I was fortunate enough to be invited to a special seat here.The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building.From the moment you open the door, a unique and special atmosphere unfolds.The interior has a calm ambiance, and you can feel the strong attention to detail in the dishes and glassware.It was impressive how the presentation not only delighted the palate but also the eyes.One dish that particularly stood out was the tilefish.The balance of the acidity from the shallots and the aroma of the black shichimi was exquisite, creating a dish that transcends traditional Japanese cuisine.The grilled asparagus, charred to perfection over charcoal, paired wonderfully with the white miso and egg yolk sauce, making it a perfect accompaniment to drinks.The nigiri sushi respects traditional techniques while showcasing individuality in each piece, keeping it interesting until the last bite.The standout pieces for me were the tuna, salmon, and surf clam.You can truly appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the meticulous craftsmanship.The homemade gari (pickled ginger) also made a strong impression, offering a delightful taste that pairs well with drinks.This sushi restaurant embraces tradition while incorporating innovative ideas.I believe establishments with this style will gain even more attention in the future.I look forward to revisiting when the seasons change.
