I revisited Mitani, which has won the Tabelog Award GOLD multiple times. Congratulations on achieving GOLD again in 2026!The restaurant is located about a 4-minute walk from Yotsuya Station on the Chuo Line. It had been a while since my last visit, and sitting at the beautiful wooden counter filled me with excitement.Here’s what I enjoyed this time:○ Bafun Uni from Yoichi with Kuzu and Dashi Soy Sauce ○ Grilled Akamutsu from Yaizu ○ Botan Ebi from Funka Bay ○ Tuna sliced like prosciutto with Nakatsugawa caviar ○ Fried Kuro-mutsu ○ Abalone from Ohara with liver sauce ○ Katsuo steak with Katsuo-bushi chips ○ Meat and miso from hairy crab, whipped bafun uni, and crab cream croquette Nigiri:○ Aori Ika from Yamaguchi ○ Mako-garei ○ Shiro-ebi ○ Ooma Tuna (Hagashi) ○ Ooma Tuna (Marinated Red Meat) ○ Tekka Maki ○ Kinmedai from Yaizu ○ Aomori Uni (Daisen) ○ Anago ○ Anago with salt ○ Uni Nori Maki ○ Sukeroku ○ Kanpyo Maki ○ Ara ○ Tamago Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed the expertly crafted appetizers and nigiri.The mildly flavored rice, with its balanced acidity, beautifully enhances the contours of the toppings.In the nigiri selection, the various types of tuna were exceptional. The photo I took shows how beautifully the fatty part of the tuna melts in your mouth when paired with the vinegared rice. The marinated tuna had a consistent color and retained the rich flavor of the red meat.I savored sushi that left a lingering umami sensation.It was a great meal. Although it’s a difficult restaurant to reserve, I definitely want to visit again.Cafe Mocha Man Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cafemocao?igsh=MWJ5bDlncTZrcjJwZQ%3D%3D&utm_source=q
