Located on the 6th floor of a building just a 3-minute walk from Exit 7 of Azabu-Juban Station.The location is great!Moreover, I heard that they are already fully booked this year. Amazing...The interior features an L-shaped counter and private rooms.I attended a private reservation starting at 8 PM on this day.The course was JPY 50,000 plus a 10% service charge.What surprised me was that all the staff were women. It seems it just happened that way, not by design.As a result, the atmosphere of the restaurant is incredibly soft.This is completely different from the traditional sushi restaurants run by male chefs.There’s a unique ambiance that only women can create, which feels quite refreshing.The chef, Wataori, mentioned that she is not fond of greasy foods, so the dishes generally started with vegetables, and the fish was not overly fatty, but rather clean and refreshing.The nigiri is smaller and easier to eat compared to the ones from the head chef of "Sushi Arai."Although there were relatively many pieces, I was able to finish them all.Wataori left an impression of being quite strong-willed, typical of women from Kitakyushu, which might differ from her photos.Here are the dishes we enjoyed:- Tuna and herb spring rolls- Eggplant somen with junsai- Octopus- Botan shrimp- Seasonal vegetable and fish terrine- Mirugai and shidoke- Fried kohada- Gari and cucumberNigiri:- Flatfish- White squid- Ark shell- Baby clams- Horse mackerel- Sweet shrimp- Lean tuna- Medium fatty tuna- Fatty tuna- Kohada- Ohagi- Sea urchin- Anago- Gourd roll- Clam soup- EggIn the end, I ended up enjoying some wine, and with beer and shochu, the total came to about JPY 59,000.With all staff being women, the atmosphere was very soft, and I felt comfortable throughout my visit. It was a great meal!*For more detailed insights with photos, check out my blog. I also introduce many other restaurants.
