For sushi lovers in Ginza, "Sushi Arai" is a place that many dream of visiting at least once. This time, I enjoyed the omakase course prepared by Chef Yuki Usui! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt a mix of tension and excitement in the air. The atmosphere alone is special, but once the dishes began to arrive, I was amazed by the exceptional quality that exceeded my expectations.▼ Here are the main highlights of what I had:・Yamato Clam A gentle start with a rich umami flavor that fills your mouth.・Ankimo with Nara Pickles The deep richness combined with the aroma of Nara pickles creates a perfect harmony, making you crave Japanese sake.・Firefly Squid Namero Concentrated flavors that pair excellently with drinks.・Sea Bream, Striped Horse Mackerel, Young Sea Bream Beautifully crafted nigiri that carefully brings out the unique characteristics of each fish.・Red Meat, Chutoro, Otoro The temperature control and melt-in-your-mouth texture of the tuna were outstanding, especially the chutoro, which was truly impressive.・Purple Sea Urchin Rich yet with a beautiful aftertaste, leaving a luxurious lingering flavor.・Kanpyo Roll A high level of quality that remains memorable even towards the end of the course.The shari (sushi rice) had a noticeable presence of red vinegar without being too sharp, perfectly harmonizing with the toppings. The flow from appetizers to nigiri was beautifully executed, and the more I ate, the more immersed I became. This was truly a special experience to fully appreciate the charm of Ginza sushi!
