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.

  1. Is 12600yen all by yourself? (since only 8 counter seat…I assume…it’s not a group diner place). OoO;;; These all look incredible…craving sushi now…

  2. Yeah, 12600yen is for one person…but believe me, it is considered “cheap” for a proper sushi dinner! That’s why I rarely have sushi entries in my blog. ^^;;; btw, the pictures show some two pieces, which are actually ONE sushi but they are too big so are cut into half for easier eating…the plate is slightly far from the seat and you need to reach out to get the sushi(I knocked down my tea once…), so the sushi look small in pictures…they are actually very big.

  3. Thank you for your reviews. Really enjoy reading your blog. Could you please give names and addresses of the restaurants in your blog in English so I could try them when visit Japan?…Thanks.

  4. Hi, snl. I will try my best to write down the names and address in English whenever possible.
