Another great meal at Sugita. This time on the same day as Saito (lunch and dinner). I am not sure if Saito had a rare off day but in direct comparison Sugita had the edge.
His concentration when forming the nigiri is like a study of mediation. He seem not to look but only to feel.
The neta is always impeccable and his rice seasoning is very much to my liking as the acidity dominates.
Sugita is now the number 1 sushi restaurant in Japan, I have been to maybe 100+ so surely not even representative, but I can understand this. he is for me also number 1, when it comes to Edo-mae. Less
