Sushi Ginmeisui Hakata sits on the second floor of a building in Hakata Ekimae, a short walk from Hakata Station's Hakata exit, inside what appears to be the Hotel Nikko Fukuoka premises. The restaurant seats just 10 guests, all at a single sushi counter, and does not offer a private room.
The omakase runs 11 courses. Dinner is priced at ¥19,800 per person, while a lighter lunch omakase is available for ¥9,900. Seating is booked in roughly 90-minute sittings, and the restaurant is open daily for both lunch (11:30–15:00) and dinner (17:00–21:30) service.
An English menu is available, which makes the reservation and ordering process more accessible for non-Japanese speakers, though the venue is not listed in the Michelin Guide. Dress code is smart casual, and the restaurant accepts credit cards rather than operating cash-only. Same-day reservations are listed as possible, though booking ahead is generally advisable for counter seating at a sushi restaurant of this size.
Reservations can be made through Hotpepper's online booking page or by calling the restaurant directly. Given the counter-only format and limited seating, walk-ins are unlikely to be accommodated during peak lunch or dinner hours, particularly on weekends.
