I felt like having a delicious Japanese lunch, so I decided to visit this place after a long time. Lunch reservations are required by the day before, and I made a reservation through Tabelog. It's convenient that even one person can make a reservation. There are counter seats on the first floor and seating on the second floor, but I chose the counter seat on the first floor this time. Dining alone is nice at the counter. I had the 2,780 yen course which included: - Assorted 3 appetizers: visually beautiful and delicious - Chilled tea-steamed egg custard with snow crab and seaweed: refreshing and tasty - Assorted 5 sashimi: cute plate and generous portions - Deep-fried chicken wings with dried overnight: crispy skin and delicious - Deep-fried mackerel and eggplant: both delicious - Clay pot rice using ultimate blend rice 'Oukasumi' from the main store in Kyoto: served individually and can be made into onigiri if there's leftover - Tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg) using rich and sweet "Nanayama eggs": tasty - Freshly shaved bonito flakes: fluffy and flavorful - Miso soup with clams: tasty - Dessert: warabi mochi - I had one serving of rice, so the rest was made into onigiri. They mixed in the remaining bonito flakes, which was a nice touch. I was surprised that the price has not increased since my first visit, and at 2,750 yen (tax included), it is affordable and delicious. Having delicious Japanese food always puts me at ease. The service was polite, and it was a pleasant lunchtime.

I have accumulated T-points, some of which have a set expiration date, so I decided to make a reservation at the restaurant "Ginmi" for a Saturday lunch during my day off. I reserved a table for 12:00 and headed towards Nishi Nakasu. The restaurant is located near the famous sushi restaurant "Kawasho" (although I've never been there). The exterior of the restaurant is understated, so it might be easy to miss if you don't look it up beforehand. When I entered the restaurant and informed them of my reservation for one person, I was guided to a room on the left with a counter set for two people, giving me plenty of space. The lunch reservation is by appointment only. I ordered the "Ginmi Special Lunch Course (2,750 yen, tax included)." The first dishes served were steamed egg custard and three appetizers. It was comforting to have the steamed egg custard in the cold weather. Additionally, they mentioned that "today's steamed egg custard sauce uses seven herbs," adding a touch of New Year's atmosphere. The steamed egg custard even contained shirako, making it a luxurious dish. The lunch course consisted of steamed egg custard, three appetizers, sashimi, fried dish, simmered dish, freshly cooked rice in a pot, miso soup, and dessert. Each dish, from the shirako steamed egg custard to the simmered dish using fugu skin, and the fried chicken wings and fried flounder, showed a dedication and love for each ingredient. Enjoying a leisurely lunch while receiving explanations about the dishes made me forget about the lunch break time. A notable highlight was the rice and bonito flakes. A pot was placed in front of the counter, and they explained, "This is freshly cooked rice. It's still steaming, so please wait a little longer." After waiting, I peeked inside the pot and saw shiny grains of rice with a beautiful crab hole. The perfectly cooked and shiny rice grains were a reminder of the deliciousness of rice itself. Just as I thought, "This is enough on its own," the staff recommended, "Please add this bonito flakes." The thinly shaved bonito flakes danced on top of the rice when I added them, and when I drizzled soy sauce and tasted it, it was truly exquisite. It was a blissful taste that made me grateful to be born in Japan. I had been impressed by the delicious dishes up to that point, but this simple and best menu surpassed them all. This delicious rice with bonito flakes was a first for me. I finished the three-cup portion of rice and even enjoyed the dessert of warabi mochi. For the price, it was a high-value lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal.2750

Located in Nishi-Nakasu. While most of the restaurants in Nishi-Nakasu are known for their high-end and luxurious Japanese cuisine, this one is relatively more affordable. I was skeptical due to the reasonable prices, but the food turned out to be delicious and stylish. The presentation of the dishes is beautiful, and the taste is excellent. We were served six different types of sashimi, each on a unique plate, which kept things interesting. The Inca dish with plenty of butter and cheese was a new and innovative menu item that I enjoyed. The Hachidai Gyohei cooked in a pot was rich and delicious, with a strong aroma of rice. It was the most delicious main dish without a doubt. The dessert of giant grape mochi was also tasty. Overall, everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Thank you for the meal.【Shokudou Ginmi】

The restaurant was located along a small alley just a little off the crowded mentaiko rice bowl shops in Nishinakasu Kawabata. We made a reservation for a special meal. We opted for the chef's choice course, which started with appetizers and a chilled chawanmushi, offering a luxurious dining experience that allowed us to forget about time for a while. The meal ended with freshly cooked rice in a clay pot, with the first serving topped with bonito flakes and the second serving mixed with raw egg, both of which were delicious.

I finally visited "Shokudo Ginmi," which I had been wanting to visit as I had only been using takeout until now. Lunch requires reservations made by the previous day, and there is a counter on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. The lunch course includes seasonal appetizers, cold steamed egg custard, sashimi, fried dish, simmered dish, freshly cooked rice in a clay pot, miso soup, and dessert (warabi mochi). The food was delicious, and I felt like having a drink, so I ordered a Japanese sake highball. It was refreshing and easy to drink. If you can't finish all the clay pot rice, they can make it into onigiri for you. Since I had plans afterwards, I ordered additional chirimen sansho and finished everything. Every dish was delicious, and I had a wonderful time. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

A course that will make women who love washoku, fish, and vegetables happy♡ I enjoyed it at the counter. Each dish in the course allows you to feel the season, and the deliciousness seeps into your body. The 5 kinds of sashimi were well seasoned, with a selection of soy sauce and ponzu that complemented the sashimi. The fried fish and tofu dish was also delicious, and the clay pot rice with bonito flakes, soy sauce, and raw egg for topping made it enjoyable to eat as many bowls as you want. If you can't finish it, they will make onigiri for you, but I ended up eating all of it. Later, I felt like my stomach was going to burst (lol). The chilled chawanmushi was also incredibly delicious. They make it in front of you, so you can enjoy it with your eyes as well. The chef also kindly listened to my silly stories. I want to try the evening course next time. I recommend this restaurant to my friends too! Thank you for the meal.

I went there for the first time. Overall, the food was delicious. Particularly delicious was the 'rice' at the end! It was especially delicious with bonito flakes. It was carefully cooked in a clay pot, and there seem to be other Kyushu soy sauce & raw egg series stores in Fukuoka, so I would like to visit them next time.

I reserved an 8,800 yen course on the night of Bon festival. The dishes were plentiful and each one had high quality. It is recommended for those who want to try a variety of dishes in small portions. Especially, the rice cooked in a pot was shiny and amazing. Besides the food, the owner, who seems to be a sake lover, served various premium sake that were not on the menu, and we had a great time talking about sake. They are considering a premium sake all-you-can-drink course in the future, so I would love to visit again when I go to Fukuoka.

I came alone on a trip. I had a delicious lunch. Each dish and the 6 types of sashimi had distinct characteristics and were delicious and interesting. The aroma of the rice when the stone pot was opened was really good. The staff were also kind. It was a memorable meal.

I had been curious about this restaurant for a long time, so I visited for lunch. If I had known it was such a wonderful place, I would have come sooner. I had the Japanese course for 2750 yen, which was not only voluminous but also had a variety of dishes. I was excited to see what would come next. Of course, every dish was delicious. The rice cooked in the pot, in particular, was amazing from the aroma alone. I would like to try dining here in the evening next time.

The restaurant serves traditional Japanese cuisine, but the neon lights give it a stylish touch. When renting out the large room on the 3rd floor for a party, there is a set course of ¥10,000. The meal included appetizers, 5 types of sashimi, fried chicken wings, and chilled chawanmushi, all of which were delicious and left the participants very satisfied. The finale of the meal, the clay pot rice, was cooked perfectly, and the presentation of various side dishes coming in a box was enjoyable. The all-you-can-drink sake with several varieties was also tasty and a great deal.

We visited to celebrate our naturalization anniversary. Originally we were seated at the counter, but thankfully we were guided to a private room. We mentioned it was our anniversary, and the restaurant even brought out a special dessert plate to commemorate the occasion. We are very grateful and would love to visit again.

"On July 17, 2023, I visited #GindouGinmi for the first time to celebrate my friend's father's 77th birthday. We enjoyed a course menu priced at 5500 yen, which included: 1. Seasonal assorted appetizers 2. 6 types of sashimi with different seasonings for each, very enjoyable 3. Cold chawanmushi with crab, water shield, young corn, refreshing 4. Fried young ayu fish, tender with a subtle bitterness 5. Simmered Kinmedai fish, delicious broth, balanced dish with water eggplant and potatoes 6. Freshly cooked rice in a clay pot, incredibly delicious with a shiny and moist texture from Gion Yaezaki Yagobei "Oyakasumi" rice 7. Shaved dried bonito from Makurazaki, the best accompaniment for the meal 8. Karatsu Seven Mountain Egg, rich and delicious egg yolk for egg rice 9. Dessert (Birthday surprise) The staff surprised us with a birthday plate, even though we didn't mention it when making the reservation. Both my friend's parents and I were delighted by this thoughtful gesture. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back again. Gindou Ginmi is definitely worth a visit! #GindouGinmi #FukuokaGourmet #FukuokaLunch #NishiNakasuGourmet"

Visited Ginmi-sama in Tenjin, Fukuoka. It's located in a back alley and can be a bit tricky to find, but this time I was with my friend from Fukuoka so we had no trouble (lol). From the sign at the entrance, you might wonder what kind of cuisine they serve, but it's actually Japanese food. The photo shows the final course of rice in a clay pot and the perfect dishes to go with it. Every time I reach this point, I'm already full but end up getting seconds without even realizing it.

Today, we welcomed customers from Kansai to Ginmi. The 10,000 yen all-you-can-drink course still offers a wide variety of small dishes. It's great to be able to eat lots of different types of meat, fish, and vegetables. The service, atmosphere of the restaurant, and the drinks in the all-you-can-drink menu are all of high quality, and the customers were very pleased!

The owner found this place through a rare Eat Log research and we decided to visit. The location of the restaurant is in Nishi Nakasu, just past the line for mentaiko rice bowls. It's a great feeling to be able to drink beer in Nishi Nakasu during the daytime on a weekday. Since it was lunch, I wasn't expecting a wide variety of dishes, but they serve various items in small dishes, which is a satisfying style. The sashimi here had a sophisticated flavoring. I usually don't like strong flavors, but each dish had delicate touches and was delicious! I was nodding in approval after each dish. I planned to just have beer, but ended up trying some sake too... The tulip-shaped fried chicken was easy to eat, and the meat dishes were also delicious. However, I was completely won over by the bonito rice at the end. The bonito rice and tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg) usually don't excite me much, but this was exceptional! The rice was incredibly delicious, cooked in a kiln! I could just eat the rice alone. Then they generously sprinkle freshly shaved bonito flakes on top. They give you a whole bowl of bonito flakes, so you can add as much as you want. We are usually light eaters, but when something is this delicious, we just can't stop eating. We each had about 2.5 bowls of rice. It was a good decision to go on an empty stomach. The soy sauce-marinated egg yolk was probably the most impressive part... No, the cost performance is just too good. I would like to visit for the evening course next time.

When it comes to Ginmi, the freshly fried chicken wings are a must-try! They are easy to eat and come pre-prepared, which is very convenient. The crab chawanmushi was also very luxurious. The ultimate blend rice (Ougi Kasumi) in a clay pot from Kyoto Gion's 8th generation Gihei is so delicious that you could eat as many bowls as you want. Thank you for the feast.

We used it for a reception, and the 3rd floor can be reserved for private use with 8 or more people. The entrance facade is cute with neon tubes, and the interior is mainly made of wood, including a wooden counter on the 1st floor, creating a calm and modern atmosphere. We ordered a course for 10,000 yen with all-you-can-drink, and it was delicious from the first appetizer platter to the small servings of sashimi and the freshly cooked rice in a clay pot at the end! The dessert was strawberry daifuku, which was visually pleasing as well, and everyone was very satisfied. I would like to come back for a private visit next time.

I came to eat Ginshari at Gindou Ginnmi Kyoto Gion Hachidaime Gibe. I feel like I've heard of this place before where they serve carefully selected rice? I enjoyed freshly cooked Ginshari at this specialty shop. The course fee was 10,000 yen (with all-you-can-drink), but the details were unclear. The meal started with an appetizer assortment including vinegar-marinated seaweed, fava beans with karasumi, whitebait with greens, simmered clams, and tomato with cheese. The sashimi included four types: yellowtail with salt, amberjack, striped jack, and another white fish (possibly horse mackerel). Bonito tataki was served with ponzu sauce, and tuna akami and toro with garlic soy sauce. There was also a fried bamboo shoot dish that was delicious. I vaguely remember a green steamed egg dish with broccoli and something blue. The highlight was the Ginshari, served steaming hot with freshly shaved bonito flakes. It was delicious on its own, but even better when mixed with egg and bonito flakes. The meal ended with miso soup and strawberry daifuku (made with Amaou strawberries). This is how the meal went during the drinking party. Thank you for the feast!

We reserved a 10,000 yen course for 6 people. The space was beautiful and sophisticated, and the rice at the end was delicious. There were also other a la carte options available, but it felt a bit pricey for a 10,000 yen course. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, including tasty sake, but you couldn't choose from the menu - the staff just brought their recommendations. It would have been even better if we could choose the sake brand from the menu.

The cost performance is not good. The dishes were light and seemed to be for entertaining purposes, lacking impact. The rumored kettle-cooked rice was delicious, but it was at a level where you would think, "Is this it?" I used it for a senior colleague's 60th birthday celebration, but with all-you-can-drink for 8,000 yen, is this the level you get? It seems like it's geared towards entertaining in Nishi Chuo, so I don't think I'll be visiting again.
