Located just a 5-minute drive from the Tsuna Ichinomiya Interchange on the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway, I visited "BRONZE 2026," a restaurant recognized as one of the top sushi spots in 2025.I ordered the "Omakase Nigiri Course" (JPY 27,500, tax included).As I stepped through the noren curtain, my anticipation grew, and the course began. From white fish to tuna and seasonal delicacies, the flow of dishes beautifully highlighted the charm of each ingredient.First, I enjoyed a comparison of white fish. Starting with the classic "Tai" (Sea Bream) known for its refined umami, followed by "Akou," which offered a robust texture and sweetness. The skill and expertise of the chef were evident. Next, I savored the rich "Aburame" and the delicate, mild-tasting "Karei" (Flounder), fully appreciating the unique characteristics and textures of each white fish.The "Anago Kizami" (chopped eel) was fluffy and tender, perfectly complementing the sushi rice. The summer delicacy "Hamo" (Pike Conger) spread its elegant flavor, followed by the rich and flavorful "Shimaji" (Striped Jack), filling my mouth with umami.The highlight of sushi, tuna, began with the moist and deep-flavored "Akami," leading to the melt-in-your-mouth sweetness of "Toro" (fatty tuna). The crunchy texture and sweetness of "Kuruma Ebi" (sweet shrimp) combined with the rich umami of "Uni" (sea urchin) created a truly blissful moment.After a warm "Chawanmushi" (steamed egg custard) to catch my breath, we moved on to the second half featuring rolls and pressed sushi. The "Toro Taku" (fatty tuna and pickled radish roll) wrapped in crispy, flavorful nori was a perfect balance of the tuna's fat and the texture of the takuan. The rich taste of the "Unagi Oshi-zushi" (pressed eel sushi) was incredibly appetizing.For soup, I was treated to a luxurious "Matsutake Osuimono" (matsutake mushroom soup). The moment I opened the lid, the rich aroma of matsutake filled the air. To finish, I enjoyed the gently sweet "Tamago Maki" (egg roll) and the classic "Maki Sushi," leaving me completely satisfied.I had a truly delicious experience!
