I wanted to enjoy some delicious sushi, but I struggled with making reservations at a popular sushi restaurant and coordinating schedules with my companions. So, for the first time, I decided to go solo to a sushi restaurant. I visited Ichikawa in Shirokane Takanawa, which I had been eyeing for a while. I opted for the omakase course that starts at 18:00.I began with some appetizers:- Sashimi of Suzuki from Naruto- Sashimi of Tai from Naruto It was aged, rich, and delicious.- Sashimi of Shima Aji Lightly seared, it had a fragrant and delightful taste.- Abalone from Noto Soft and steamed, it was incredibly flavorful. The liver was also delicious.- Soup with Hamo and Junsai The broth was light yet packed with the umami of Hamo, making it exceptionally tasty. The Hamo itself had a tender texture and was very delicious.Then, I moved on to the nigiri:- Red meat tuna caught off the coast of Kozushima.- Chutoro- Otoro The top three hitters were all tuna, starting with the strongest player, Otani, just like the Dodgers lineup. I got to savor the rich flavor of aged tuna in three different forms.- Aori Ika with yuzu salt It had a sticky texture and was truly delicious.- Shinko It had a refreshing taste compared to Kohada.- Kuruma Ebi- Aji from Izumi, Kagoshima- Red Uni from Fukui It was incredibly creamy, and the umami of the uni spread throughout my mouth. It was the most impressive flavor of the day.- Marinated red meat You could taste the flavor of the marinade, and it was very delicious. You could really appreciate the skill involved.- Anago It had a rare texture, fluffy and very delicious.- Kanpyo Maki The kanpyo roll from a top-notch sushi restaurant is truly delicious and one of my favorites!- TamagoyakiEach piece of nigiri was not only made with high-quality ingredients, but you could also see the meticulous work put into each one. The chef kindly answered my questions as well.Dining with close friends is enjoyable, but solo sushi dining was also relaxing and nice. It was a great meal!
