If you’re unsure what to order at a sushi restaurant—or worried about how much it will cost—this fixed-price option may be a good choice.
Japan is known for its excellent seafood, and among its many cities, Kitakyushu stands out as a place renowned for great sushi. There are three main reasons for this.
First, Kitakyushu is geographically blessed with access to three distinct fishing grounds—the Genkai-nada Sea, Suo-nada Sea, and Hibiki-nada Sea—each with different characteristics.Second, the city serves as a central hub for major fishing ports in western Japan, where a wide variety of seafood is available throughout the year. Third, a well-established relay of skill and speed connects the moment fish are landed to their careful handling by wholesalers and fishmongers, and finally to the hands of sushi chefs.
Thanks to these conditions, Kitakyushu has come to be known as “The Sushi Kingdom”, offering a wide range of sushi restaurants from refined establishments to more casual settings.
At the same time, some travelers may feel unsure about how to order at a sushi restaurant or worry about pricing. For those visitors, this fixed-price sushi set offers a convenient option.
