The satisfaction of this dish is heightened by mixing the leftover sauce with freshly cut sushi rice, making it a standout item.Fried ManagatsuoThis luxurious dish features Managatsuo from Imabari wrapped in the finest seaweed from Saga Ariake. The combination of its savory aroma and umami flavor was remarkable.NigiriThe course continues with nigiri featuring Ishikawa's ara, Ehime's shima-aji, Kagoshima's sumi-ika, and Muroran's toki-shiraz. Each piece highlights the unique characteristics of the fish. The standout was the tuna sourced from Yamakou, weighing 140 kg from Shiogama, which included medium fatty tuna, marinated red meat, and melt-in-your-mouth fatty tuna. The additional striped shrimp with kombu, red clam, and sardine left a lasting impression, making this a flawless course. Highly recommended for a special sushi experience in Shirokane! Less
