Nestled in the Sumiyoshi district in the northern part of Nagasaki City, "Heiwa Sushi" is a hidden gem loved by locals. While preserving the tradition of Edomae sushi, it shines with creative ingenuity using Nagasaki’s fresh seafood, offering delicacies that even the most discerning sushi connoisseur would appreciate.
The recommended "Omakase" course showcases the owner's exquisite skills. Particularly renowned is the tuna, with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich flavor, offering a truly blissful bite. You should not miss seasonal flavors like hirame and sea urchin either. Enjoy the world of deliciousness created by fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned sushi rice.
Though sushi restaurants generally have a high-end image, at Heiwa Sushi you can enjoy top-quality sushi at astonishingly reasonable prices. The high cost-performance is also appealing, with a top sushi set with tuna costing around 2,500 yen. The lunch set menu is particularly good value, so much so that you'll wonder, "Is this price really possible?"
The interior is certainly not spacious, but that only adds to the coziness. Witnessing the culinary skill of the artisans right across the counter is one of the pleasures. Coupled with the affable nature of the husband-and-wife owners, you can enjoy a relaxed time.
Heiwa Sushi sits on a quiet street in the Sumiyoshi district. Discover for yourself why it has been cherished by locals. Whether as the finale of your Nagasaki tour or a special dinner occasion, it will surely create unforgettable delicious memories.
