Kappo Sushi Hanaaza — Restaurant in Fukuoka

Went for a lunch Omakase course(booked in advanced). Even tho it was quite far away from my accommodation, I really wanted to try not only reviews looked great but also rather than waiting long time in popular sushi shop in Hakata station.

Interior wise, it was really neat and fancy, however it seemed staff didn’t plan where to assign one person for seating. I’ve got a counter seat in front of beautiful salt decoration however chefs seemed not happy and confused why am I occupying this seat. Eventually moved to end of counter seat which I got uncomfortable feeling as well despite not even started the course. But staff were kind.

Move onto the food part, entree, sushi courses, and dessert were fabulous. Sushi chef tried to explain in Korean as much as he could and sushi itself had good enough amount of rice, nice tare soy on top, and good quality of fish fillets were served. Dessert was almond pudding and it was delicious that I’ve never tried before.

Worth to visit if your accommodation is not too far and looking for quiet, neat and good...

Solid swanky sushi spot. Had a great time learning about the foods in our omakase with the young head chef/owner (and all the food names in DBZ lmao). Sake and wine selection was delicious. We were able to try a wine from Kumamoto that was not on the menu. A standout dish was the Korean saba (chosen for being oilier and denser compared to its Japanese counterpart) smoked with Japanese walnut, as well as the use of aged Chinese vinegar for the sushi rice (made to complement the firmer fish style used in Fukuoka). I enjoyed the well thought out dishes...

Come here with no reservation with my family as we were just strolling around and they managed to find a quiet table for us, well, what a surprise!!! Went for the course menu (the "ume" I guess) and it was superb. Presentation was great, they tried their best to explain everything in English, fish was first class, atmosphere was quiet and cozy, all was really top notch. Great value. Thanks everyone for the...
