江戸前鮨二鶴について
HISTORY
江戸前鮨 二鶴のスタートは先代店主が小倉北区足立でお店をはじめた昭和40年ごろに遡ります。先代が守ってきたお店を現在の店主船橋節男が受け継いだのは2002年（平成14年）、東京での長きにわたる修行で得た技術と知識をもとに赤酢と塩だけで仕上げたさっぱりとしたシャリに、地元北九州近海をはじめとしたこの土地ならではの良いネタをあわせる二鶴の鮨が誕生しました。2014年（平成26年）には「ミシュランガイド福岡・佐賀」では北九州市内唯一の二つ星を獲得。
Edomaezushi Nikaku goes back to around 1965, when its owner at the time opened the shop in Adachi, Kokura Kita ward. The current owner, Setsuo Funabashi, inherited the shop in 2002 after it had been carefully maintained over the past several decades. By combining sushi rice made simply using red vinegar and salt, a technique he acquired during years of apprenticeship in Tokyo, with superb toppings that could only come from the area, including the coastal waters of his hometown Kitakyushu, Nikaku sushi was born. In 2014, it became the only restaurant in Kitakyushu city to earn two stars in the Michelin Guide: Fukuoka/Saga.

I was born in 1970 in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. My sushi restaurant has been in business for 50 years and spans three generations. When I was 20 years old, I learned the basics of Edo-style sushi at a well-established sushi restaurant in Tokyo. I admired the flavor and technique of Edo-style sushi and devoted myself to mastering it. After completing 12 years of training, I returned home in 2002. That same year, I opened Edomaezushi Nikaku. I aim to use local fish to make Edo-style sushi that is unique to the Kyushu region, and by using sushi rice made only with red vinegar and salt, I aim to marry the sweetness of the rice and the beautiful taste of the fish. I put my heart into my work and stress the beauty of simplicity.
