Tenzushi Kyomachi

This is one of the great sushi temples. It's Kyushu style sushi, distinct from Edomae sushi which most are familiar with. The cuisine is sublime - this is a serious contender for best sushi ever! The atmosphere is friendly - the only one who spoke English was the chef! So it was the unusual situation where he had to translate between me and his staff. It's tough to book but it's worth the effort. There is no alcohol served here. It's not in Fukuoka itself, but in a town called Kokura which you can reach by train. The restaurant is a short walk from the train station

Hands down the best sushi meal ever. The chef is very friendly and eve though we didn’t speak the language, the chef explained to us and was very kind which made the whole experience even better. Every bites were just amazing from the special crafted sushi that makes it unique and the well thought through sequence that gives a great flow to the meal. The service was also excellent. The staff would come with a hot towel everytime you go to the toilet in order for you to clean your hand before you sit back down to make sure it’s all hygienic. The attention to detail of the space is also impressive. We love it there.

Had the privilege to dine at Tenzushi Kyomachi, the highest rated sushi shop on Tabelog in Kyushu. Tenzushi serves its own unique Kyushu-style sushi. Each bite of sushi here was heavenly. Service was warm and hospitable. Amano-San speaks English. For foreigners, you will need to book via Tableall but it’s well worth the price.

1st visit March 2024: Amano san is seriously one of the friendliest Taisho ! He was so accomodating to us foreigners. Needless to say his Kyushu style nigiris are 🔥 only with using natural flavors instead of shoyu. I loved them all, especially his special Zuke marinade, Kuruma Ebi , Ika , Kue, slightly smoked Sawara, and Nodoguro. 2nd visit Jan 2025: Citrus is being used on majority of our nigiris. His netas especially maguro are top notch. Really liked the Shime saba with pickled myoga and konbu , sazae with okra this time. Color and flavor of Katsuo of this season is impressive too.

Anyone knowing sushi would know this is one of the holy land. Everything is top class, one of the best sushi experience you will ever get in life. 2nd visit after 2 years, his skills improved eg using yuzu on squid to improve freshness and complexity. Despite his age, depth increase along the trend.

Taking kyushumae sushi to another level! But also, beyond the amazing food, taisho is so friendly and speaks English. Only tea is served, no alcohol.

It s definitelly the best sushi in the world. It super yummi.. perfect balance rice, fish and sauce. Very smooth taste. Love the taste of all Fishes with lemon, salt or yuzu… worthed to wait for 8 months.

This was my first time having Kyushumae sushi and it was so delicious. Chef Amano-san was so hospitable and speaks very good English. If you’re a sushi lover, then you need to add this place to your bucket list.
