Restaurant: @ao_sushi

表参道駅から徒歩2分にある江戸前鮨「鮨あお」
"Sushi Ao", an edomae-sushi located a two-minute walk from Omotesando station
오모테산도 역 도보 2분거리 위치한, 에도마에스시 전문점 “스시 아오”

今の季節の寿司のおまかせコースは、最初にアワビ、金目鯛のしゃぶしゃぶ、サクラマスのつけ焼きをおつまみとして味わい、メインの江戸前鮨は、スミイカ、大トロ、小肌、鯵などが堪能できる。江戸前鮨に使われるシャリはしっかりと酢を効かせ、羽釜で炊き上げているとの事。
予算:昼¥28,600〜... More

Sushi Ao, April 2024 (actually, yesterday 😅). Have been here 3 times in the past six months which should really tell you all you need to know how I feel about it.
.
Okazaki-san spent 10 years at Sukiyabashi Jiro before opening in 2020. If you believe the press materials, Jiro claims he's his most talented student, which is kinda crazy considering Jiro-san has been making sushi since the 1950s.

その日仕入れた新鮮な魚介類と厳選された旬の食材を使ったおまかせコース。最近では蒸し蝦夷鮑、子持ち槍烏賊、甘鯛の酒蒸しなどをおつまみとして味わい、握りは墨烏賊、車海老、馬糞雲丹軍艦、大トロ、赤貝が堪能できる。中身の握りは藤田浩毅氏(㈱フジタ水産)から取り寄せており、酢が効いたシャリが「口の中でほどける」との事。
