 for service, resulting in a total revisit score of 68/100. The restaurant's contact information is as follows: 1719-909 Tsufukumoto-cho, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, 942-38-4688.

We made a reservation for 7 people at 6:00 pm on a holiday. We were a bit late for the reservation time and had only ordered 2 servings of chicken karaage in advance. After we arrived, we ordered 3 draft beers, 4 pork belly skewers, sushi, dried squid, Caesar salad, seafood bowl, tempura set meal, and Gotou udon, which was a bit less considering the number of people. Actually, 4 out of the 7 of us had already eaten at a crab buffet for lunch, so we were a bit reserved. I wanted to try sashimi and simmered fish, but my full stomach and dry throat could only handle beer. The karaage had a unique seasoning with a mild taste and not too much garlic. That's when the drinking switch turned on, and we enjoyed the pork belly skewers with a premium sake. We also ordered grilled eggplant as a side dish and had 2 glasses of sweet potato shochu with hot water, sticking to our usual pace. We finished with the dried squid as a closer. I'm sorry, but that's where we stopped. I wish I could have enjoyed more fish...

It's been a while since I had sushi at Gyomasa. I really wanted to eat fish, and it was delicious. ^_^

I've never had seafood this delicious and beautiful before! And the cost performance is great! I will definitely come back again!

It's my day off today. Yesterday, I had a disappointing mackerel simmered dish in Fukuoka (considering the price), so this time I'm trying a highly rated fish restaurant in Kurume. The restaurant is called "Gyosei" and it is located along the prefectural road leading from Kurume to Yanagawa, known as the Yanaken Line. It's around halfway between Tsufuku and Yasutake. I knew the location of the restaurant beforehand, but the narrow parking lot in front of it made me skip it. However, this time I decided to visit. I arrived at 11:25 am and there were three parking spaces in front of the restaurant. Luckily, I managed to park by backing into a spot due to a momentary decrease in passing cars. While parking, I could see people entering the restaurant through the mirror. When I entered the restaurant, I was informed that they were opening in 5 minutes and asked to wait in my car. While waiting in front of the restaurant for the opening, I found a sign indicating additional parking spaces on the north side, but it might be difficult to find if you're not aware of it. More cars kept arriving as I waited. It's a super popular restaurant! The restaurant opened right on time. Priority was given to customers with reservations, and there were quite a few despite it being a weekday. After the reservations were taken care of, I informed them that I was visiting alone and was seated at the counter right by the entrance. I ordered the "Gyosei set meal (1,100 yen, excluding tax)" from the lunch menu. For the main fish dish, I could choose between simmered fish or fried fish. When I asked for more details, I was told that today's options were "simmered sea bream" or "fried mackerel". First, a tray with three small side dishes and three types of sashimi was served. The side dishes included simmered burdock, lotus root, and shiitake mushrooms, mozuku topped with sea bream milt, and tempura of yellowtail? All of them were of a quality that could pass as individual dishes in a small restaurant. With the sashimi included, I felt like I would be happy with a warm sake. It's a shame I came by car. Then the main dishes, "simmered sea bream" and "rice and miso soup," arrived. The volume was too much to fit on the tray from earlier, so they placed it next to me. The counter seats five, but considering the size of the people sitting and the volume of the dishes served, four people would be the limit. There were also customers waiting, but I appreciated the restaurant's policy of not overcrowding. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy my meal without feeling cramped. After confirming that I could only have one serving of rice but could get a refill, I started eating the "simmered sea bream." It was a large sea bream with plump flesh and a sauce with just the right viscosity. It was delicious! I quickly finished my rice too. Then, for the first serving of rice, mentaiko was added as a topping. The miso soup contained large sea bream heads. Lastly, coffee and dessert were served. For the deliciousness, volume, and service, 1,210 yen was a great deal. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the meal.

I had the 41st anniversary course. I forgot to take a picture of the crispy shrimp with chili sauce and the sherbet. The price, including tax and all-you-can-drink, is too cheap!

The restaurant I went to had good service and food, but it was disappointing.

Repeatedly ordering the sashimi assortment is also a good choice.

Delicious! The boiled fish is amazing! The rice comes with spicy cod roe on top. The sashimi is also delicious. ^_^
