Kouzushi
Located in the Kochi City Central Wholesale Market, this sushi restaurant is a hidden gem that even locals know about.
From the outside, the restaurant has an old-fashioned atmosphere, and it is difficult to see inside the restaurant from the outside, making it look like an intimidating sushi restaurant. However, a glance at the menu next to the door reveals that the prices are the same as those of a café lunch, making it a sushi restaurant that can be casually entered.
In addition, the restaurant has only a few counter seats and a few table seats. The atmosphere of a traditional, long-established sushi restaurant creates an appetizing atmosphere.
If you come to Koujusushi, I recommend you try "Nigiri (for 1 person) ￥950 ""Nigiri (for 1.5 persons) ￥1,400 " Both serve fish that is in season now, so you can be sure of the taste and freshness.
In addition, sitting at the counter, you can see the fresh local fish being transformed into beautiful sushi by the owner. The sushi comes out on sushi geta, which gives you the sensation of standing tall before you eat.
In addition to the taste, you can feel the spirit of the owner in the size and thickness of the neta, which will surely fill your stomach.
In addition, the soy sauce is applied with a brush and eaten in a style that enhances the sense of connoisseurship and satisfies the soul.
Koujusushi also has excellent aka-dashi (red soup stock) that comes with your order of "nigiri (rice balls) ". Many people come to Kouzuki for the aka-dashi. In addition to sushi, Kouzuki also offers other menu items such as noodles, pudding, and seasonal fruits to make customers feel at home.
A sushi restaurant that retains the atmosphere of a long-established sushi restaurant but conveys the warmth of the owner. Fill your heart and stomach at the sushi bar.
If you are looking for a place to eat, this is the place to go.

Sushi Restaurant Suzuki
This store is located on the main street and is in the center of Kochi City.
The exterior of the restaurant has a modern Japanese style, and once inside, there are counter seats and private tatami room seating. Although there are only a few seats, the restaurant is highly rated by word of mouth not only for its taste but also for its service.
The menu includes an assortment of sushi, or you can order one piece at a time.
All of the sushi are very beautiful in appearance. The sushi looks three-dimensional thanks to the appropriate amount of slits in the neta. Each piece of sushi is also dipped in the right amount of soy sauce, which brings out the best of the sushi both visually and taste-wise.
The restaurant also carries locally brewed sake, so if you tell the owner what sake goes best with the sushi or what you would like to drink now, he will tell you the best sake to go with it.
The restaurant recommends "red vinegar "for the rice.
By hermetically storing sakekasu, the raw material for vinegar, the sakekasu naturally turns red in color, and this action transforms the sakekasu into sakekasu with rich ingredients. The changed sakekasu is used as the raw material and matured into "Aka-zu (red vinegar) ". This restaurant uses the time-consuming "aka-zu "and serves it as rice, so when combined with fresh fish, the taste is characterized by a mellowness that spreads in the mouth.
It is a sushi restaurant that makes you keenly aware of the hidden attention to detail that makes each piece of sushi look so appealing.
This is miniature sushi. You will be surprised at how small it is compared to chopsticks. The general can even make such cute things. It is one of those items that you can't help but take a picture of.
And you can imagine that the atmosphere there is full of warm smiles and atmosphere among the customers, the general manager and the waitstaff.
Of course, it is a high-class sushi restaurant because it is a non-turnover sushi restaurant, but it is also a relaxing sushi restaurant where the personality of the owner lowers the threshold of customers' feelings.

Sushi Restaurant Kubo
This sushi restaurant is a hideaway in the basement of a building along Otesuji Street in Kochi City.
The restaurant has many fans even if the prices are high because they can enjoy various variations of sushi, such as traditional Tosa sushi made by the owner, a veteran sushi chef with more than 30 years of experience, and his son's new style of sushi.
The restaurant has a tangy, upscale atmosphere, but because it is run by a family, it also has a somewhat homey feel. Not only the taste, but also the relaxed atmosphere is one of the restaurant's charms.
The restaurant offers ￥5,000 and ￥8,000 courses on its menu. We recommend ordering a course at this restaurant.
This is because you can enjoy the taste of the owner's craftsmanship in making the most of the flavors of the ingredients. The sushi is served with a strong and robust flavor, and the color of each piece is bright and colorful. The sushi is gorgeous and delicious, which explains why it has so many fans.
Of course, you can also order any nigiri you are interested in that is not on the course. Especially the sushi that are often uploaded on Instagram are "Mei Negi Sushi "and "Tosa Akashi no Aburi Nigiri ".
"The sprouted leek sushi "is a popular sushi that can be eaten like a salad, with a great balance between the vinegared rice and the salt on top. Also, "Tosa Red Urchin Seared Nigiri "is a sushi that can only be found at this restaurant. It has a reputation for being the only place to eat it.
The stuff you can't eat unless you go to a sushi restaurant, you'll find it at Sushi Restaurant KUBO. You can enjoy Kochi's ingredients at this sushi restaurant.
As the Corona disaster continues, this upscale sushi restaurant is also offering takeout.
I especially recommend "Chirashi Sushi "and "Eel Battera "
"Chirashi Sushi "is very beautifully colored and contains a variety of ingredients, allowing you to enjoy the textures in your mouth. Also, since Kochi Prefecture is famous for eel, this restaurant offers "eel battera "as takeout.

Also, each dish is small, making it easy for even women to eat. When going with a large group, it is served on a platter like this so it looks good in photos.
