Be warned that if like me you never tried fugu before, you might be extremely severely disappointed. The taste was so subtle I almost didn't taste it, and for 25 dollars the plate of fugu, that sure did not go well. I also had some fried whale that tasted great, and the restaurant is in typical Japanese fashion, with waitresses in geta and kimono and everything, but this is a very costly place for a fish with almost no taste.

Shimonoseki is famous for the Fish Markets. Karato Market is so popular among the fresh fish or sushi fans in the weekend. Naniwa is closed on Sunday, but it is open from 11:30 to 2pm for lunch and from 5pm to 10pm for dinner for the other days.The chef is very reliable not in English but in the traditional Japanese sushi or blowfish course, etc. The easiest way to experience his sushi, etc. would be to visit the venue in the lunch time and ask them you would like to have Sushi Bento (3800 yen plus 8%tax) and if you prefer a Japanese sake together, ask them 1(ichi) goh (180ml) nihonshu. It would be around 800 yen to 1000 yen(plus 8%tax). So, you are to pay around 5000 yen to experience the best sushi lunch set which includes wonderful miso soup, chawan-mushi, 7 kinds of sushi plus 2 additional sushi rolls and powdered green tea plus a Japanese sweet. Please do not try to speak to him in English. Instead, you are recommended to try your Japanese (even fragmentary) because the staff there are all kind as far as you use their language. Wife and I just visited this place today and had Sushi Bento and a sake. It was wonderful! I know several good sushi places in Shimonoseki, but this must be the authentic one among the top category.The photo I added here shows the part of lunch menu. It includes Sushi Bento å¯¿å¸å¼å½(3800yen) if you can read Japanese.ãï¼The Chinese character I used here may not show the correct form in the other fonts.)
