Minami (formerly Sakana Giyaman)

Convenience is one of the many positive points of this restaurant in Kitakyushu — it’s just minutes away from multiple stations including JR Kokura Station and Heiwadori Station. But that’s not all Minami has to offer. This restaurant excels in adding a touch of fresh modern flavors to what we love about the traditional Japanese cuisine. The chef ensures the essential traditional culinary techniques are still practiced to preserve the authenticity of this culturally rich cuisine. Even the interior of this restaurant effortlessly exerts an ambiance of a retro and modern hybrid. All of these complements the dishes Minami serves with a strong emphasis on simplicity and natural beauty. Best of all, every ingredient used is sourced from the one and only Kitakyushu. Minami offers a variety of course menus with various quantities of dishes in each. Expect constant changes on the menu based on the season, but rest assured that every seasonal ingredient is prepared in the most unique way possible: the Minami way.
