Dinner at Gyoten (鮨 行天)

The baked shirako was also a highlight as it was baked so the outside became a nice crust which added a texture element to it.
Is this one of the best suhsiya in Japan, as it is one of two 3 star sushi restaurants in Japan, I don’t know, but it was definitely worth a visit. Less

Lunch at Gyoten (鮨 行天)

3-Star sushi place in Fukuoka. The young Chef is know for his attitude and somewhat disrespect for the tradition.
The cooked part of the meal was definitely subpar but the sushi excellent.
