ShimazuInstagram: pateknautilus40 https://www.instagram.com/pateknautilus40/Thank you for taking a look. I would appreciate your likes, follows, and saves for the restaurant.I revisited "Shimazu," a recipient of the Tabelog Award 2026 Gold and recognized as one of the top 100 restaurants. I always look forward to dining here.On this day, I unexpectedly ran into some acquaintances, making the gathering even more enjoyable than usual. As always, the chef, the owner, and the apprentices provided exceptional service. Thanks to them, I always feel comfortable during my visits.Here’s what I had that day, along with some thoughts:"Chairo Maruhata Shabu-shabu" This was my first time trying this fish, and it was delicious with just the right amount of fat."Otaru Shako, Toyama Shiro Ebi" I had shako for the first time— the shiro ebi was marinated in kombu, enhancing its aroma and flavor."Kagoshima Kawahagi and Liver" The kawahagi and liver were simply exquisite. I can't get enough of it."Ashinoko Rainbow Trout with Kombu and Sakura Leaves" This rainbow trout is hard to find elsewhere. If I didn’t know better, I would think it was sakura masu given the season! It was surprisingly tasty."Aomori Kurorokushima Mega Abalone" Served with liver sauce, and then I added some rice."Iwashikujira Tail" Tender and rich in flavor—absolutely superb."Tachiuo" "Akagai Liver Tsukudani" This was my first time trying it, and it might be the perfect accompaniment to rice."Nodoguro Chawanmushi" Next, the nigiri:"Akashi Madai" "Kagoshima Isaki" Two pieces from the back and belly. Rich and delicious!"Kagoshima Aji" "Edomae Sumiika" The texture was delightful and bouncy."Hokkaido Tokishake" Very tender and with a wonderful texture."Haruko" The spring haruko at this time of year is even softer."Ishikawa Takoshima Tuna Chutoro" "Oma Tuna Akami Zuke" "Oma Tuna Otoro" The tuna has started to resemble summer tuna, but the moderate fat content gives it a refined flavor."Kohada" Firmly marinated. It provides a nice contrast after the tuna."Hokkaido Akkeshi Bafun Uni Gunkan Maki" "Shijimi Soup" "Anago" "Tamago" "Toro Taku Maki" "Kanpyo Maki" "Kappa Maki" "Brown Sugar Gelato" "Earl Grey" I had a wonderful time and would love to visit again. It was a great meal!
