Recommended for special occasions: A delicious Japanese-Western fusion course meal at a stylish izakaya (Omuta City)
Hello. I am Yorimichi, the owner of the blog "Yorimichi's Fukuoka Introduction," which introduces delicious restaurants in Fukuoka.
This time, we will introduce a wonderful izakaya that we found in Omuta City.
Stylish and luxurious! The much talked about izakaya "Suigyo no Majiwari" (Omuta City)
"Suigyo no Majiwari" opened in Honmachi, Omuta City on December 5, 2022.
This restaurant is run by O.B.U Company, which also operates restaurants in Fukuoka, Tokyo and Paris, including the skewer restaurant Hakata Matsusuke, the izakaya Hakata Hotaru, and Ataru Ramen.

It is located at the back of "Ramen & Shumai Nakaru," which opened on the same day, down the corridor on the left side of the front.

This small izakaya restaurant has the concept of "treating guests with delicious food that combines Japanese and Western styles." You can enjoy seasonal ingredients carefully selected from all over Kyushu, with a focus on Amakusa.
The interior of the restaurant is a calm, modern Japanese space. It has a luxurious feel to it, so I was a little nervous, but the staff were friendly and I quickly put myself at ease.

In addition to counter seats, there are also private rooms with table seats. The side wall can be removed for large groups.

The photo shows the menu when I visited. The menu changes depending on the season and what's available, so please use this as a reference.
There is a wide selection of fresh fish such as "Amakusa Sea Bream with Sesame Wasabi" (980 yen) and "Three Types of Sashimi Assortment" (1,580 yen), as well as snacks that can be served quickly such as "Nankanage with Plenty of Dashi Stock" (580 yen).

Today's recommendations included Western dishes such as "Japanese-style Salmon and Asparagus Tartare" (800 yen), "Grilled Alfonsino with Herb Breadcrumbs" (1,580 yen), and "Amakusa Black Beef Stroganoff" (980 yen).

In addition to sushi such as "Torotaku Tuna with Nori Seaweed from Ariake Sea" (980 yen) and "Chef's Choice Nigiri Three Pieces" (880 yen), there is even pasta such as "Whimsical Chef's Genovese" (1,280 yen)!
It's also nice that they offer a selection of desserts, such as "Rich Hojicha Panna Cotta" (480 yen).

The "Drunken Fish Intercourse Course" is packed with recommendations
Since it was my first time there, I ordered the daily "Drunken Fish Course" (reservations required the day before, 5,000 yen), which is packed with the recommended dishes of the day.

Let's start with the appetizers, which are like a treasure chest.

Wow, this is it. This is the first time I've eaten "Marinated Bonito", and I wonder if bonito can be used in Western dishes.
It has a slight sourness and a strong umami flavor of bonito.

I really like the name "Atemaki Mentaiko Tamago." It's a bite-sized sushi roll wrapped in tamagoyaki with Spicy Fish Eggs on top, which is really cute.

The "Salmon and Asparagus Tartare" is served on a baguette. I like it because it feels a little luxurious.

I thought this was a vinegared radish dish, but it turned out to be "Bigfin reef squid with yuzu vinegar miso."

And then, "Soup de jour."
It's a cold soup with a gentle sweetness, like pumpkin potage. This is very elegant.

The five appetizers are an interesting mix of a variety of Japanese and Western dishes.
Next is "Otsukuri".
On this day, there were three dishes to choose from: "Seared Swordfish" served with a refreshing ponzu jelly, "Seared Amakusa Daio King Fish" that was tender and melt-in-your-mouth, and "Specially Selected Horse Sashimi" that was so delicious that even I, a former resident of Kumamoto Prefecture who is picky about horse sashimi, shook with excitement.

No matter what I ate, it left a lingering taste.
Next up was the "special dish." On this day, it was the "Amakusa Black Beef Bolognese Penne."

It's also nice and fresh that the pasta comes out in the middle of the course.
The main dish was "meat." On this day, we had "Amakusa Black Beef Lean Steak with Wasabi and Moon Salt."
Image: Detour
Let's start with moonsalt. Yummy... this is so good!
By the time you eat it wrapped in watercress and wasabi...
Good meat has a sticky texture, you know? That feeling spreads throughout your mind.

The soup dish was steamed clams and red sea bream in sake, which was delicious.
The flavor of the sake is so strong that you might get drunk if you're not careful, but it's a parade of deliciousness.
The red sea bream was soaked in broth and was delicious. The clams were big and the broth spread in your mouth. It made me want to drink some sake.

And then there was sushi. On this day, we had five pieces.
I was starting to get full, so I was glad that the portion was small.

The conger eel on the "Conger eel sushi roll" is very fluffy. What is this fluffy texture? The rice is also delicious.
The savory aroma and flavor of the sauce that has soaked into the meat are irresistible.

The "Kombujime Hirame" is best served as is, without soy sauce. The saltiness and aroma of the kelp create a sophisticated, adult flavor.
Image: Detour
"Bluefin tuna" is not otoro, it's lean meat.
But it melts at the temperature of your mouth. The way it crumbles is irresistible.
Image: Detour
This is "Tsuyu-daku Nanseki Inari."
The chewy texture of the Nankanage remains intact, and the mildly flavored broth seeps into your mouth.
Image: Detour
The last dish was gizzard shad. It was the fish that first got me interested in "hikarimono" (light fish), so I wanted to finish off the meal with it.
Image: Detour
The hot dish served was fish soup.
The seasoning is intentionally light to bring out the flavor of the fish. It's refreshing and shows the chef's confidence.
Image: Detour
The sweet treat served with the tea was "Hojicha Panna Cotta."
The thin layer on top is not syrup or caramel, but cold roasted green tea. This is the kind of thoroughness that makes it so impressive.
Image: Detour
It's not sweet, so it's easy to eat at the end.
I really enjoyed it from start to finish, and I can only thank you. I highly recommend it! (Text by Yorimitsu)
