On this day, there was a Level 4 heavy rain warning. I made it to Gaienmae Station, but with torrential rain pouring down, I wondered how I would get to the restaurant from there. First, I decided to head to a Seven-Eleven, where I spotted my friend casually walking in the rain. With newfound determination, I jumped into the downpour.It was just a 2-minute walk to the restaurant, but even with an umbrella, I was completely soaked. Once I arrived, relieved to be there, I ended up drinking too much again that day. A moment of reflection.Even though it was summer, exquisite tuna made an appearance. It was frozen, but perhaps it was saved just for this day? Well, a famous chef was at the counter, which was a lucky surprise.Despite the rain, everyone arrived on time and took their seats at the counter. We started with medium fatty tuna. Ah, the balance between the rice and the fish was just perfect.The appetizers were also creatively prepared, which was delightful.Next time will be in February. With a one-turn limit on Saturdays, it’s quite difficult to make reservations for each season. That said, I ended up tipsy and forgot whether I had my umbrella or not. I need to be careful not to get banned. Next time, instead of sharing Japanese sake, I’ll order a half serving to drink at my own pace. Or maybe I’ll switch to wine…☆ Appetizers ♢ Sushi♢ Medium Fatty Tuna (175.4kg from Tsuruga, frozen by Yamako)☆ Hon-Ara with wasabi and sea salt☆ Fried conger eel☆ Egg tofu with corn jelly☆ Mega abalone steamed in sake☆ Grilled eel and white grilled eel☆ Fried sweetfish with grated daikon☆ Kudzu noodles with karasumi and grated daikon♢ Squid♢ Botan shrimp♢ Bonito♢ Tempura♢ Medium Fatty Tuna (back fat)♢ Fatty Tuna♢ Small skin♢ Red sea urchin (Amakusa)♢ Cucumber maki♢ Egg☆ SoupAdditional:♢ Kappa maki【Drinks】We shared one serving of Japanese sake between two people.- Sudachi Sour- Banshu Ikko Junmai- Gozen Sake 1859 Junmai- Buyu Karakuchi Junmai- Kamo Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo- Hakurakusei Tokubetsu Junmai- Kudoki Jouzu Junmai Daiginjo
