Fuku Sushi — Restaurant in Shakotan

If you have a car, drive to this little family run sushi restaurant, not far from Cape Ogon.

The chef prepares the sushi fresh in front of you. You can sit at the sushi bar or at tables (but you have to sit on the floor, traditional Japanese style).

The portions are generous and tasty. The fatty tuna was really good, so was the salmon, crab, prawn, abalone, and a few others that I can't remember and the conger eel hosomaki. My wife and I shared the 10 piece special sushi (¥3500) and the conger eel hosomaki. It comes with tea and a nice clear mushroom soup. Generally prices are reasonable.

They do have an English menu, if you prefer old school, instead of using Google Translate.

That was service way above and beyond. Super nice of him.

I do recommend this little shop for...

This is your quintessential countryside sushi restaurant. Staff were a little nervous around me and my foreignness but felt much more talkative once I got the conversation rolling.

The location is super convenient, as it is located by the traffic light. They have: an English menu, counter and tatami mat low-tables (no western-style tables), non-sushi foods and alcohol.

They are open for lunch.

I'm told this place gets super busy during sea urchin season in the summer, but it was empty during my lunch visit late winter.

All in all, I'll...
