I made a reservation at this restaurant as a way to repay my parents for my first salary, and it turned out to be a memorable experience. To put it simply, I was absolutely right to choose this place.The course priced at JPY 22,000 included 13 pieces of sushi along with some light appetizers, and the quality was impeccable. However, the true value of this restaurant lies in the "density of craftsmanship" that exceeds the price.The sushi rice was perfectly seasoned with vinegar, and the moment it touched my palate, I could feel the essence of Edomae sushi. The sharp acidity harmonized beautifully with each piece of fish. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, from the hidden cuts to the shrimp, which were peeled right in front of us from their shells. The experience of tasting the shrimp head and tail separately was truly remarkable.The sardine melted in my mouth with its silky texture, the bonito had a bold flavor with a hint of the aroma from being grilled over straw, and the eel was cooked delicately to the point of falling apart. The extra fatty tuna I ordered after the course was an exceptional way to conclude the meal.Both the service and the sushi were on a level that set them apart from anything I had experienced before. My parents were also very pleased. I believe there was no better way to spend my first salary.
