【Owner: Shinsuke Nomura】
Born in Miyazaki Prefecture, Mr. Nomura laughs, “Maybe I became a chef simply because I love fish.” He opened Shinsuke in 2001 and continues to personally visit the market each day to select the finest ingredients. “The greatest joy is seeing our guests smile after tasting our food,” he says — a passion clearly reflected in every dish he prepares.

Sakura sea bream refers to red sea bream caught during its spring spawning season. “In particular, sea bream from Fukuoka harvested in February and March, just as they begin preparing to spawn, develops a rich layer of fat and a beautifully mellow flavor,” explains Mr. Nomura, the owner. The cooking method that best brings out this natural deliciousness is sake steaming. The fish is lightly salted and rested, briefly blanched to remove impurities, then placed on a plate lined with kombu. Shiitake mushrooms and white leeks are added before the dish is gently steamed with sake. Finished with a house-made ponzu featuring hebesu, a citrus fruit native to the Hyuga region of Miyazaki Prefecture, the result is an elegant, refined flavor that pairs effortlessly with sake.
With only 16 seats, Shinsuke offers a quiet, intimate setting where guests can enjoy dishes that bring out the natural flavors of seasonal seafood. If you’re visiting for the first time, try the signature Sashimi Platter (3,500 JPY per person), which even includes rare cuts of whale - a unique local delicacy.
