Sugita, often regarded as the best sushi restaurant in Japan among 30,000 establishments, holds the top spot on Tabelog for sushi and has been awarded Tabelog Gold for 10 consecutive years.They serve classic Edomae sushi, crafted with utmost care by artisans who have dedicated their lives to sushi-making. The appetizers are simple yet refined, making it easy to enjoy with Japanese sake.After the initial round of appetizers, there’s a time for additional orders, allowing you to request any appetizers you haven’t tried yet.Next, we move on to the nigiri.Each piece is prepared with the finest ingredients, with careful attention to both the temperature of the fish and the sushi rice, which is made with balanced red vinegar. The gentle hand-formed nigiri truly deserves the title of the best in Japan.Sugita’s signature kohada (gizzard shad) is meticulously prepared, with variations in the curing and cutting techniques based on the source and individual fish.On this day, every piece of fish and every appetizer was exceptionally beautiful and of high quality, leaving me completely satisfied.Moreover, the graceful and stylish presentation of each piece is like a work of art, captivating to behold. The atmosphere is pleasantly tense, complemented by the chef's light-hearted banter, creating a wonderful sense of unity among the diners.This is a place I wish to visit for a lifetime.◆ Appetizers, ◇ Nigiri◆ Junzai and Nagaimo◆ Aori Ika (Bigfin Reef Squid)◆ Makogarei (Flatfish)◆ Anago Chawanmushi (Eel Custard)◆ Simmered Octopus◆ Firefly Squid Miso Pickle◆ Ankimo and Hinadori Pairing (Monkfish Liver)◆ Tachiuo (Cutlassfish)◆ Emperor Fish Miso Pickle◆ Sea Urchin Miso Pickle◆ Kazunoko Miso Pickle (Herring Roe)◆ Scallop Grilled with Seaweed◆ Anago Shira-yaki (Grilled Eel)◇ Sumi Ika (Cuttlefish)◇ Isaki (Chicken Grunt)◇ Madai (Sea Bream)◇ Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna)◇ Haruko-dai (Spring Sea Bream)◇ Aji (Horse Mackerel)◇ Otoro (Fatty Tuna)◇ Saba (Mackerel)◇ Hamaguri (Clam)◇ Kuruma Ebi (Tiger Prawn)◇ Uni (Sea Urchin)◆ Soup◇ Katsuo (Bonito)◇ Kohada (Gizzard Shad)◇ Anago (Eel)◆ Tamago (Egg)
