Yoshitomi Zushi sits on Maizuru-dori in Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, behind a counter made from a single plank of wood. There is no printed menu; every seating is an omakase of roughly a dozen or more nigiri built from local fish, some aged or cured for several days before service.
The restaurant opened in 1979 and has passed from its founding chef to a second-generation owner, who continues to prepare the sushi by hand. Seating is counter-only, and both lunch and dinner omakase are offered six days a week, with lunch service from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 18:00 to 21:30. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays.
Reservations are required and the restaurant is not listed in the Michelin guide. Yoshitomi Zushi sits in the luxury price tier, consistent with a counter-only, reservation-only omakase format. Booking is handled directly, either by phone or through a direct message on Instagram; there is no online booking system.
The address is 3-chōme-6-23 Maizuru, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, 810-0073. Given the counter format and omakase-only structure, parties should confirm seat availability and any dietary restrictions directly with the restaurant when booking.
