Third meal in less than 2 years. This Tabelog Gold and now GM three star restaurants is certainly a benchmark in Fukuoka and maybe even in Japan.

For me an absolute must when in Fukuoka

Nevertheless, the classical Edo-mae sushi meal with nigiris and tsumami small dishes was great, maybe that is... More
