I ordered a course meal. Each piece of nigiri (hand-formed sushi) had a very refined taste, and I was very Manzoku. The dishes other than sushi were also carefully prepared, with deep flavor and great taste.

I really liked the akazu (red vinegar) sushi rice, which was delicious. It had a nice looseness too. The goma-dofu (sesame tofu) was chewy and creamy, and so good I wanted another serving. The dashi in dishes like the fukahire (shark fin) chawanmushi (savory egg custard) and the steamed dish of shin-jaga (new potatoes) mochi and hamo (pike conger) was outstanding. The toro-taku (fatty tuna and pickled daikon roll) was the best I’ve ever had.

Nigiri is available not only as an assortment, but you can also order your preferred toppings one piece at a time.
The "engawa (flounder fin) aburi (seared)" in the photo is said to be delicious, with the surface fat melting from the searing to bring out its fragrant aroma and rich umami. They also recommend eating it simply with salt or lemon.

The sushi carefully shaped by skilled chefs lets you fully enjoy the rich flavor of the seafood. In particular, classic toppings like tuna, uni (sea urchin), and salmon are exceptionally fresh, and when you put them in your mouth, you can enjoy a texture that feels rich and melts smoothly.

The nigiri uses fresh neta (sushi toppings), and the akami (lean tuna) and hikari-mono (silver-skinned fish) left a particularly good impression. The balance with the shari (sushi rice) is also nice, and it makes you want to order just one more piece. The grilled shellfish were plump and juicy, with a nice roasted aroma that paired perfectly with drinks.

Of course, all of the sushi was delicious, but what stood out most was the kaki fry (fried oysters). The coating was amazingly crisp, and the oyster inside was juicy. Also, the chawanmushi (savory egg custard) topped with gel looked fresh and new, and the flavor of the dashi was concentrated, making it excellent.
