Sasaizumi - Casual Seafood Kappo
A seafood izakaya tracing its roots to a sake merchant established in 1914. Under the motto 'casual kappo,' fresh catch from Nagasaki's coastal waters is sourced directly every morning with zero use of frozen produce. Live squid sashimi, Nagasaki herb mackerel, and freshly cut sashimi have earned a devoted local following for over a century. The 120-seat restaurant buzzes from lunchtime. Takeout and delivery (2 km radius, 2-hour advance notice required) available. Yahoo! Maps 3.88, 100+ reviews.
'When it comes to seafood in Sasebo, there's only one choice—the freshness is on another level.' 'The translucency and sweetness of the live squid sashimi never fails to amaze.' 'Sake at wholesale prices? There's no other place like this.' 'The fish feels like it came straight from the local fisherman's catch.'
