Sushi Hashimoto in Shin-Tomi Town opened a second branch called Sushi Miyuki in June, using the previous location of the neighborhood. Six months later, I revisited to see how much it has grown under the guidance of chef Konno, who was in charge of the kitchen as the second in command. I arrived at 6:30 pm and noticed that there were only three people, but by 7:00 pm, three more guests arrived and the restaurant was full. It seems they don't start serving all customers at once. When I visited six months ago, they had just put up a new sign, but now the chef's coat also had "Sushi Miyuki" embroidered on it. Now, let's see what kind of menu they have this time. - Seared skin of horse mackerel and natural scallops from Hokkaido: The natural scallops, which will be in season from December, were huge and deliciously sweet. The horse mackerel was tender and tasty. - Japanese sardines and kelp with condiments: The different textures of the soft sardines and crunchy kelp with condiments like ginger, green onion, shiso, and sesame were enjoyable. - Snow crab and salmon roe: Delicious, but I wished there was more of the texture from the roe. - Grilled cod milt: The aroma was amazing! The creamy sweetness of the cod milt, the savory soy sauce, and the hint of spice from shichimi blended perfectly in the mouth. - Oyster simmered in white miso: A dish reminiscent of a hot pot with oysters from Murotsu, Hyogo. The oysters were delicious, and the bitterness of the chrysanthemum leaves added a nice touch. - Dried sardines: Soft and lightly seared, recommended by the chef. It tasted like dried baby sardines but was tender and perfect for sake lovers. - Salted squid guts: A great pairing with sake! - Steamed belt fish with shallot soy sauce: The belt fish was fatty and tender, and the shallot soy sauce added a nice touch. The dish was delicious. - Nigiri sushi: The sushi was made smoothly and skillfully. The chef's experience was evident in the precise and beautiful sushi-making. The various types of sushi included: kohada, firefly squid, young sea bream, lean tuna from Oma, scallop, medium fatty tuna from Oma, monkfish liver, botan shrimp, blackthroat seaperch, horse mackerel, ark shell, sea urchin from Chitose, conger eel, and tamago. - Additional dishes: The chef also served grilled blackthroat seaperch and seared cod milt, which were delicious. Overall, the meal was satisfying and a perfect accompaniment to sake.
