Sushi Kuma serves an Edomae omakase in the Daimyō area of Chuo Ward, Fukuoka. The chef trained for many years at Tenshaku, a sushi and washoku restaurant in Nishinakasu, before opening this shop. Seating is counter-style, with a private room also available, and sake pairings draw exclusively from breweries across Kyushu.
The kitchen sources fish through daily market visits and builds the course around seasonal availability. Rice comes from Hinohikari grown in Taketa, Oita, and vegetables from Itoshima, Fukuoka — part of a broader commitment to Kyushu-grown ingredients across the menu.
The restaurant is open for dinner service Monday, and Wednesday through Saturday, from 18:00 to 22:00, and closed Tuesday and Sunday. It sits on a quiet side street in Daimyō, a district known for restaurants set back from the main roads.
Reservations can be made by phone at 092-737-9090 or through the restaurant's website. Given the counter and private room format, advance booking is recommended.
