Note: My rating takes into account not only the taste of the dishes but also the chef's personality, cost performance, and various other factors.【Reservation】 I made a reservation through a cancellation slot. This restaurant is extremely difficult to book, so I’m always on the lookout for any openings.【Dining Style】 Just two of us, friends.【Dishes Ordered and Prices, Especially Delicious Dishes】 The sushi course was JPY 37,000, and the take-away anago bento was JPY 6,000, totaling JPY 43,000. I also had a little Japanese sake, which my friend treated me to. While the price might seem high at first glance, considering the quality of the ingredients and how well they are prepared, I believe it’s quite reasonable. Every dish was delicious, and if served at another restaurant, they could easily be the star of the menu. Among them, the dishes that stood out as particularly delicious today were:- Clam Soup The cooking of the clams was exceptional, and the harmony of olive oil and the aroma of sansho was remarkable. The level of perfection is something you won’t find elsewhere.- Returning Bonito The fat content was outstanding, and the natural umami of the bonito was rich, pairing well with the onion sauce. If the bonito had a weaker flavor, it would be overpowered by the sauce, but that’s not the case here, thanks to the chef’s exquisite sense.- Fried Mejikari Frying concentrated the umami of the white fish, making it so perfect that eating mejikari elsewhere feels unsatisfactory.- Anko Liver on French Bread The combination of the fragrant French bread and the rich, creamy anko liver was innovative.- Kasugodai The fat content and tender texture were wonderful; I don’t think there are many places where you can enjoy kasugodai at this level.- O-toro The balance of the refined sweetness of the fat and the inherent umami of the tuna was excellent, truly top-notch.- Kinmedai The fat content was so good that it was hard to believe it was kinmedai, and the balance with the flesh's umami was perfect; it was the most delicious dish of the day.- Donchicchi Horse Mackerel I had the opportunity to try this fish at various restaurants during this season, but the taste here was on another level.【Staff Service and Response】 Chef Toyonaga was very friendly and entertaining as always. Since it was right after the World Cup match between Japan and Brazil, he was in high spirits throughout the evening. His apprentice, Saki, couldn’t quite keep up with his energy, but the two made a great team.【Atmosphere of the Restaurant】 The interior has a calm Japanese ambiance. It’s spacious and comfortable to sit in.【Cost Performance】 It offers exceptional cost performance.【Will I Visit Again?】 I will definitely return.
