This marks my 83rd visit.While some have pointed out that my explanations about my dining approach are unnecessary, as someone who has visited without any prior knowledge and made numerous mistakes, I feel it’s important to continue sharing this information.So, as a seasoned patron of "Sushi Josuke," let me start with the essential dining etiquette:1. Make reservation calls outside of business hours! Since Mr. Josuke does not have any apprentices, he personally answers the reservation calls, and doing so during business hours disrupts the flow.2. Answering your mobile phone (even if you step away) is a taboo! This is not just a rule for Josuke.3. Eat the sushi promptly after it’s served! This is common sense for regulars! The sushi is served at the perfect temperature, so timing is crucial.4. Go to the restroom only when you have time after eating your sushi and before the next serving! This is also to maintain the serving pace.If you follow these guidelines, you won’t be seen as the eccentric person rumored about!I arrived at the restaurant after walking from Sannomiya Station via the Kitano-zaka route!Despite the low temperature during the rainy season, the humidity made me sweat by the time I reached the restaurant!I met up with a friend who was visiting for the second time and we entered the restaurant!"Welcome!"As always, the aroma of cypress and red vinegar filled the air!I ordered a drink!Here’s the record of my experience in the Josuke world that unfolded:【Appetizers】- Sea Bream- Tender Octopus- Small Horse Mackerel- Salmon Roe Miso Marinade- Monkfish Liver- Bonito- Small Sawara Rice Bowl- Conger Eel- Mozuku Seaweed【Sushi】- Squid- Whiting- Trout- Horse Mackerel- Simmered Clam- Tuna①- Skipjack Tuna- Tuna②- Small Clam Gunkan- Simmered Scallop- White Shrimp- Sea Urchin- Simmered Conger Eel with Salt- Red Miso Soup- EggWhile observing Mr. Josuke’s professional techniques, I indulged in the blissful experience of the most perfectly seasoned rice and the harmony of the toppings!Today, the tuna was particularly excellent.Sushi Josuke is the only choice.Currently, Tabelog rating: 4.21.
