MEIJI by Hagakure Sushi In

Excellent food, top quality. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. Beautiful location, 2 steps from the center and with a soft lighting effect that makes the dinner suggestive. The only small negative note, the waiting time to receive the dishes. It must have been a coincidence, but if this detail is improved it is 5 stars.

Lovely place, best sushi in the region, very kind staff. By aromatica65

Culinary pearl located in Gallipoli a stone's throw from the sea; elegant and refined internal room that has the plus of having the sushiman's station in sight; intimate, relaxing and suggestive atmosphere obtained not only thanks to the soft lighting and pleasant background music but also to a splendid view of the Ionian Sea. Being a fusion restaurant, the menu ranges from dishes more easily linked to Japanese cuisine (sushi in all its variations) to dishes revisited in a more Western key that still maintain a link with the East either for the combination of ingredients or for the way in which they are treated and prepared. THE EXCELLENT QUALITY of the RAW MATERIALS used, THE FRESHNESS OF THE FISH, THE IMPECCABLE COOKING, THE SCENIC PRESENTATION of the dishes, THE COURTEOUS AND AVAILABLE SERVICE to meet the needs of the customer, make it one of the BEST PLACES in the city and absolutely worth trying.

Excellent restaurant, modern and welcoming environment with music selected by professionals in the sector. Top quality sushi, very varied and very fresh.

Refined, warm and welcoming place. Kumi-Fusion Restaurant delights its customers with excellent, high-quality dishes. Each dish is well structured, satisfying at first sight and delighting the palate. To brighten up your stay there is also a selected variety of cocktails, wines and bubbles to taste during a live show or after the meal. The staff is very kind, thoughtful and professional. I absolutely recommend it.

Through our real estate agent Caterina Magno from the Bonifazi agency, we met the extremely nice and charming Antonio, who helped us a lot with our first steps in our new home. Antonio speaks fluent German and is a very friendly and competent waiter in the “KUMI” restaurant in Gallipoli. And so it was no question for us that we would visit this restaurant for dinner. The website of the Japanese restaurant »KUMI« opens with the slogan “Sushi passion, made locally”. Furthermore, it can be read that the word “KUMI” “in Japanese means the interweaving and unification of elements that can create power and beauty. Overlooking the Ionian Sea... »KUMI« is a tribute to fusion cuisine that creates... beauty from the interweaving of distant gastronomic cultures linked by a love of the sea. “KUMI” is a very fine restaurant where the Japanese tradition and the treasures of the sea of ​​Gallipoli merge to create an irresistible beauty for the eyes and an unmistakable taste for the palate….” We can only confirm these words after our visit: You not only see, but you can actually feel that sushi is the world of “KUMI”. The dishes are of the utmost elegance and what the eye sees is confirmed when consumed. You experience a real taste explosion in your mouth, you feel how much love the dishes were prepared with, and you experience the incredible freshness of the ingredients used. In addition to great sushi creations, we also enjoyed excellent fillet of beef at “KUMI”. And so it’s not just sushi lovers who get their money’s worth at “KUMI”. The »KUMI« impresses without reservation with the excellent taste of the variations on offer, but also with its very stylish ambience and a great view of the sea. Antonio guided us through a wonderful and unforgettable evening with his kindness, his knowledge and his explanations of the different types of sushi. For sushi lovers, the “KUMI” in Gallipoli is an absolute MUST. We will spend our twilight years in Gallipoli from mid-2025, and we will certainly come to “KUMI” again and again, enjoy extravagant sushi & Co. and great wine and feel very comfortable there.
