Amakusa Kaisen Kura
Located at the northern tip of Shimoshima, the largest island in the Amakusa archipelago, this popular complex offers dolphin watching in some of Kumamoto’s clearest waters along with dining options that let you fully enjoy local seafood.
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.
