This restaurant has received Tabelog Bronze and Michelin 2 stars multiple times.From the outside, it doesn’t look like a sushi restaurant; it almost resembles a pastry shop.The sushi is prepared by a disciple of Katsu Nakaji, who is active in both Tokyo and Milan, and is offered at an incredible price.I made a reservation about two months in advance and visited on a weekday at 1 PM.I enjoyed the Omakase course for JPY 8,800.Even though this is a great deal, they recently raised their prices due to inflation; before that, it was JPY 6,600!!!The menu for the day included:- Tuna Akami- Tuna Chutoro- Tuna Tartare (Akami and Chutoro) with Iburi Gakko- Sea Bream Roe and Winter Melon- Kohada- Aori Ika (Oita)- Kue (Nagasaki Iki)- Steamed Clams in Sake- Horse Mackerel (Shimane)- Snow Crab- Marinated Bonito- Bafun Uni (Hokkaido Nemuro)- Anago- Fish Soup- Kanpyo Maki- TamagoI had non-alcoholic beer to drink.What particularly impressed me were:- Chutoro: The tuna was sourced from Shimonoseki and weighed 130 kg. It’s rare to find tuna from Yamaguchi Prefecture. The sushi is served close to the tuna's body temperature, making the fat sweet and incredibly delicious.- Sea Bream Roe: Creamy with a gentle dashi flavor that was very tasty.- Kue: Aged for one month, it had a bouncy texture and was delicious with yuzu pepper.- Clams: Thick and crunchy, with an amazing umami flavor; this is sushi you don’t get to eat often.- Marinated Bonito: This might be my favorite bonito I’ve ever had. I was amazed at how sweet it was.- Bafun Uni: Rich and delicious. I loved that I could enjoy the uni without nori, just as it is.There are power outlets under the counter.They adjusted the amount of rice and even helped me with the timing for taking photos; the service was outstanding.Dessert was served on the second floor.I was surprised by the level of hospitality for a meal under JPY 10,000!The sweets included:- Fava Bean Gelato with Hokkaido Azuki- Cantuccini- Rooibos TeaThe fava bean flavor was prominent, and the sweetness was just right, making it very delicious.The second floor has sofas and is a truly relaxing space; it felt like being at home.I left feeling completely satisfied, both physically and mentally.I wouldn’t be surprised if they charged double the price; the cost performance and quality were shocking. It was absolutely wonderful.
