I visited this renowned sushi restaurant on a weekday evening after making an online reservation as part of my journey to explore Japan's top dining establishments. This restaurant has separate reservation slots for the head chef and his apprentices, and I found it relatively easier to secure a spot with the apprentices compared to other GOLD establishments.Upon entering, I noticed there are 14 seats, and this place truly stands as one of the finest sushi restaurants in Japan.During my reservation, I ordered the "Omakase Course" from Mr. Usui and added the "Maguro no Ohagi" (tuna rice ball), along with a selection of alcoholic beverages primarily featuring Japanese sake.The sushi prepared by the next generation of apprentices embodies the head chef's solid philosophy, showcasing the finest ingredients and refined techniques honed through rigorous practice. Each piece of sushi served boasts a high level of perfection, reflecting the remarkable quality inherited from this prestigious lineage. Among the highlights were the uni and tuna, but I was particularly impressed by the hotaru ika (firefly squid), sawara (Spanish mackerel), and kasugo dai (young sea bream)!I will definitely visit again! It was a great meal!
