Sushi Obana is a family run sushiya in Gunma ( 90 mins north of Tokyo ) . The husband and wife team deliver one of the best sushi experiences you could possibly imagine. Humour and warmth is their style of hospitality, and the quality of the Edomae style sushi is astonishing.
Bookings are hard to come by as Obana is not accepting new customers so find someone to bring you along !! It is perhaps the best sushiya I have been and it is definitely my favourite .

It’s easy to focus on the marquee names in a meal like this , #1 boxes of Uni or incredible Tuna from Yamayuki , but there was simply a lot to love .

The best awabi steamed for 4 hours , the flavour had deeply amplified .
Seneka ( tuna back ) had great soft texture .
Shimofuri aged for 2 weeks was absolutely luscious .
First time having Nakazumi ( grown up Kohada ) was also a highlight .
The secret ikura which was a reddish/grey had deep saltiness and a vastly different texture .
This did also start my love affair with aka uni , the quality of aka uni over the last few days has been phenomenal.
Also a fun vegetable nigiri with mustard greens and daikon sprouts, I really could go on and on ….

晴耕雨読 (Seikoudoku in Uji, Kyoto)

The mega-highly ranked Seikoudoku in Uji is one of the most popular soupless tantanmen ramen shops in Japan. They are a “legend” shop, having been given the top awards by everyone who makes awards. As Uji is a bit of a slog from central Kyoto, the ramen nerds amongst us need to plan for this one. We rented a car and drove down.

I'm currently breaking down the Top 100 #hyakumeiten #百名店 shops from around Japan. This one is 35/100 on the West Japan list.

Full writeup on the #ramenadventures website. For all my #ramen posts head over there. Links are in the bio. Let's #slurp @ramenadventures
