There is no menu to read at Sumi. You sit, the chef looks at what came in from the boats that morning, and the evening begins.

Daisuke trained for eleven years in Fukuoka and Tokyo before opening Sumi in 2023. The rice is seasoned with red vinegar and served at body temperature.

Please arrive on time. The first piece is served to everyone at once.

  • 10 seats at the counter
  • 2 sittings each evening
  • Tuesday to Saturday
