Zaisho occupies a second-floor counter in Fukuoka's Nishinakasu district, part of the Sakai sushi group that also runs Sakai and Gahoujin. The room seats twelve at a single counter, designed by Shinji Maeda in a modern sukiya style that pairs classical joinery with contemporary lines.
Chef Ryoya Hara, trained in the Sakai lineage, works the counter alongside sommelier Yukako Hirayama, who oversees the restaurant's sake and wine pairings. The single omakase course runs about six seasonal appetizers followed by roughly twelve pieces of nigiri, priced from 22,000 yen including tax; the final amount can shift with the season's ingredients.
Service includes an English menu, and diners can add a sake or wine pairing to the meal. Seating is counter-only, putting guests close to the preparation and within easy conversation with the chef and sommelier through the course.
Zaisho closes on Sundays and Mondays. On other days it runs two to three seatings, typically a midday service in the early afternoon and one or two evening seatings beginning around 18:00 or later. Reservations are handled through the restaurant's online booking page or by phone.
