Since its opening, it has gained a lot of attention and quickly became a difficult reservation spot for sushi lovers. The restaurant features a platinum seating arrangement with only 8 seats, making it quite exclusive for new reservations. It had been a while since my last visit, and the appetizers were absolutely fantastic, leaving me in awe. The whale tail meat was tender yet had a firm texture, with just the right amount of sweetness from the fat, while the abalone liver sauce was rich and paired perfectly with the rice, making it a delightful experience. I started with the white sweet sea bream for the nigiri. It’s such a joy to enjoy new squid and newborn sea urchin during this season. Even during the challenging summer months, the quality of the tuna served here showcases the exceptional sourcing skills of Shimazu. The sea urchin was delicious, but the red sea urchin was out of this world! Its flavor was mind-blowing... I want to eat it again...This is the best sushi restaurant that never fails to impress! It was a great meal!
