Nishiki-Zushi

Saiki City, one of Japan’s most prominent fishing grounds looking out on the Bungo Channel, is called by many as the “No. 1 Sushi Town in the World.” You can find plenty of sushi restaurants around Saiki, but there’s one particular spot we don’t want you to miss located only at a 5 minutes’ walk away from the JR Saiki Station called Nishiki-Zushi. This famous restaurant has a popular following including famous people from around the country and is often featured in the media. The greatest attraction to this restaurant is without a doubt the giant sushi toppings that almost completely cover the rice underneath! The size of each piece of sushi topping is about 3 to 4 times larger than the average and is so big that the chef may ask if you want it cut into smaller sizes for you.
