Joofuku Sushi

A whole Pacific saury rests elegantly atop the sushi rice. The flesh, cured in citrus vinegar, is plump and firm, releasing a refreshing aroma with every bite. Located in front of the station, "Joofuku Sushi" proudly features Shingu's specialty, Sanma-sugata-zushi (whole saury sushi), as its mainstay. Since its founding in 1950 (Showa 25), the shop has stubbornly adhered to a unique production method that cannot be imitated by other stores. The restaurant's name is derived from Joofuku, who is said to have crossed the sea in search of eternal life. The shop hangs its shop curtain right next to the park that bears his name. From Sanma-sugata-zushi and Konbu-zushi to Mehari-zushi, all the local flavors of Shingu can be found here. It is the kind of place you'll find yourself wanting to drop by during your travels.
