Itookashi — Restaurant in Fukuoka

Food is not bad but salty for my taste. Sashimi fresh but they should start to have English menu and also train their staff to speak abit of English because when we tried to ask them what fish or ingredients they served, they are unable to explain. Saw other review that they have Korean menu I’m thinking why not English as well..Hahah. If they can even add picture to the menu to illustrate what they selling will be good too. But overall for dinner the price at the high range.. btw they also serve their own people first when we ordered the food first for the same dish. So I not sure why tourist are treated like this. This is the first time I come Japan we are treated this way. I guess they have to improve their service...

I’m not one to shy away from beer in the morning and, indeed, we had a nice craft beer at the ripe time of 7:30 AM.

We left pleased. A great way to...

We were the third in line this morning at 6:55am (they open at 7:00am). There were quite a few locals rushing in after us and the restaurant was bustling in no time. After being seated at the bar with a great view of the open kitchen, we were offered an English menu and chose Itookashi Special and the Seafood Bowl for the two of us. The food was freshly prepared and came quickly. Both sets looked very elegant and our waiter gave us instructions on how to mix some of the ingredients (e.g., soy sauce with raw egg is to be mixed and poured over the bowl of rice). This was a satisfying second...
