Sushizen, located in a back alley of the central district of Oita City, is a hidden gem popular among true sushi enthusiasts. Despite its small space with only 6 counter seats and one private room, it boasts outstanding flavors backed by the freshness of the sushi ingredients and masterful techniques.
The nigiri sushi made with carefully selected high-quality seafood by the owner does not even require dipping in soy sauce. The natural flavors of the ingredients spread in the mouth, delivering an irresistibly delicious taste. The superbly fresh sashimi is also outstanding, and it is recommended to enjoy it together with the chef's recommended dishes.
When paired with locally curated sake selected by the chef, the taste of the sushi becomes even more prominent. With a wide selection of shochu brands, enjoying the local Yabakei beauty served in hot sake will surely intoxicate you with its rich flavor and pleasant aroma.
As a popular spot frequented by regulars, advance reservations are essential. The chef is very friendly and will provide advice on how to enjoy the sushi and sake. In the city of Oita, which often has a metropolitan atmosphere, encountering such exquisite sushi and local sake is undeniably a major charm.
