"The Pride of Hokuriku Sushi"I have visited Fukui many times, but this was my first opportunity to make a reservation, finally aligning it with work commitments. 【Atmosphere】 The restaurant features a straight counter with only 9 seats. The elegant space exudes the chef's passion, almost like a breath of fresh air. 【Sushi Jube * Omakase Course Ordered】 ↓↓↓ Appetizers ◉ Mozuku seaweed from Fukui (with wasabi). ◉ Makogarei (flatfish) from Fukui and Torigai (bird shell) from Noto. ◉ Kuro-mutsu (blackthroat seaperch) from Toyama (with condiments and ponzu). ◉ Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) with hairy crab from Ishikawa. ◉ Tachiuo (beltfish) (with sudachi citrus). ↓↓↓ Nigiri ◉ Arare (from Fukui). ◉ Isaki (grunt fish from Himi). ◉ Shiro-ebi (white shrimp from Shinminato). ◉ Ken-saki ika (squid from Fukui). ◉ Aji (horse mackerel from Fukui). ◉ Akami (lean tuna). ◉ Ama-ebi (sweet shrimp). ◉ Tokishirazu (summer salmon from Hokkaido). ◉ Kitakuri shellfish. ◉ Murasaki uni (purple sea urchin) (gunkan style). ◉ Chutoro (medium fatty tuna). ◉ Negitoro (minced fatty tuna with green onion). ◉ Tamago (sweet egg omelet). ◉ Matcha blancmange. ↓↓↓ Additions ◉ Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch). ◉ Hoshinpo (dried gourd). 【Food Impressions】 I was pleasantly surprised by the slightly firm sushi rice. It was charming enough that from the appetizers to the nigiri, it was a parade of "Hokuriku's bounty," and just hearing the names Himi and Noto added a special touch. The skillful techniques of Edomae sushi were evident in every dish. Among them, the white shrimp and sweet shrimp burst with a clear sweetness and exquisite umami, leaving me in awe. The flow of the nigiri, with the uni following the akami and then the chutoro, was refreshingly unexpected. The classic matcha blancmange served at the end was smooth and gentle, providing a calm finish to the meal. 【Service】 The chef's warm gaze was memorable, and the same could be said for the apprentices, who exuded a human touch and warmth. Thanks to them, I enjoyed a pleasant time filled with hospitality from lunchtime. I hope to revisit in the fall. It was a great meal. Thank you for reading until the end. I would appreciate a like, follow, and saving the restaurant. Thank you!
