I made a reservation through Tablecheck and visited the restaurant. The entrance of the building had an unexpected vibe, but once I climbed the stairs, I found a beautiful sushi restaurant inside.On this day, I ordered a course that included five appetizers followed by sushi. The appetizers were simple yet creatively prepared, and I particularly enjoyed the bonito sashimi marinated in vinegar, which was a unique experience for me.The owner, Mr. Numazato, seems to have learned sushi on his own, and the balance between the slightly firm rice and the toppings was excellent—everything was delicious.He was quite friendly, and I had a wonderful time. The selection of drinks was extensive, and I tried quite a few. Pairing the small horse mackerel with the aromatic Kiku Masamune sake in a pack was a refreshing twist. Overall, I believe this restaurant represents the best of sushi in Saitama in terms of taste, atmosphere, and quality.(Appetizers)- Sea Bream Sashimi- Grilled Eel- Soup with Pike Eel and Eggplant- Bonito Sashimi marinated in vinegar- Grilled Biwa Trout(Sushi)- Grouper- Flounder- Lean Tuna- Medium Fatty Tuna Roll- Small Horse Mackerel- Horse Mackerel- Cuttlefish- Surf Clam- Purple Sea Urchin- Sweet Shrimp- Conger Eel- Egg(Extras)- Sardine- Pacific Saury- Gourd Roll
