🇯🇵
lovely dining experience here, under the hands of a super bubbly and welcoming team which gave a super comfortable and warm ambience which i find rare in japanese restaurant scenes.
tsumamis were simple but tasty, highlights being the tako and fatty kue, mini fugu shirako don and half of a seikokani deshelled and full of roe. for nigiris, love the strong akazu in the shari which is completely up my alley, his kawahagi was divine, chutoro was definitely the top piece this trip. kohada was savoury balanced with the right acidity, and ended with a stellar piece of unagi. tamago here was also outstanding, rich custardy almost cake like, shamelessly had 2 and wanted more. ankimo maki was delightful, and so was his the milk ice-cream to end. so warm, so friendly and i felt so at ease, not pretentious, great food and at a very humble price point which is so rare in tokyo dining scenes. a real gem in shirokanedai, super young and talented taisho, highly recommended for the great cospa and quality.
