An incredible omakase sushi experience in Tokyo, one of the best we've ever had in Japan, with amazing dishes and a wonderful atmosphere.
Dishes mentioned
Hirame no Kobujime
We start with a flatfish cured in kelp, served with a liver sauce. The liver sauce is so good that we finish it with a little rice ball. It's incredible.
Hon Maguro Akami
First nigiri of tuna, to be eaten pure. It's a small tuna, lightly seared, then dipped in soy sauce. They use a piece of shark skin to grate fresh wasabi root. Amazing.
Shiro Ebi
White shrimp, small and sweet. Delicate and perfect.
Shirako
Sperm of pufferfish. We've had it before because it's in season in Japan right now, so we get it everywhere. It's delicious.
Bottarga
This time with more bottarga. It immediately feels like Sardinia. Everything is delicious.
