"Sushi Namba"This was my seventh visit.While the sushi at Namba is undoubtedly delicious, the appetizers this time were truly exceptional.Here’s what I enjoyed:【Omakase Course JPY 45,000】◇ Abalone, Mekabu, and Junsai - Refreshingly perfect for summer.◇ Nitalikujira - Rich sweetness and well-marbled fat.◇ Simmered Kinmedai from Nemuro - Concentrated umami, simply exquisite. The broth was delicious too.◇ Sazima Octopus.◇ Fried Anajakko - This was my first time trying fried shrimp, and it paired wonderfully with drinks.◇ Sardine Gari Maki - A light and refreshing palate cleanser.◇ Simmered Tachiuo - The peppercorns added a nice accent, perfectly complementing the rich flesh.◇ Fried Tuna with Okaki - Accompanied by wasabi leaf and nori, this dish was a delightful play of aroma and texture.◇ Grilled Sea Eel with Amakusa White Grilling - Micro herbs added a beautiful touch to the presentation.Each dish was meticulously prepared, showcasing different expressions that enhanced the enjoyment of my drinks.◆ Shiratori Ika (Saga) - Creamy sweetness.◆ Mako Karei (Edo-mae) - Elegant fat.◆ Hiragai (Aichi) - The aroma and texture of the shellfish were superb.◆ Haruko Tai - Delicate flavor.◆ Aji (Kitakyushu) - Refreshing yet rich in fat.◆ Katsuo (Kochi) - Moist and flavorful, served with onion and salt.◆ Steamed Abalone - Tender and moist, topped with a rich sauce and sea urchin (Oita). The combination of rich sea urchin and sweetness was outstanding.◆ Botan Ebi - The size of the botan ebi was astonishing, and it was incredibly delicious.◆ Akami.◆ Chutoro - Frozen winter Ooma tuna, thawed at Yamakou. Both akami and toro were wonderfully flavorful.◆ Kohada - A classic Edo-mae style, with oboro as an accent.◆ Anago - Fluffy flesh, and the sauce was delicious.Additions:◆ Sea Urchin.◆ New Squid.For wine, I had:White: Michel Niellon Montrachet,Red: Domaine Lécheneault Nuits-Saint-Georges “Au Choullet” Vieilles Vignes 2021.The red wine had a nice balance of maturity and refined fruitiness, pairing well with both the appetizers and the sushi.I was pleased to see the wine selection elevated, especially since the sushi was so delicious. Each visit gives me a refreshing sense of uprightness, and I look forward to returning. It was a great meal!
