About
Tsugumi offers cuisine that honors tradition while embracing modern sensibilities, centered around the rich ingredients of northern Kyushu. Through close relationships with local producers, the restaurant showcases the character of ingredients nurtured by Kyushu’s climate, expressing their appeal in dishes that transcend the boundaries of conventional Japanese cuisine.
The centerpiece of the menu is grouper from northern Kyushu, one of the region’s most celebrated catches. Sourced from markets such as Fukuoka’s Nagahama Market, the fish is carefully handled and processed immediately after being caught, intentionally served without aging to highlight its fresh aroma, texture, and flavor unique to the region. Depending on the season, it is prepared as sashimi, grilled dishes, or shabu‑shabu. The menu also features wild eel from Yanagawa in Fukuoka Prefecture, wild mallard duck from Itoshima, and—between January and March—wild tiger pufferfish weighing around five kilograms.
A curated selection of Kyushu wines, sake, shochu, and Yame tea further enriches the dining experience, complemented by porcelain from Arita, Imari, and Karatsu. The modern interior, composed in calming gray tones, offers eight counter seats where guests can enjoy watching each dish being prepared right before their eyes. Immerse yourself in a moment that reflects the seasons and culinary heritage of Kyushu.
