はらへり呑んべぇ
November 26, 2018 Today is an early year-end party at "Fujita" with 5 people☆ Located on Kikicho Street between Ginza 3-chome, Showa Street, and the Metropolitan Expressway. The head chef, who previously worked as the sushi chef at the Ebisu Westin Hotel, opened this sushi restaurant in July 2014 after visiting many sushi restaurants in Tokyo. Passing through the navy blue noren curtain... the counter made of zelkova wood seats only 8 people. The warm interior adds to the cozy atmosphere. The head chef suddenly joined in the conversation halfway through, surprising us with his humor and charm! The drink menu includes draft beer (900 yen)☆ There are course menus priced at 12,000 yen and 15,000 yen. Since it's a special occasion, we opted for the 15,000 yen course! First, sashimi. And bottled beer (900 yen)☆ Isaki, suzuki, buri☆ Enjoy with salt or soy sauce. All of them are delicious... The scent of yuzu is also nice... Unfortunately, they didn't have a full bottle of champagne, so we went for a half bottle of champagne (7,500 yen)☆ The charred aroma is delightful. Homemade karasumi☆ Charred karasumi. The flavor is rich and concentrated! While enjoying this, we decided on sake before moving on to wine. Tsururei sake (1,500 yen)☆ Special Junmai. Soft-boiled octopus☆ Soft and tender octopus. What's this... what's this... It's grilled! The visuals are also impressive. (laughs) Anago☆ It looks like mozzarella! (laughs) Crunchy and delicious anago snack♪ Let's have some white wine! Starting with this... let's go♪ Bottle of rosé wine (19,000 yen)☆ Kenzo Estate's limited production rosé wine. Seiko crab☆ It's here! It's finally in season, right? Seiko crab! The hairy crab is packed full of meat! It has external and internal roe. After leaving a little bit, pour some sake over it and heat it up! ( =^~^)o Another round! (laughs) Chawanmushi☆ A luxurious chawanmushi with Seiko crab sauce. Inside, there's whitefish milt! Smooth and gentle flavor... And this one. Kido☆ Served in a thin white glass made of Arita porcelain! Ankimo☆ It's not steamed, it's boiled. Ah! Rich and creamy♪ Now, it's time for the sushi! The sushi rice is prepared in two types, red vinegar-based and white vinegar-based, to match the toppings. And to go with that... seriously? I don't know if we can finish a bottle but let's go for it! Bottle of white wine☆ Now, now. Gariuma. Tai with kombu☆ Perfectly seasoned! Sayori☆ Nicely aged! Maguro zuke☆ Despite being lean, you can taste the umami. Already asking for seconds. Toro☆ Ahh, the richness of the fat is just right♪ Gunkan is served. Murasaki uni☆ Sweet and creamy♪ The nori is also delicious! Wait, are we going for it? (laughs) Yuki goddess☆ It's not on the menu. Looks expensive. Kohada☆ The way it's cut, I thought it was saury! A great finale! Tamago☆ Sweet! Fine and moist, just like a castella pudding! Ikura☆ Popping texture~ The nori is delicious. Wait... it's charred!! Kinmedai☆ The charred aroma brings out the richness and umami! The one that was slightly grilled earlier must be this one! Anago☆ Melts in your mouth... And my companion's... Alright, let's dig in!!! Kanpyo☆ Delicious kanpyo wrapped in delicious nori. Not too hard, not too soft, just right! Clam soup☆ So delicious!!! The flavor is so concentrated!!! Thank you for the meal (o^_^o)
