Sushi Yoshida has operated in Fukui for more than fifty years, now run by its third-generation owner who continues the techniques established by the restaurant's founder and the hospitality approach carried on by the second generation. The restaurant is built around a counter where guests watch the sushi being prepared, with a private room also available for parties who prefer it.

The kitchen draws on seafood and mountain produce from the Fukui region, prepared in a style the restaurant describes as simple and refined. Its signature ingredient is Echizen crab, which the restaurant presents as a dish unavailable elsewhere in the same form. Lunch service runs from 11:30 to 13:00, and dinner service from 17:00 to 22:00, Monday through Saturday; the restaurant is closed on Sundays, with holiday exceptions extending the closure when a Sunday and public holiday fall together.

The restaurant has a long-standing reputation among regional and out-of-town visitors, including a recorded visit by the writer Ryotaro Shiba, who wrote favorably of both the food and the hospitality during a trip to Fukui. It is classified in the luxury price tier, with counter seating as the core experience and a private room offered as an alternative.

Reservations and further details on pricing can be confirmed directly through the restaurant's phone line or website, as exact menu costs are not published.
