This was my first visit to Amaki since their relocation. I had been there once before and remembered it being delicious, but I couldn't recall the details, so it felt fresh and new this time. Surprisingly, there weren't many customers that day. It might have just been a coincidence, but it didn't feel crowded at all. The appetizers were quite tasty. Since I was alone, I quietly enjoyed my meal without chatting with anyone. I usually avoid alcohol unless it's a special occasion, so I was just eating... More
This was my first visit to Amaki since their relocation. I had been there once before and remembered it being delicious, but I couldn't recall the details, so it felt fresh and new this time. Surprisingly, there weren't many customers that day. It might have just been a coincidence, but it didn't feel crowded at all. The appetizers were quite tasty. Since I was alone, I quietly enjoyed my meal without chatting with anyone. I usually avoid alcohol unless it's a special occasion, so I was just eating whatever came out. I found several types of nigiri that I really liked, especially the sweet shrimp. The way it was prepared was different from the usual, making it visually appealing and delicious. I was also surprised by the number of nigiri pieces. Did I really have this many before? Looking back at photos from my previous visit, I confirmed that there were indeed a lot! While I appreciate a generous portion, the person sitting next to me, who was from overseas, looked like they were struggling halfway through. One thing that caught my attention was a customer at the counter who was talking loudly on the phone for quite a while. The staff didn’t say anything or encourage them to step outside, which was a bit concerning in a restaurant of this caliber. Despite that, the food was excellent. Thank you for the wonderful meal! Reservation Method: TableCheck Course Price: JPY 33,000?

It's been a while since they moved to the Nagoya Kanko Hotel, but the interior is still very beautiful.The selection of appetizers and sushi is excellent, and the service is top-notch. I believe both sushi enthusiasts and beginners will truly enjoy their experience here.Reservations can be a bit challenging to secure, but it's definitely worth the effort to book a table at this restaurant.It was a great meal!

I visited Amaki, located on the 18th floor of the Nagoya Kanko Hotel, for the first time. I had tried to make reservations several times before their relocation, but being a popular restaurant, it was always fully booked. This time, I called with half-hearted expectations, and to my surprise, I successfully secured a reservation. My excitement grew even before arriving.The interior features a spacious counter, exuding cleanliness and a sense of luxury, creating a pleasant atmosphere as I watched the chefs at work.The head chef trained at the renowned "Sushi Takumi" and was friendly and engaging, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.We started with some appetizers:◇ Tokoroten with Mikawa Blue Crab and Okra Puree A refreshing summer dish. The smooth texture of the Tokoroten paired beautifully with the rich flavor of the crab, while the okra's thickness gently brought everything together. This first plate set high expectations with its seasonal flair.◇ Ise Bay Flatfish, Blanched Skin The flesh was delicate and refined, while the blanched skin enhanced the flavor, providing an enjoyable contrast in texture.◇ Marinated Bonito The marinated bonito was aromatic with bonito flakes, deepening the flavor. The sweetness of the yellow chives and onions, along with the refreshing spiciness of the wasabi, made for an interesting flavor evolution in my mouth.◇ Sea Bass Soup with 16 Types of Beans, White Yam, and Lotus Root The broth was exceptionally clear. The refined flavor of the sea bass combined with the texture of the vegetables was comforting.◇ Sakura Boiled Octopus and Broth-Soaked Mantis Shrimp The octopus was tender yet flavorful, and the mantis shrimp absorbed the broth, releasing its taste with each bite.◇ Fried Dried Clams on a Skewer The flavor was concentrated, and with one bite, the aroma of the shellfish spread pleasantly. Despite being fried, it was light, serving as a perfect transition to the sushi.Now, onto the nigiri:◇ Spring Sea Bream The soft texture and refined sweetness were impressive. As the first nigiri, it smoothly transitioned my palate into sushi mode.◇ Bigfin Reef Squid It was sticky yet had a good bite, with a gradual sweetness emerging.◇ Surf Clam from Shinojima With a crunchy texture, the sweetness intensified with each bite, showcasing the clam's presence and evoking the scent of the sea.◇ Baby Fish from Hamana Lake This was particularly memorable among the nigiri. It had a fleeting quality typical of baby fish, and the moment it entered my mouth, it melted away. The balance of acidity was perfect, enhancing the softness and aroma without being overpowering. Despite its small size, it had a strong presence, embodying the joy of seasonal delicacies that can only be enjoyed now.◇ Sandfish Light and elegant sweetness. Despite being a mild fish, the craftsmanship was evident.◇ Sea Urchin Rich and sweet, it blended beautifully with the rice, melting in my mouth—a luxurious experience.◇ Grilled Spanish Mackerel, Young Corn, Pumpkin, and Manji Pepper This dish changed the rhythm with its grilling. The savory mackerel combined with the sweetness of the vegetables reset my palate.◇ Sweet Shrimp This was also quite impressive, with perfect cooking. It was slightly rare, maintaining a delightful texture, while the sweetness was prominent. Overcooking sweet shrimp can make them tough, but here they captured the best part.◇ Spanish Mackerel The fat was refined, with a good balance of savoriness and aroma.◇ Simmered Clam Tender, with flavor expanding with each bite. The sweet and spicy simmering sauce was elegant and paired excellently with the rice.◇ Marinated Red Fish The red vinegar rice enhanced the umami of the red fish and the depth of the marinade.◇ Medium Fatty Tuna The sweetness of the fat was prominent, yet the red vinegar rice kept it from being too heavy, maintaining elegance.◇ Fatty Tuna Switching to white rice here was interesting. The rich fat of the fatty tuna paired better with the softness of the white rice than with red vinegar.◇ Abalone with Liver Sauce The abalone was tender, retaining its characteristic firmness, releasing flavor with each bite. The liver sauce added depth to the taste.◇ Gizzard Shad Perfectly seasoned, with an excellent balance of acidity and umami. It truly embodied the essence of Edomae sushi.◇ Grilled Nodoguro The aroma from grilling combined with the sweetness of the fat created a vibrant experience in my mouth.◇ Young Sweetfish from Lake Biwa Wrapped in Seaweed The slight bitterness and pleasant aroma provided a nice accent, changing the impression within the flow of sushi.◇ Horse Mackerel This was also delicious. The texture was firm, and the umami gradually spread.◇ Vinegared Rice Crackers Rather than just a palate cleanser, this playful dish showcased the creativity of the sushi restaurant, remaining enjoyable until the end.◇ Miso Soup A comforting finish. I appreciated the chance to take a breather here.◇ Simmered Eel from Ise Bay This was particularly memorable among the dishes. The fluffiness was truly remarkable, melting in my mouth the moment I took a bite. Simmered eel can sometimes be too soft and lose its flavor, but here, the fibers broke apart beautifully while retaining their umami.◇ Toro-Taku Special A satisfying conclusion, with rich flavors and enjoyable textures that kept me engaged until the end.◇ Egg A gentle sweetness to wrap things up. The final taste was comforting, bringing the entire course together beautifully.The chef's casual "Would you like to add more?" made me chuckle, but that relaxed atmosphere added to the charm of the restaurant. This is a place I want to visit regularly. It was a great meal! Less

While traveling on the Shinkansen, I was browsing various Tabelog rankings as usual.How does the sushi ranking look nationwide?Recently, Sugita in Nihonbashi, Kakigaracho has held the top spot without fail. The top ten are the usual suspects—no surprises there.Speaking of which, I wondered how the sushi rankings in Nagoya were doing, and upon checking, I found that the top-rated restaurant according to Tabelog was Hijikata.This too was business as usual. I thought there was no way I could make a reservation, but just to be sure, I searched for "Hijikata reservation." Of course, there was no way to book a table. That was to be expected.Who’s in second place? Ah, Amaki. I might as well take a look, although I thought it would be impossible... I’ve tried to make reservations here many times before, and it never worked out.Wait, what? I found available seats for tomorrow night on Ikkyu! No way!With trembling fingers, I pressed the reservation button.To my astonishment, the reservation was confirmed. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but I also received a confirmation email. Yes!That was the story leading up to last night’s reservation.Today, I enjoyed a wonderful French meal in Yaizu for lunch.I planned to stay in Shizuoka and have Chinese food for dinner at the hotel.However, things changed.I quickly canceled the Chinese reservation, decided not to stay, and hurried back to Nagoya, waiting patiently for my reservation at Amaki.Just like when I visited Shinohara in Ginza, I find it quite beneficial to test whether I can secure a reservation at a desired restaurant, even when I have no particular plans.Also, upon closely examining Amaki’s Ikkyu site, it seems that reservations are available for the 9:30 PM slot.Ah, I need to keep an eye on the reservations for my favorite restaurants instead of just assuming they’re impossible to get.Now, the moment I’ve been waiting for has arrived.The reservation starts at 9:30 PM. It’s quite late, but I’m feeling excited!

It's a 10-minute walk from Fushimi Station on the subway.They serve incredibly fresh fish primarily from Mikawa Bay. The sushi rice is on the smaller side, allowing for a generous portion.They have two seating times: ① 18:00 and ② 21:00, so it's relatively easy to get a reservation for the 21:00 slot.Prices start from JPY 35,000 per person.Credit cards are accepted.
