Shirogane Nishida
白金にし田
Intricate, subtle yet sophisticated. These words not only describe the beautiful traditional dishes of Shirogane Nishida but the character of the master chef himself. With a passion to present the best of Fukuoka with an impressive culinary resume, Chef Shingo Nishida brings the region’s seasonal flavors to life.
After years of training with top kitchens, Nishida opened his small little restaurant in the center of his hometown of Fukuoka, just by the bustling Nakasu district. As you turn onto the quiet street, you spot a building with a cream yellow wall with no windows or signs. By the open entryway, you notice a little foot lamp with the restaurant’s name, and a small bamboo window that leads you to the hidden door. Beautifully minimalist, you are quietly drawn into to the still space.
A long counter made of smooth gingko wood stretches across the room. The interior appears simple but is full of intricate details like strips of bamboo mounted on the corner of the ceiling. There is a lovely private room in the back for families or groups to enjoy their time together. To extend a warm welcome, the chef himself arranges all the vases of fresh flowers you can find around the restaurant.
“I try to put myself in the guest’s shoes,” Nishida says. “It helps me to come up with ideas that make their experience special.”

SAKE
To reflect the wide clientele, including those from overseas, the restaurant collects a range of sake, both famous brands as well as new and rare finds. A local favorite, Kuroryu, or Black Dragon, has a sharp and clean note that complements with Nishida’s delicate cuisine. The wine list is also diverse, starting with famous Champagnes to some boutique vineyards. Among their favorites are wines from Kenzo Estate in Napa, California, offering a series of unique wines such as Rindo, Asuka and Asatsuyu.
