Restaurant Details
Tanagura is a small inland town in Fukushima Prefecture with a big secret: one of the region’s top sushi restaurants calls it home. If you’re traveling up to the north of Japan, make sure to stop off here for a sushi dinner the way.

Although the location may be somewhat off the beaten track, those who make the trip here won’t be disappointed, with something to surprise even the most seasoned sushi connoisseur.
