北のもみたろう
On a certain weekday, the road conditions worsened again, so I decided to go to the revolving sushi restaurant in Tonden, Kita-ku, which I had kept as a safe bet. The parking lot seemed to have enough space for everyone to park. The interior of the restaurant was the same size and layout on both sides. I checked in at the entrance using the machine, then quietly took my designated seat. From the menu that day, I chose some items that caught my interest. "Marbled herring (110 yen)" from Norway, topped with grated ginger in a tube, had a good amount of fat and the vinegared rice was on the sweeter side. "Sea urchin and squid battleship (110 yen)" intrigued me as I hadn't had squid in a while. After a bite, I thought, is this really sea urchin? It had a slightly fishy taste, which was a bit disappointing. "Mackerel teriyaki (110 yen)" was recommended by the buyer, and the thickly sliced mackerel cooked in teriyaki sauce was surprisingly delicious with a strong sweetness. "Real snow crab bowl (260 yen)" caught my eye in the menu photo, and when it arrived, it was a small bowl similar to chawanmushi with a slightly acidic crab meat topped with salmon roe. It wasn't bad. I forgot to take a photo of the "Fried cod (110 yen)". This Hokkaido dish was a good choice, freshly fried and hot with a fluffy texture and no fishy smell, making it the best dish of the day. "Jumbo steamed scallop with butter soy sauce (160 yen)" had a large scallop on top, making it difficult to eat with the rice, but each bite was delightful, especially with the butter soy sauce. "Live-seared tuna belly and toro (110 yen)" had a thick and satisfying texture, but two pieces might have been too fatty. "Tuna and salmon (110 yen)" arrived quickly after ordering. The tuna was thick and slightly watery, and the salmon was a bit thin with a mild flavor. I remembered the newly opened fish be restaurant in Hiragishi, Toyohira-ku, which left a good impression, so I came here, but it was a bit disappointing that it was just like the usual fish be. Nevertheless, the quick service was still commendable. Thank you for the meal.
