A variety of exquisite dishes made by a former sushi chef

The owner, Fusa, is a former sushi chef, but he opened Kaisen Izakaya Fusa because he wanted more people to be able to enjoy the food he makes.

Every dish that Fusa makes is said to be delicious.

In addition to fresh sashimi and sushi, the restaurant also serves a variety of small dishes that change daily and are all very elaborate. The shumai, which is handmade every day, is a must-have item among regular customers.

In addition, Fusa's "Spaghetti with Meat Sauce," which she describes as "mother's cooking," is also quite popular.

Depending on the season, the menu includes plenty of seasonal ingredients such as conger eel, puffer fish, and matsutake mushrooms, and in winter there are Oden and small hotpots, and the list is endless.

The variety of the menu is proof of the owner's love

The reason why there are so many different menu items is because of Fusa-san's love for each dish.

"I listened to the requests of our regular customers, and before I knew it, it had become like this (laughs)." Just as Fusa says, Kaisen Izakaya Fusa is a restaurant loved by many regular customers.

Curry udon was supposed to be on the menu in response to such requests, but it wasn't ordered at all so it was taken off the menu, but then it was requested again and put back on the menu...

The famous proprietress is everyone's mother

One of the reasons why Fusa is so beloved is the personality of his wife, the proprietress.

The landlady is mainly in charge of customer service.

The proprietress proactively talks to customers and engages in casual conversation, making her feel like a mother, and I feel at home. It's nice to be able to ask the waiter for recommendations at a restaurant with a large number of menu items.

Also available as a dinner venue at SEKAI HOTEL Fuse

This restaurant is also the dinner venue for SEKAI HOTEL Fuse. Guests who book a plan that includes dinner can enjoy a special course meal made up of only dishes recommended by SEKAI HOTEL staff.

A "home" where everyone can gather. Along with the couple's wishes

The word "Izakaya" in the restaurant's name seem a bit odd when you see in kanji.

Normally it is called 居酒「屋」 (izakaya), but at Fusa they use the character 居酒「家」. 家 means home.

"We want this place to be like a home where everyone can gather," say Fusa and the proprietress.

While enjoying Fusa's delicious food and alcohol, you can enjoy casual conversation with the landlady and locals. Fusa Kaisen Izakaya has already become a "home" for the kindhearted people of Fuse.
