福鮨 Kashiwa

Fukuzushi (福鮨) in Kashiwa, Chiba, is a renowned Edomae sushi restaurant with over 45 years of history. Known for its meticulous craftsmanship, it sources fresh seafood from Toyosu Market, particularly natural (non-frozen, non-farmed) tuna. The seasonal menu highlights the finest fish of each period, served with perfectly balanced shari (sushi rice).

I loved the ingredients, which were of exceptional quality. The shari was on the neutral side, with low acidity and an al dente texture, complementing the fish without overpowering it. The head chef, dedicated to traditional techniques, prioritizes natural flavors, precise temperature control, and thoughtful service timing.

Overall, Fukuzushi is a very good sushi restaurant, a bit far from the center but worth visiting when in the area. With its warm hospitality, refined atmosphere, and excellent sushi, it’s a solid recommendation for those looking for authentic Edomae sushi outside of Tokyo. Less
