in fukuoka, japan (aug’24)

another sushiya i enjoyed a lot in fukuoka was kikuzushi. a slight distance away from the city, its located in a secluded residential district inside a beautiful traditional house. seguchi san was extremely friendly, even towards foreigners with good english knowledge as he worked overseas in monaco for a part of his career.

there was ample amounts of staff here helping and supporting the back kitchen, but assembly of tsumami and all preparations & cutting of netas were done by seguchi san himself. tsumami were simple but powerful, nigiri was more on the milder end of flavours with its delicate shari. some pieces i particularly enjoyed were the hamaguri, aji, hamo and tachiuo with nori shoyu nigiri.

considering how economical this lunch was, no longer they have such a long waitlist in reservations, mostly filled with extremely friendly regulars from around the area. definitely a great lunch spot when around kyushu.
