This is also a favorite restaurant of mine, where the small dishes and sushi are delicious, but one of the highlights is being able to enjoy the Amakusa Daioh chicken raised by the owner's family. The apprentice is also there, a young and pleasant young man. My husband had a beer (800 yen), and I had the "SAKANA JAPON" sake, which is made to pair well with fish and has a refreshing and delicious taste. The omakase course is 16,500 yen (tax included) and includes dishes like:
- New mozuku (Amakusa): The texture of the mozuku is good, and the vinegar flavor is not too strong.
- Oysters (Amakusa, Onaga): The oysters do not shrink when steamed and have a concentrated umami flavor.
- Tiger fish (Amakusa): The tiger fish was delicious, and it was served with skin, liver, and eggs.
- Assorted sashimi: Includes Isagi (Amakusa, straw-grilled), hirame, Hokkaido purple sea urchin, and whale back meat, among others.
- Amakusa Daioh chawanmushi: Made with broth from Amakusa Daioh chicken and has a creamy texture.
- Isagi liver: A creamy and delicious dish.
- Sea eel (Amakusa): A high-quality dish with a good balance of fat and texture.
- Grilled saury and Amakusa Daioh chicken breast tempura: Crispy tempura with a nice crunch.
- Assorted Amakusa Daioh dishes: Includes breast meat tataki, white liver, heart, gizzard, and more.
- Swimming crab (Amakusa) and sea grapes: Both the crab meat and eggs are delicious.
- Cutlassfish salt-grilled: Thick and fatty with a delicious flavor.
- And many more dishes like sea bream, otoro, shirako, aji, kinmedai, kochi, spear squid, etc.
The Amakusa Daioh chicken dishes are particularly outstanding, and the overall quality and variety of dishes for the price of 16,500 yen is quite reasonable. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the owners are friendly. We have already made a reservation for our next visit and are looking forward to it. The total cost for two people, including drinks, was 36,600 yen (tax included, credit cards accepted).
