On a weekday when the restaurant is normally closed, I had some unexpected free time due to a change in my prior plans. I decided to visit the restaurant I had been wanting to try, especially for their lunchtime specialty, the premium tuna bowl. I arrived before the opening time (which is essentially 12 o'clock) and found a few customers already waiting outside. As the time approached 11 o'clock, the line grew to about 10 people, and by 11:30, there were around 30 people waiting. At around 11:50, the staff posted the day's menu outside and came to take orders. Luckily, I managed to enter in the first group of customers. I ordered the limited "Salted Kama-toro + O-toro, Chutoro, Akami, and Chutoro Bowl." After about 20 minutes, the dishes were prepared and we were guided to our seats. The presentation was like entering a special party venue, it was quite impressive. Now, about the bowl of 5 types of premium tuna from Akami to O-toro, as soon as I saw it, I could tell it was something extraordinary with its thick, richly fatty, and high-quality cuts of tuna. The O-toro and Kama-toro looked like slices of ultra-premium Kobe beef. Underneath the various toro slices, there was a generous layer of Chutoro. I started with the Akami, and the intense umami flavor was mind-blowing right from the first bite. It was a luxurious and exquisite taste! I then proceeded to enjoy the Chutoro, O-toro, and Kama-toro, savoring the change in flavors with each bite. The Chutoro and O-toro were incredibly delicious with their melting fatty texture, and the Akami had a different but equally delightful flavor, providing a soothing contrast. The Chutoro hidden beneath was also of exceptional quality and taste, making all 5 cuts incredibly delicious. The freshness, condition, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness were all outstanding, making it the best premium tuna bowl I've ever had. While the portion size and fat content were on the higher side, the exceptional taste made it worth indulging in. I rarely come across such a luxurious tuna bowl. Personally, I had thought the best tuna bowl I had was in Shizuoka, but this bowl from "Umi no Sachi Sho" surpassed it in taste. The staff's service and hospitality were also very attentive and pleasing. It was a memorable experience of deliciousness that will stay with me this year. I look forward to cherishing the next opportunity to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
