Transportation and Space | A Japanese Aesthetic Space Hidden in Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City (3-minute walk from Tenjin Akasaka)

Walking into the modern building located at "Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City", I felt a sense of anticipation. The Daimyo area has always been a battleground for trendy young brands and quality cuisine, but in this hidden upscale sushi restaurant, one can find a serene Japanese aesthetic space amidst the hustle and bustle. The entire restaurant perfectly blends traditional Japanese wooden textures with a modern sleek style, and the warm yellow lighting creates a harmonious atmosphere. It embodies the solemnity and meticulousness of a high-end sushi restaurant, thanks to the friendly and warm smiles of the sushi chefs. Even foreign tourists experiencing sushi for the first time at the chef's counter can relax and fully enjoy the experience without any overwhelming pressure. Visitors from afar can immediately feel a sense of relaxation upon stepping inside.
This time, I specifically made a reservation for their highly representative "Chef's Selected Set Menu." Throughout the entire experience, I must say that this is not just a meal, but rather a carefully curated journey of flavors. The sushi chef arranged each dish in rhythm, truly showcasing the peak of seasonal ingredients, while also layering the nuances of each sushi piece between light and rich flavors.

As soon as we sat down, they first asked us what drinks we would like. Of course, beer and sake are the best pairings! But they also offer non-alcoholic beverages.

Soulful Delicacies | The Perfect Collision of Carefully Selected Aged Red Vinegar Rice and Ultimate Seasonal Fresh Fish

When the first piece of sushi was served, I immediately noticed that their vinegared rice had a faint reddish-brown color. The chef kindly explained that this was because they specially used "red vinegar" that had been aged for a long time for seasoning. Compared to the sharp acidity of regular white vinegar, red vinegar has a deeper aroma, infusing the rice with a hint of sweetness, roundness, and a rich umami base. The distinct grains of rice and slightly warm texture perfectly highlight the aroma of the fish without overshadowing it, instead serving as the strongest support that quietly upholds the soul of the entire sushi.

19 Ultimate Feast|From Clam Essence to Melt-in-your-mouth Bluefin Tuna, Explosive Salmon Roe Unboxing Test

The first to appear is a cup of clam soup with the essence of tea: the prologue, revealed by a seemingly simple yet thoughtfully crafted clam essence soup. The steaming tea cup held in hand spreads warmth from the palm, and the rich, sweet essence of clams bursts in the mouth, also warming the stomach.
Flounder: As an opening dish, the meat is translucent and has excellent elasticity, refreshing the taste buds.
The "Mozuku Vinegar" elegantly presented in a delicate small bowl: The smooth and silky Mozuku has absorbed the perfectly balanced sweet vinegar. With one sip, the slightly sour and sweet aroma of vinegar instantly spreads in the mouth, with a delicate, warm texture and a hint of stickiness.
The marinated enoki mushrooms: This is the first time I've had enoki mushroom sushi with such a texture. The salty-sweet and delicate flavor is quite special.
Bonito: The bonito is lightly seared, with a charming smoky aroma on the surface, and the sliced sashimi is truly delicious.
Sardine: Completely free of fishy smell, the rich oil melts in the mouth, showcasing the unique freshness of blue fish.

Abalone: The chef took out the abalone that we were going to use today. The two super large abalones are really beautiful, and then he started to slice them. The abalone was stewed to be extremely tender, with a rich flavor from the sea and a hint of sweetness. Each slice of the abalone is delicious.
Eggplant: Surprisingly, seasonal eggplant dishes, after special seasoning and cooking, are juicy and have a unique sweetness, perfectly paired with vinegared rice, rivaling the seafood main dish.
Salmon Roe: The chef directly places the red vinegar sushi rice into a small dish and brings it to the customer's eyes, then sprinkles a generous amount of salmon roe on top of the vinegared rice. Taking a bite, the salty aroma of the salmon roe bursts in the mouth, leaving nothing but emotion!
Bluefin Tuna: It is definitely one of the highlights of the entire chef's selected course! The delicate marbling melts instantly upon touching the tongue, and the sour aroma of the red vinegar rice perfectly balances the rich fat, making one unable to resist savoring it.

Chawanmushi: The chawanmushi topped with finely chopped green onions has a refreshing taste of dashi in every bite, with a delicate flavor. This seemingly ordinary chawanmushi presents an exquisite feeling as soon as it is served. When you gently scoop a bite, the texture is tender like silk, so smooth that it seems to melt on your tongue. The soul of the chawanmushi is completely locked in the rich and clear dashi, with no excessive seasoning; each bite is the pure sweetness of the dashi itself. The cooking is perfectly controlled, and the soft, creamy texture gradually spreads in the mouth.
Tofu: A type of yuba made from layers of finely crafted tofu skin, allowing you to taste the original flavor of soybeans, which is very rich and special. You must give it a try.
Salmon: Super large salmon slices made into salmon sushi by the skill of sushi chefs, lightly brushed with soy sauce, allowing the sweetness of the salmon to be tasted, especially the special red vinegar sushi rice highlights the deliciousness of the salmon.
Clam Miso Soup: Right after drinking a bowl of hearty and rich clam miso soup, the whole person feels warmly enveloped from the stomach to the soul. The chef even specifically said, "You don't have to finish it all! After all, there are over 80 clams in it, so you probably can't finish it." Hearing this feels too exaggerated and also too abundant, right?
Eel Sushi: Soft and dense eel brushed with special sauce, topped with a hint of sansho powder. The thick and large pieces of eel melt in your mouth, and the grilled eel has a particularly fragrant taste. The eel sushi here is truly exquisite.
Tuna Tartare Hand Roll: The chef on site wraps red vinegar rice and tuna tartare, along with some minced onions, in freshly roasted seaweed, rolling it into a hand roll. Biting into it immediately reveals the crispness of the seaweed, perfectly complemented by the tuna tartare and red vinegar rice, with the crunchy sweetness of the onions blending into the hand roll, merging with the tuna tartare to create a sweet flavor that is moving with every bite.
Tamago-yaki: A thick and solidly cooked tamago-yaki, with a slightly charred golden surface, allowing you to feel the plump and tender texture of the egg. The taste when you bite into it is the sweet flavor of Kyushu's tamago-yaki, sweet but not cloying, warm and soft.
Kanpyo Roll: It may seem simple and unadorned, but it best showcases the true skill of the sushi chef. The kanpyo, which has been carefully simmered for a long time, is perfectly seasoned, and when bitten into, it is tender with a slight chewiness.
Fruit (Grapes) The meal ends with two plump, juicy grapes with extremely high sweetness, providing a perfect ending that refreshes and cleanses the palate, leaving one wanting more.
