Sushi AraiInstagram: pateknautilus40 https://www.instagram.com/pateknautilus40/Thank you for checking this out. I would appreciate your likes, follows, and saving this restaurant.I revisited "Sushi Arai," a recipient of the Tabelog Award 2026 GOLD and recognized as one of the top 100 restaurants. I always look forward to dining here.Given its location in Ginza, the restaurant has a refined atmosphere. Yet, it also exudes a warm, homey vibe that makes it very comfortable to spend time in.On this visit, Chef Arai's lively conversation kept us laughing throughout (laughs).Here’s what I had that day, along with some thoughts:- "Simmered Hon Mitsuba and Aburaage with White Sesame" A comforting and delicious dish.- "Mako Sole"- "Aichi Prefecture, Tori Clam"- "Boiled Octopus from Sagami Bay, Tokyo" Simply boiled octopus is exquisite.- "Wakame, Green Onion, and Myoga"- "Half-Raw Aburi Bachi Ko" Addictive deliciousness.- "Ankimo with Pickled Watermelon and Wasabi" The sweet pickles pair perfectly.- "Iwashi Whale Tail Meat" Tender and delightful.- "Grilled Shiro Amadai with Sudachi and Grated Daikon"- "Crab Marinated in Japanese Sake" This is what we call Kanjang Gejang. I couldn’t stop devouring it (laughs).Next are the nigiri:- "Aomori Prefecture, Shiriro, Tuna, Chutoro"- "Aomori Prefecture, Shiriro, Tuna, Chutoro"- "Kohada"- "Chiba Prefecture, Takeoka, Kisu with Kombu"- "Sumi Ika"- "Mie Prefecture, Aoyagi" I casually love Aoyagi. The crunchy texture is delightful.- "Kuruma Ebi"- "Kuruma Ebi Head"- "Aji"- "Aomori Prefecture, Shiriro, Tuna, Akami"- "Aomori Prefecture, Shiriro, Tuna, Otoro"- "Shijimi Clam Dashi Soup"- "Daisen Purple Sea Urchin"- "Anago"- "Dry Gourd Roll"- "Kappa Maki"- "Tamago"I had a wonderful time and would love to visit again. It was a great meal!
