Nigiriga Uoshin
While technically a kaiten sushi restaurant in Fukui's Bunkyo district, most sushi is made to order by a skilled chef. The cheapest plate starts at just 210 yen, yet the freshness and size of toppings rival directly-sourced fish from the local port. Lines form 30 minutes before opening, with waits of 1.5 to 2 hours being common. A single-location operation. Locals say they visit Fukui just for this place. Takeout available.
Reviews consistently say: 'I can't believe this quality at this price', 'I came to Fukui just for this place', 'Long lines before opening'. Tabelog 245 reviews, Yahoo Map 4.3 (98 reviews). Reviews are varied and specific with no signs of fake reviews. Takeout available.
