What exactly is “Kuikiri” to begin with?

“食う”and”喰う”
Both can be interpreted to mean the same thing,but at our restaurant, we put our heart into the character for “喰う.”

It’s not merely about eating,but rather, we believe that “喰う” is about connecting life while feeling the history and food culture of the land,and we have named our sushi brand “Kuikiri Sushi” with this sentiment in mind.

Furthermore, our owner (Shoichi Imahashi) here in Hakata,as a wholesaler inheriting the role from the previous generation, through years of experience and discernment,has been providing carefully selected ingredients as affordably as possible so that they can be fully enjoyed.
