Three Reasons to Choose Fukuju
Traditional Fukuju Flavor
Fukuju was established here in Nanki Shirahama almost 60 years ago. With a selection of sushi and single dishes made using fresh seafood caught in the nearby Kishu waters, we have earned the respect and patronage of both locals and guests visiting while on vacation.
Fukuju has been in business for over half a century, with operations being passed down for three generations. We continue to preserve the traditional Fukuju flavor we’ve been known for since the beginning, while also doing our best to satisfy the needs of our customers in everchanging times.
