In Fukuoka, rather different from what you are used to in Tokyo, the fishes tend to be of firmer texture, sweeter, and more lively. When you ask where the fishes come from, the mighty sushi master at the sushi bar is likely to annouce with great deal of pride that all his wonderful local selections come from Genkai.
So what is Genkai, you are likely to ask, as when I first heard this word from my sushi chef. If that is your question, congratulations to you, my friend. By asking that question, you have just marked yourself a click up of knowldge in enjoying this seemingly simple yet extremely sophisticated sushi culture.
Yet, before I get into the explanation of this one of the world's richest fishery oceans, let me show you some wonderful sushi pictures from the cusine artists in Fukuoka.
Enjoy the pictures, and I will come back to talk more about the rich Japanese culinary culture and my beloved sushi and sashimi. Yes, yes, I shall not forget my subject: we shall talk about Genkai as well.

Dear TokyoTracker, the sushi looks great which makes me hungry!! We all like Japanese food a lot, please tell us more of it.
Dear Visitor, thank you for the idea. I will try to scribble down whatever good stuff I come across. Tokyo is a city full of great food, great restaurants, wonderful culture and fun people. Not as good a writer as I like myself to be, I will do my best.
