I had a business trip to Toyama and was looking for a Japanese restaurant that I could visit alone, so I made a reservation for lunch at Oryori Fujii and decided to arrive in Toyama the day before!I had wanted to visit Fujii for a while, so I arrived a bit early and found my favorite Japanese sake, Masu-sen, next door. I spent some time looking at the sake before my meal began.They serve it in shots!*Location: 93 Higashi-Iwase-machi, Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture *Access: 10-minute walk from Toyama Chitetsu Toyama Port Line, Keirinjo-mae Station ■ The Tabelog Award 2026 Silver Winner ■ Selected as one of the Top 100 Japanese Restaurants in WEST by Tabelog 2025 ■ Tabelog rating at the time of visit: 4.39 As I entered the restaurant, I was guided to a wonderful counter seat with a view of the beautiful garden!Here’s what I enjoyed (including one drink): *Yamada Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo, 35% polished rice -Platinum heat-treated, half serving ● Lotus Tofu served in a helmet-shaped container ● White Shrimp Yuba ● Sashimi -Nanao Bay natural Akagai (red clam) -Sea Bream from Toyama Bay *Junmai Ginjo Masu-sen ● Himi's natural Masuzushi (sushi with trout) in stick form -One served raw and one grilled ● Hassun (seasonal appetizer) -Fish paste and egg -Snap peas -Chimaki with flounder marinated in vinegar -Jako (dried young sardines) with Man-gaji pepper -Sazae (turban shell) from Shinminato -Fava beans -Monaka (wafer cake) *Masu-sen Tsuu Junmai, 2 years aged ● Grilled Sakura Masu (cherry salmon) over charcoal ● New potatoes with okra and sweet shrimp ● New onions ● Rice ● Platinum ice cream ● Wagashi (Japanese sweets) - Kashiwa Mochi Here are my impressions! The hospitality from the head chef, his apprentices, and the staff was truly wonderful!The restaurant's garden and the fantastic view from the counter provided a relaxing atmosphere!The dishes were made with seasonal, high-quality ingredients from Toyama and were incredibly delicious! Especially the large Akagai was so much better than the ones I’ve had in Tokyo or Osaka!There was a great variety of Masu-sen sake to enjoy as well! I definitely want to return during the winter when Himi's yellowtail is in season!☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★ Thank you for visiting and reading until the end!
