Washokudou SAI operates in the Haruyoshi district of Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, with a 14-seat layout split between an eight-seat counter and a private room that holds up to six guests. The kitchen works in Edomae sushi and seasonal tempura, with sake pairings drawn mainly from Kyushu producers alongside a small selection of Japanese and natural wines.
Fish for the sushi is sourced from Nagahama fish market, and the rice is made with a blend of two red vinegars. Tempura centers on shrimp and seasonal Itoshima vegetables, fried in a house oil blend. Dishes are plated on Arita ware.
Courses change seasonally. The SAI course runs 9,900 yen tax included, a seasonal course is 13,200 yen and must be booked by the day before, a sushi-focused course and a sake-pairing omakase are each 16,500 yen, and the top seasonal omakase is 19,800 yen and requires three days' notice. A la carte sashimi, grilled dishes, tempura, and sushi rolls are also available.
There is no English menu, so diners who don't read Japanese may want to confirm details by phone in advance. The restaurant accepts credit cards and major e-wallets; it is not cash-only. Lunch service is not offered. The space is a seven-minute walk from Watanabe-dori Station on the Nanakuma subway line or an eleven-minute walk from Nakasu-Kawabata Station on the Airport line, and there is no on-site parking.
