Hatsunezushi, a long-established sushi restaurant with over 130 years of history in Kamata.It is also listed among the top 100 sushi restaurants on Tabelog, and I had the pleasure of visiting this highly sought-after place, which is difficult to reserve.I experienced the reasonably priced omakase course for JPY 8,800, prepared by the apprentice chef.The sushi rice is finished right in front of you after you take your seat.It took only 30 minutes from the time I sat down until the first piece of sushi was served.It was a quick wait, but the unique presentation was unlike anything I had experienced before.Once the rice was ready, we began with a tasting of the rice itself.It's a rare opportunity to purely savor just the rice, making for a refreshing experience!▪️ Red Meat▪️ Chutoro▪️ Tuna Tataki The edge of the chutoro is pounded and mixed with iburigakko.▪️ Kohada Not shiny! This kohada has been aged for 5 to 7 days. It is pressed to highlight its umami flavor.▪️ Hirame▪️ Aori Ika▪️ Aji▪️ Sake-steamed Clams▪️ Snow Crab▪️ Marinated Bonito They say it’s prepared in the same way as in the Edo period!▪️ Sea Urchin▪️ Anago from Tsushima▪️ Gourd Roll▪️ Clear Soup with SomenDessert is served in a separate room with a Western-style ambiance.▪️ Dessert Fava Bean Gelato Cut Tini Rooibos TeaIt was a truly unique sushi experience, and it was fantastic.It was a great meal!
