Alongside yellowtail, red sea bream is a classic fish that graces New Year’s tables in Fukuoka. Traditionally, a whole sea bream is purchased: the fillets are enjoyed as sashimi, while the head and remaining parts are simmered. At Matsunaga Suisan, the head is first parboiled and cleaned of scales, then gently simmered in a sweet-and-savory sauce made with soy sauce and sugar. Its rich flavor pairs beautifully not only with sake and shochu, but also with steamed rice. A subtle hint of chili pepper added as a hidden accent tightens the sweetness, creating a deeply satisfying dish.
Featuring seafood caught in the Genkai Sea off Fukuoka, as well as fresh fish and shellfish from the waters around Kyushu, the restaurant delights its guests with the region’s bounty. Popular dishes include live squid sashimi, prepared fresh after being taken directly from the in-house tank.
