I visited Ueda, located about a 10-minute taxi ride from Kanayama Station, nestled in a quiet residential area.This restaurant is run by the second-generation chef, who has honed his skills at prestigious kaiseki restaurants in Osaka and renowned tea kaiseki establishments in Nagoya.With a Michelin three-star rating, it stands as the pinnacle of Edomae sushi in Nagoya, making it an incredibly sought-after destination for food enthusiasts across the country.♦︎ A special space dedicated to each piece of sushi ── The interior consists of only six seats, creating a refined atmosphere filled with a sense of elegance.This is not a place for lively gatherings; instead, it offers a unique tension to quietly appreciate the beautiful sushi crafted by the chef.The warm and attentive service from the chef enhances the wonderful ambiance, allowing one to feel the pride of a true artisan.♦︎ The menu I enjoyed ── 【Chutoro】 【Otoro】 【Kohada】 【Saki Ika】 【Haruko】 【Kuruma Ebi】 【Uni】 【Zuke Maguro】 【Aji】 【Anago】 【Negitoro】 【Hirame Maki】 【Tamago】♦︎ The exquisitely refined nigiri and overall impressions ── Starting with a minimalist approach that eliminates unnecessary elements, the unique rhythm of serving Chutoro as the first piece is remarkable.The balance of the rice's acidity and its exquisite melt-in-your-mouth texture is truly a testament to the chef's skill.Each piece, from the perfectly cooked Kuruma Ebi to the meticulously prepared squid, boasts an overwhelming level of excellence.This restaurant represents the pinnacle of Japanese culinary culture, where one can encounter a beautifully delicious and aesthetically pleasing evolution of sushi.It was a great meal.Thank you for reading to the end, from the reviewer "Instagram@_1show". I appreciate all your likes, follows, and saves for the restaurant.
