Tokyo Shirokane's "Shimazu" is a popular sushi restaurant known for its young and talented chef who has gained recognition for his skills after establishing his own place.This restaurant is an independent venture of the chef who previously managed the sister restaurant "Ranmaru" of the popular "Linda" in Meguro. Here, you can enjoy delicious sushi with a light vinegared rice and generous portions that create a harmonious experience.The exterior has no sign, featuring an L-shaped counter with 8 seats, and the dining starts at 17:00 and 19:30.I had the pleasure of visiting for the first time thanks to a kind invitation.On this day, the tuna was fresh black tuna from Iwate, Yamada, featuring medium fatty tuna, marinated red meat, and fatty tuna, all of which were delightful. Despite being summer tuna, it was rich and had a mild acidity, making it very tasty."Shinko"The Shinko from Amakusa was served in three pieces, perfectly balanced with vinegar and aromatic, making for a delicious bite."Kappa Maki"The cucumber roll, ordered additionally, was filled with finely chopped cucumber, offering a soft yet crunchy texture and a refreshing cucumber aroma. The slightly flavorful vinegared rice made this "Kappa Mashi Maki" truly enjoyable."Shiroboshi Fue Dai"The Shibudai was rich and aromatic, and its light grip with the vinegared rice created a wonderful harmony, capturing my appetite from the very first piece.The "Iwashi Kujira Omi" without freezing and the grilled "Tachiuo" directly sourced from Tanegashima were also delicious.It was a great meal!Shirakami Sanchi's MizunaYaito Hata Shabu-shabuSimoda's Boiled OctopusKesennuma Bonito Tataki with Ginger Soy SauceIwashi Kujira OmiChiba's Black Abalone with Liver Sauce and freshly made riceGrilled Tachiuo with Bettara PicklesNigiri:Shiroboshi Fue DaiShima AjiShiro IkaAjiHaruko TaiIwate Yamada's Set Net Black TunaMedium Fatty Tuna, Marinated Red Meat, Fatty TunaAmakusa Shinko (3 pieces)Botan Ebi and Toyama Ebi with KombuAmakusa Red UniShijimi SoupAnagoAdd-ons:Raw Shiro Ika's TentaclesKappa Mashi MakiTamago YakiBrown Sugar GelatoBlack Tea (paired by the owner)
