About ¥40,000 pp

Address

A single counter on the second floor of a Nishi-Nakasu building, and one omakase menu: seasonal small plates, then nigiri in sequence. Local Fukuoka seafood is prepared in Edomae style and the rice is pressed slightly warm. Chef Sakai is said to banter easily with guests. It has held Michelin stars, so getting a seat is the real hurdle.
