I visited Sushi Dokoro Yamato, located just 2 minutes from Tsukiji Station. This restaurant is run by Mr. Yasui, who honed his skills at Sugita, and even the noren (curtain) features the Sugita name. I entered about 5 minutes ago and started with a beer (Hearthland) while waiting for my meal to begin.I began with appetizers, starting with sea bass and followed by octopus. What particularly stood out among the appetizers were the ankimo (monkfish liver) and grilled eel, which paired wonderfully with the rich Masu-sen's Kijyo sake that they serve to everyone. The grilled eel had just the right amount of saltiness and was so flavorful that it could easily compete with what you’d find at an eel specialty restaurant. They have a unique style where you can order additional appetizers, so I added some kazunoko (herring roe) to enjoy as a side with my drinks.After enjoying such high-quality appetizers, my anticipation for the nigiri was high.The nigiri was particularly impressive, especially the striped jack, young sea bream, and simmered scallops. The striped jack was in season and had a rich layer of fat. The young sea bream was incredibly soft and fluffy, practically melting in your mouth with a hint of saltiness. The simmered scallops, which had been meticulously prepared, melted away as soon as they touched my tongue.Overall, the quality was high, and many dishes brought me bliss with every bite. It seems they will be relocating to Hachobori in July, and I look forward to visiting their new place next time.【Appetizers】◾️ Sea Bass ◾️ Octopus ◾️ Flat Shell Clam and Amela Tomato ◾️ Squid Ears with Pepper Oil ◾️ Clam Chawanmushi ◾️ Ankimo, Japanese-style XO Sauce, Hirako Sardine ◾️ Grilled Eel ◾️ (Additional) Kazunoko 【Nigiri】◾️ Sea Bream ◾️ Cuttlefish ◾️ Striped Jack ◾️ Bonito ◾️ Young Sea Bream ◾️ Tuna ◾️ Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna) ◾️ Horse Mackerel ◾️ Hime Masu (Princess Char) ◾️ Sweet Shrimp ◾️ Purple Sea Urchin ◾️ Simmered Scallops ◾️ (Additional) Island Shrimp ◾️ (Additional) Amberjack ◾️ (Additional) Dried Gourd ◾️ Egg 【Sake】Hearthland, Izumigawa, Jikon, Senkin (customized for Yamato), Suminokawa, Katsukoma
