Tucked away as a sushi sanctuary, this legendary spot serves exquisite Kyushu-style nigiris crafted by the friendly Amano-san, making every bite unforgettable.
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.

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.

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.

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.
