A Luxurious Sushi Experience in Ikebukuro: Sushi Fukuro Opens!

On May 23, 2025, a fresh culinary destination will emerge in Ikebukuro as Sushi Fukuro opens its doors. Operated by Sun Shiny Co., led by President Yoshiyuki Miyasaka, this new establishment promises to deliver an unparalleled sushi experience.

A Unique Offering from a Master Chef

Sushi Fukuro is the vision of head chef Yoshiki Watanabe, whose meticulous sushi craftsmanship is showcased in every piece he serves. The precision in his technique allows the rice and fish to harmoniously blend, creating an unforgettable flavor experience with each bite.

Located just a five-minute stroll from Ikebukuro Station’s west exit, the restaurant offers a calm retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle of the city, nestled close to Nishi-Ikebukuro Park.

Watanabe is joined in the kitchen by fellow chef Hayato Yamamoto, both of whom honed their skills at the prestigious Sushi Ginza Onodera. Their extensive training equips them with the expertise necessary to bring authentic, high-quality sushi to the heart of Ikebukuro.

A Commitment to Quality Ingredients

The sushi at Fukuro begins with a keen eye for quality fish, sourced from the renowned Toyosu Market. Chef Watanabe possesses long-standing relationships with select wholesalers, granting him access to the finest fish not commonly found on the open market. He carefully evaluates the fish’s condition and ensures that it is perfectly complemented by a unique blend of two types of red vinegar rice, achieving a sublime depth of flavor.

Among the specialties, the tuna stands out as a distinctive offering, carefully selected each day by Watanabe to guarantee superb quality. Sushi Fukuro aims to impress even the most discerning tuna enthusiasts with this remarkable dish.

Pairing Perfection: Wine and Sake

To enhance the sushi experience, a curated selection of sake and wine is available, designed to perfectly complement the flavors of each dish. The sake menu focuses on exclusive brands like “Jikon,” which are challenging to find elsewhere. With each visit, guests will discover new tastes to elevate their dining experience.

Additionally, a carefully chosen white wine, supervised by a sommelier, is offered to pair seamlessly with the sushi, making each meal an unforgettable encounter.

An Inviting and Elegant Atmosphere

Sushi Fukuro’s interior design embraces a modern yet traditional aesthetic conceived by the talented designer Koichi Nishinoyama. The warmth of wood is perfectly balanced with clean lines and a refined ambiance that enhances the dining experience. The main counter is crafted from high-quality hinoki wood, inviting patrons to relax while enjoying their meals.

A unique centerpiece, designed by sculptor Keisuke Yamaguchi and made of Yakusugi wood, adds an artistic touch to the ambiance, symbolizing the restaurant’s commitment to craftsmanship.

A Memorable Dining Experience Awaiting You

Chef Watanabe emphasizes that Sushi Fukuro is more than just a place to eat; it’s a destination for creating cherished memories. Every piece of sushi is made with passion and pride, inviting guests to return and share their experience with loved ones.

Special Opening Promotion: Limited-Edition Plan

To celebrate its opening, Sushi Fukuro is offering a special plan that includes an “all-you-can-drink” option for only 20,000 yen (tax included). This limited-time offer, running from May 23 to May 31, 2025, aims to create a unique and memorable experience for guests.
