Although located quite a drive away from the main Hakata area in Fukuoka, Sushi Osamu is a foreigner-friendly sushi ya that serves Hakata-style sushi where condiments play a big role in elevating the overall taste of different sushi neta (toppings). Out of the many restaurants that I went to in Fukuoka, Osamu-san is definitely the most friendly and entertaining sushi chef. Let's have a look at the pictures of my meal shall we:
 |
| Assorted Seafood salad |
 |
| Kawahagi in liver sauce |
 |
| Whale (Kujira) Bacon |
 |
| Ankimo (Monkfish liver) |
 |
| Sea Urchin (Uni) |
 |
| Chawanmushi |
 |
| Japanese whiting (Kisu) |
 |
| Puffer Fish (Fugu) |
 |
| Black trout (Nodoguro / akamutsu) |
 |
| Squid (Ika) |
 |
| Marinated Maguro (Akami Zuke) |
 |
| Medium Fatty Tuna (Chu Toro) |
 |
| Horse Mackerel (Aji) |
 |
| Gizzard Shad (Kohada) |
 |
| Prawn marinated in Karako |
 |
| Conger Eel (Anago) |
 |
| Osamu's special maki - Fatty Tuna, Akami, Medium fatty Tuna, minced fatty tuna, sea grapes all in! |
 |
| Osamu's special beancurd skin (Inari) |
 |
| Citrus fruit jelly dessert |
I know that some photos make seem very ordinary but trust me, there's a lot of things done underneath the sushi neta; you can even see some of it in some pictures. Needless to say, it was a damn good dinner. Osamu-san can also speak some English and is willing to the go the extra mile to make his customers happy by telling jokes and performing "oishii maho" (delicious magic); or at least that's what he did for me and my family. Price-performance wise, I think it's reasonable because whatever you see here cost around 15000 yen, which is about right for such a sushi ya and considering he did serve us rather expensive items like Monkfish liver and whale bacon. I would very much like to come back and eat here again in the near future.
