Just a 6-minute walk from Tohoku-zawa Station, I had the pleasure of attending Chef Nishizaki's gathering at Sushi Nishizaki after a long time! Invited to a private counter seat, we enjoyed a sushi girls' party with four of us. We had a delightful time savoring delicious sushi.**Omakase****Appetizers**▫️ Young Ayu with Arima Sauce and Cucumber ▫️ Iwa Mozuku ▫️ Sardine ▫️ Matsukawa Flounder ▫️ Water Octopus ▫️ Water Eggplant with Yamato Mustard ▫️ Black Clam ▫️ Edamame and Sea Urchin Steamed Dish ▫️ Grilled Sawara ▫️ Simmered Eel **Nigiri**▫️ Spring Sea Bream ▫️ Whiting ▫️ Squid ▫️ Mexican Horse Mackerel ▫️ Young Horse Mackerel ▫️ Marinated Red Meat ▫️ Medium Fatty Tuna ▫️ Botan Shrimp ▫️ Bonito ▫️ Sea Urchin ▫️ Anago (Sea Eel) ▫️ Tamago (Egg)The structure of the meal started with appetizers and continued to nigiri, making it an enjoyable omakase from start to finish.Among the dishes, the "ankimo" (monkfish liver) we had in the first half was exceptionally delicious. Honestly, I think it’s the best ankimo I’ve ever had! It has a rich umami flavor that makes you want to take another bite.In the nigiri section, the classic "squid" was particularly impressive. It was served in a mille-feuille style, thinly layered, and melted in your mouth. You could really feel the craftsmanship that Chef Nishizaki puts into his sushi, showcasing the deliciousness of the squid.The chef is meticulous with each piece, and watching him work from across the counter is quite impressive. He also has a playful side, cracking jokes that make us laugh. That contrast is enjoyable, and I always find myself relaxed by his surreal humor, making the time fly by.Thank you for another delicious and enjoyable experience. I look forward to visiting again!
