We visited out of season, so the menu was limited, but the locally-caught fish was delicious and the proprietor was very friendly.

We recently visited Kozushima and wanted to eat sushi on our way home. There are only three sushi restaurants on the island, and this is the only one open for lunch. Since Kozushima is an island, we had slightly above average expectations for the fish. On our final day, we ordered their specialty box set for ¥2500 to go. As you can see from the picture, the color of the fish itself looks off. The taste was not much different either. The tuna had a pungent flavor and seemed inedible. For ¥2500 you get seven - YES ONLY SEVEN - pieces of sushi, and only three varieties of fish. The chef said the fish were local to kozushima, and that was true solely for the red squid. The tuna and amberjack are standard sushi for all of Japan. I would absolutely AVOID this restaurant. There chef had no passion for the fish and seemed uninterested. It really showed in how the fish tasted. After having been in Japan for 20+ years, I can say - without any hesitation - this was the worst sushi I've ever had.

Owner was friendly and fish tasted fresh even at night. The simmered fish was cheap and delicious if you like picking meat from the head and bones. The seaweed was nice and crunchy. Island sushi had big long slices of fish!

A shop run by the owner alone, where you can eat Kozushima's local dish, island sushi! The menu is a choice between island sushi nigiri or a bowl, and there are no other side menus or sushi. It's only island sushi and alcoholic drinks, so it's not suitable for people who want to eat various things. I think the taste is delicious, but since all the fish on the sushi are seasoned, I honestly didn't know what fish I was eating. There was no explanation from the shop about what fish it was either💦 It seems that if you make a reservation by the previous day, you get a 500 yen discount.

Stayed at Familia and stopped by for dinner. The entrance is a bit tucked away, but there is a glowing sign with the words 'Mikako Sushi', which is the landmark. Since it was the end of the year on 12/30, I called to make a reservation just in case, and they gave us mulberry wine and amanatsu wine. Furthermore, they also gave us tempura of ashitaba and local seaweed. The sushi was marinated sushi of 'Housan' (a relative of bonito) and 'Kanburi' (winter yellowtail), which are in season in winter!! It was very delicious, and the owner seemed like a very kind person! Thank you for the meal!!
