Sushi Shunji is the top disciple of Saito-san, who supported the golden era of Sushi Saito. Since becoming independent, he has been rapidly gaining recognition, winning Tabelog Silver and international awards.Combining the essence of Sushi Saito with his own originality, the rice served immediately upon entering is mildly flavored with red vinegar and has a slightly firm texture, making it versatile. However, what sets this sushi restaurant apart from others in Tokyo is its dedication to sourcing fresh, morning-caught fish from various regions across Japan, including Hokkaido, Ehime, Kyushu, and Toyama, all delivered by air.With an aquarium in the restaurant and the practice of performing nerve-stunning techniques, it is quite rare to find a sushi restaurant in Tokyo that offers such fresh fish, especially in the Edomae style. The moment you taste it, the texture and vitality of the fish are astonishingly different, making it truly a unique sushi experience.Additionally, the beautifully presented appetizers and the entertainment of having the freshly prepared fish right in front of you, combined with the warm hospitality of Shunji-san, elevate the service to a top-tier level.On this day, I enjoyed the unique flavor of deep-fried sweet shrimp soaked in a broth of carrot and onion, the nigiri of abalone steamed with its liver, and the seasonal nigiri of salmon roe, all of which were exceptional.Starting this May, Shunji will open an auberge in Toyama, and he plans to focus on winter operations there! I would love to visit the auberge in Toyama as well!Moreover, there is an opportunity to donate to the "Marine Resource Protection" initiative, allowing sushi lovers to contribute to the preservation of future sushi during their visit.◆ Appetizers ◇ Nigiri ◆ Clam Dashi Chawanmushi ◆ Rock Oyster ◆ Tempura of Kiss Fish ◆ Freshly Cut Sushi Rice ◆ Sea Snail with Liver ◆ Fig with White Miso ◆ Braised Tuna Belly ◇ Flatfish ◇ Baby Fish ◇ Steamed Abalone ◇ Purple Sea Urchin ◇ Medium Fatty Tuna ◇ New Salmon Roe ◆ Sweetfish ◇ Sweet Shrimp ◆ Sweet Shrimp Heads ◇ Fatty Tuna ◇ Lean Tuna ◆ Soup ◇ Eel Roll ◆ Egg ◇ Vinegared Mackerel ◇ Dried Gourd Roll
