Mっる: "I want to eat sushi."
Me: "Sure! (。・ω・。)ノ" And so, on this day, we visited Keyaki for a celebration with Mっる. I won't reveal what we were celebrating, so if you want to know, please DM me directly. I had some points on a certain site, so I used them to make a reservation for a selected sushi course with 2 drinks included for 9,500 yen. Mっる didn't want any appetizers, so I chose a course with more nigiri.
The restaurant had a hidden gem vibe, but since I know Amerikamura well, we arrived with ease. Upon entering, the chef greeted us by himself. We toasted with a beer and enjoyed the course. Here's what we had:
(Appetizer)
- Seasonal vegetable ohitashi: A gentle and flavorful dish with a delicious broth. Mっる enjoyed it so much that I ended up giving them mine as well.
(Nigiri)
- Swordtip squid, fugu, Nagasaki cuttlefish, Toyama white shrimp: The swordtip squid was refreshing with salt and lemon. The fugu, cuttlefish, and white shrimp were all incredibly delicious. Mっる, who usually doesn't like shrimp, even enjoyed the white shrimp.
(Warm dish)
- Seasonal chawanmushi with crab: A rich and flavorful chawanmushi with plenty of broth. Mっる struggled with the video of opening the lid but enjoyed the dish nonetheless.
(Nigiri)
- Striped jack, Ishigaki sea bream, Kawahagi liver, tuna toro, ikura & uni, simmered anago: Each nigiri was delicious, with the Kawahagi liver being a standout for Mっる. We ended the meal with simmered anago.
- Tekka maki, miso soup: We also had a tuna roll and miso soup, which were both delicious.
(Additional order)
- Ikura, flounder: We added some ikura and flounder to our meal, both of which were fantastic.
Overall, we had a great time at the restaurant. We had the place to ourselves, and the chef took care of all our drinks. We had a pleasant conversation and enjoyed our time there. It was a delightful experience. Thank you for the meal!
