My last visit was in October, and after a long wait of 7 months, I finally returned.It takes about an hour and a half by train from Nagoya, but the anticipation makes it worthwhile. This is what I call an adult's excursion.Starting with the appetizer of tori-gai (bird clam), my palate was immediately captivated by the flavors of Komada.On this day, the salt-grilled tuna and isaki (Japanese grunt) stood out as particularly exceptional. I never expected to enjoy such powerful tuna in May. What a lucky find!Normally, I don’t pay much attention to the source of my seafood, but the isaki on this day was on a whole different level of deliciousness compared to what I’ve had before. It was packed with umami, yet the clean fat left a wonderful aftertaste.I learned that they have started sourcing fish from Mr. Fujimoto in Ehime. It reminded me of the quality of sashimi I had at Dogo Kaishu.I wonder if they will continue to expand their lineup? I’m looking forward to it.I can’t wait for my next visit.It was a great meal.---------------------------------Course (JPY 38,000)From a post by a famous food blogger who happened to be seated with me:↓● Akami @ Shiogama ● Haruko-dai @ Sajima ● Shiro-ika @ Fukuoka: Shio Sudachi ● Chutoro @ Shiogama ● Isaki @ Ehime: Hirakumar, Fujimoto ● Kisu @ Aichi: Marinated, Shiso ● Hamaguri @ Kuwana ● Hon-ara @ Katsuyama ● Murasaki Uni @ Yamaguchi: Hosomaki ● Akagai @ Mikawa ● Akagai Himo @ Mikawa: Hosomaki ● Hon-mirugai @ Mikawa ● Aji @ Izumi ● Anago ● Nakaochi: Temaki ● Senpyo: Hosomaki ● Tamago + Drinks JPY 43,000 ---------------------------------*For ramen and B-class gourmet, a rating of 4.5 is the maximum.▪️ Restaurant 4.0-4.5: Generally delicious or satisfactory for the cost 4.6 and above: Extremely delicious or more satisfying than the cost ▪️ Ramen 3.7 and above: Delicious 3.9 and above: Definitely worth a visit ▪️ B-class Focused on cost performance 3.4 and below: ... 3.7 and above: Generally tasty.
