A famous sushi place with only 8 counter seats. Located in an area where at night, mainly salarymen hang out. The chef is a big guy and can be intimidating af first, but he is very friendly and talks and smiles a lot. He let me take pictures of the sushi but my seat was right in front of him so it was quite embarassing, especially when there were so many of them. ^^;;; Wanted to jot down what we ate but just couldn’t in that situation…what I could recall afterwards might not be that reliable. The course included 18 sushi. And the rice for the sushi was so big(the fish was not small either), I was stuffed to my throat by the end. Other customers gave up after 15. The rice is strong with “red vinegar”, and there were 4-5 out of that 18 sushi that had the fish itself vinegar-pickled also, so it was a bit too much sour taste towards the end. Quality is high nonetheless, and good value considering how much food you get. You don’t have to order the omakase – you can choose what you like or request for a course with fewer sushi.
