Once again, I enjoyed a spacious private counter, allowing me to savor everything from appetizers to sushi at a leisurely pace. Every visit confirms that this is truly an exceptional restaurant! Chef **Hidefumi Namba**’s dedication is evident not only in the carefully selected ingredients but also in his meticulous approach to the rice. - The rice temperature is generally set between 36–39°C, slightly warmer than body temperature, and he uses both white and red rice depending on the topping, adjusting the amount of sauce applied with precision.- He clearly distinguishes between toppings that should remain cold and those that should be served warm.- For example, the sweet shrimp and anago (conger eel) are served at a higher temperature, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.This meticulous design translates into a delightful experience that goes beyond theory—it's truly remarkable! ★☆ Each visit brings new discoveries and emotions, reaffirming that this is one of Japan's premier sushi establishments. It was a great meal! ◆Omakase◇ JPY 48,000, tax Included *Service charge not included *☆ indicates sushi and rice dishes - Junsai, abalone, and aoyagi - True octopus from Sajima - Kinmedai (golden eye snapper) simmered - Tail meat of nitari whale - Sardine roll topped with shrimp soboro - Baby spear squid - Anko (monkfish liver) - Bluefin tuna wrapped in okaki nori - Anago from Tsushima - Shirauo (whitebait)☆ - Mahata☆ - Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) with clams from Kisarazu - Hokkigai (surf clam)☆ - Spring sea bream☆ - Horse mackerel☆ - Bonito☆ - Steamed abalone - Sea urchin rice☆ The rice is mixed with the leftover sauce from the steamed abalone, topped with both purple and bafun sea urchin. - Botan shrimp☆ - Lean tuna☆ - O-toro (fatty tuna)☆ - Kohada (gizzard shad)☆ - Simmered anago☆ - Tamago (egg) - Kinmedai red miso soup ◆Add-ons◇ - Premium Draft Beer, Jukusen Asahi Beer - Kuro-ryu Junmai Daiginjo Gohyakumangoku (seasonal) Fukui Prefecture, Kuro-ryu Brewery - Toichi Junmai Daiginjo Shizuku Shibori Saga Prefecture, Gochida Brewery - Tosa Shiragiku Zankara Tokubetsu Junmai Kochi Prefecture, Sendou Brewery - Kinkenichi Chokarakuchi Junmai Ginjo Genshu Miyagi Prefecture, Onuma Brewery
