All Reviews of Amakusa Kaisen Kura

I made a special trip to eat at Amakusa Kaisen Kura while visiting Amakusa, and it did not disappoint at all! The seafood was very fresh, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality. The seafood BBQ was fresh, sweet, and had a pleasantly firm texture. Every bite was full of the fresh flavor of the sea.

I had the grilled live abalone set at Amakusa Kaisen Kura, and it was incredibly fresh and delicious. It was simply cooked over charcoal, and with just a little sauce, it tasted amazing.

The grilled fish really surprised me with how good it was. Even after going back to Taiwan, I still kind of miss that fish QQ

The shop also sells lots of items and has plushie prize draws, so you can try your luck and take home a cute souvenir doll.

The sashimi slices were thick and sweet with absolutely no fishy smell.

The seafood rice bowl was super generous – packed with shrimp and sashimi, completely covering the top, and it really whets your appetite just looking at it.

The seasoning is on the lighter side, so you can really taste the natural flavors of the ingredients without it being too heavy.

The overall vibe is simple and down-to-earth, kind of like a local diner. Both tourists and locals come here, and it’s pretty busy. You do have to line up during peak hours, but it feels worth it for such fresh seafood.

The attached restaurant focuses on fresh seafood, and you can tell right away the ingredients are really solid. Both the sashimi and the seafood rice bowls are generous and feel really well done.
