うどんが主食
Please register for the offline meeting on the official LINE account. This restaurant used to be extremely popular in Osaka. There were various rumors when they expanded to Tokyo, but eventually, they relocated to Kyoto, and the head chef came to Tokyo. The appetizers were always extravagant and highly praised since the Osaka days. While the focus was on the amazing appetizers, there was no mention of sushi. This time, a friend invited me to a special seat. We started with highballs, then moved on to a hairy crab soup, sea urchin, and naturally, sake. Grilled eel, gizzard shad sushi, and a palate-cleansing soup before the sushi. Sake pairs really well with these dishes. All the appetizers and soups are delicious. This sushi restaurant is great for those who enjoy sake. Despite the differences between Kansai and Tokyo, they use quality ingredients and everything tastes delicious. The sushi starts with lean tuna, then medium fatty tuna, red snapper, surf clam, horse mackerel, shrimp, sardine, conger eel, and negitoro. The dessert is a tamago (egg) with the taste of the sun... delicious but pricey (laughs). It seems they use red vinegar in the sushi rice, but the sushi falls a bit short. While they use good fish, the balance is off with the rice, making it feel disconnected when you bite into it. The chef's anecdotes are entertaining, and you can tell he's a fun and interesting person. The young staff is friendly and eager to learn quickly. This is wonderful. However, compared to the famous sushi restaurants in Ginza, it was a bit disappointing.
