This time, I will be presenting a review by Neko Oku-san! (Gen Tok has not gone there, haha) I met up with a friend at Shimotakaido Station to have lunch. We planned to go to Ippudo, but it was unexpectedly closed! Oh no, what a dilemma. So, we decided to try Asahi Sushi in front of the station. The upstairs was under preparation, so we were seated at the counter on the first floor. Well, since there were only two of us, I thought it would be fine to sit at the counter and have a chat. I considered getting the Matsukadou Bento, but I didn't think I could eat that much, so I opted for the lunch sushi set. It seems like the price of this lunch sushi set is gradually increasing. However, this time, I felt like the quality of the ingredients was better. Although Gen Tok is criticizing it, I think it's not bad as a lunch option. It consisted of 8 pieces of sushi, 2 kampyo rolls, and miso soup. We chatted a lot here, and then moved to a cafe to chat even more. It was a day filled with good food and conversation! Bon appétit!

Otsu likes Asahi Sushi Main Store near Shimo-Takaido. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. In this blog, the last article was written quite a while ago. 2016.6.25 Otsu no longer goes to this area after retiring, but had a meal with two acquaintances, so made a reservation online at Asahi Sushi Main Store. I chose the "Akane" course from the courses available online. This course includes the following 8 items: - Appetizer - 2 types of sashimi - Tempura - Dish - 7 pieces of nigiri sushi - Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) - Soup - Dessert Let's post a photo of the "Akane" course from the restaurant's website here. These dishes were indeed served one by one and were all delicious and satisfying. Especially the sushi was delicious and satisfying. With a total of 4,950 yen per person, I think it's quite affordable. Otsu had a draft beer for 726 yen, a glass of Yama no Kami (junmai daiginjo) for 1,375 yen, and a glass of Ishizuchi for 1,155 yen, and felt great. However, I didn't feel the taste of the sake was as good as usual. I usually enjoy Yama no Kami and others, so it was a strange experience. My companion had a plum wine soda for 715 yen, a draft beer for 726 yen, a cola for 385 yen, and a plum wine hot water for 660 yen. It doesn't seem like much for two people to drink. Otsu brought a 10% off coupon from Tabelog, so the total bill of 20,592 yen became 18,532 yen. It was quite good. If there's a chance, I would like to eat at this restaurant again.

It's my favorite. Firefly squid with vinegar miso for 660 yen, assorted tempura for 1980 yen, 385 yen for saury x2, 385 yen for konoshiro, 660 yen for fatty tuna, and 440 yen for lean tuna. Two appetizers, saury, konoshiro, and fatty tuna were very delicious (╹◡╹) Especially, saury and konoshiro were excellent (╹◡╹) (╹◡╹) Unfortunately, the lean tuna completely lacked flavor. This time, I had my meal at the counter. The chefs and waitstaff were very polite and the service was good. I think I will visit again, but for some reason, I feel that the branches in Machida or Shin-Yurigaoka taste even better than the main store. It's a question that only I can solve (lol)

I was wandering around in front of Takaido Station looking for a place to have dinner, and I was lured into a restaurant by the food samples displayed in the showcase. My son and I enjoyed eel rice bowl, assorted sashimi, sushi, and beer. The eel was fluffy and the rice was just right. The amberjack sashimi was also delicious. The dessert platter after the meal was also very tasty. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the demeanor of the staff made me feel nostalgic, like I had been to a similar place for family gatherings when I was a child. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It's a Tuesday afternoon on a public holiday. I decided to stop by a yakisoba restaurant in Kami-Kitazawa for a late breakfast, so I got off at Shimotakaido Station and took a stroll around the area. It's been about forty years since I moved to Tokyo, but this is my first time exploring this neighborhood. There seems to be a shopping street, but it's not as bustling as I expected. After about half an hour of exploring and digesting the yakisoba, I stumbled upon this sushi restaurant near the level crossing. It's called "Asahi Sushi Main Store," and it seems to be the flagship store among the outlets in station buildings and department store food courts. The entrance was lined with signs for reserved customers, giving it a school trip accommodation vibe. Inside, I requested the chef's choice set. It included fatty tuna, medium fatty tuna, kanpachi, flounder, horse mackerel, scallop, sweet shrimp, salmon roe, eel, egg, medium fatty tuna roll, and dried gourd roll, with miso soup with clams on the side. They didn't brush soy sauce on the sushi, but provided a small dish of Yamasa soy sauce on the table for dipping. The sushi rice was the typical white vinegar type found in local sushi restaurants, but the quality of the fish surpassed those of regular places. The cost performance was reasonable, and if it were closer, I'd want to visit once a month. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Located in Minamiguchi, this sushi restaurant doesn't have a conveyor belt but still has a lively atmosphere. It has a traditional and established feel to it. The Kifune set with miso soup was delicious, as always! The miso soup was also excellent, and I think it's a great value for lunch in Shimotakaido.

Asakura Sushi Sohonten, a long-established sushi restaurant in Shimo-Asagaya. They have branches in malls, but this is the main store. The restaurant has a dignified atmosphere. The lunch set here is different from the mall branches. One unique option is the limited-time "Lunch Matsukado (1320 yen)" available on specific days. It includes sushi, small dishes, tempura, miso soup, and chawanmushi. It's quite affordable and offers a great deal. If you prefer sushi, they also offer "Sushi Gozen" and "Tempura Gozen" for 1980 yen each. While not using high-end ingredients, you can still experience the traditional ambiance of this long-standing restaurant. I wonder what I should try next time? Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited the restaurant for a late lunch with my grandmother and mother. We have been here several times before. This time, I had the autumn cherry blossom sushi. I asked to change the salmon roe to minced tuna because I don't like salmon roe. The skill of the chef balancing the sea urchin on top of the sushi was amazing. We also ordered flying fish roe, octopus, and scallop sushi (my mother ordered fatty tuna). Everything was incredibly delicious. For dessert, we had cream chestnut mochi which was the perfect ending to the meal. I initially thought the fruit in the picture was a strawberry, but it turned out to be apricot! I don't have many memories of eating apricot, but it was really sweet and delicious! We also got a 10% discount using a coupon from Hot Pepper.

Last Sunday around 4pm, I found this store offering a special deal but unfortunately the "4-piece nigiri sushi set (tax included) for 500 yen" that I wanted was sold out. So, on Thursday around 3pm, I went back for a rematch, but once again it was sold out (/ _ ; ) (/ _ ; ) I ended up buying the "9-piece nigiri sushi set with tamago (tax included) for 1,000 yen" instead! Even though it's only available in-store, the cost performance is great - you get uni and ikura for only 1,000 yen! As expected from the main store of Asahi Sushi, it was well-prepared and delicious! I finished all 9 pieces in no time by myself! The wasabi, freshly grated by the restaurant, added a nice kick to the sushi. Overall, it was a great experience! The restaurant has a rating of 3.07 on Tabelog as of May 2020!

[Address] 4-46-10 Akatsutsumi, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo [Arrival Date] Weekday [Number of People] Reservation required [Waiting Time] Reservation required [Ordered Items] - Assorted Sushi (12 pieces), Chawanmushi, Miso Soup for 1,980 yen - Lunch Chirashi with Miso Soup for 1,100 yen

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday before 6 pm, despite the bad weather forecast. It seemed like there were many reservations. I had a cup of oolong tea for 330 yen, a seafood salad for 600 yen, a single eel tempura for 600 yen, a sashimi platter with 5 types of fish for 1400 yen, a chilled winter melon with crab sauce for 800 yen, and a sushi platter with 6 pieces for 2500 yen. The salad was delicious with shrimp, squid, white fish, salmon, and salmon roe. The sashimi had tuna, sea bass, horse mackerel, sweet shrimp, and ark shell. The sushi included fatty tuna, sea bass, ark shell, shrimp, eel, and sea urchin. Everything was tasty and good value for money. I would definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

I visited the main branch of "Asahi Sushi" located near my house. With the end of the Heisei era approaching, let's have some sushi! - Bamboo Sushi Set (1296 yen) - 9 pieces of nigiri sushi, 2 slices of gourd roll, miso soup - Sushi Set Meal (1944 yen) - sashimi, tempura, 2 side dishes, 7 pieces of nigiri sushi, rice - Bottled Beer (650 yen) - Freshly squeezed sake (540 yen) The atmosphere in the restaurant is calm, and the service from the staff is attentive. The prices are reasonable, and during lunchtime, the sushi chef at the counter is very busy. You can enjoy a leisurely meal at the table without feeling rushed. The sesame tofu and clam soup served as appetizers were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I use it for lunch. I always order the set with simmered dishes, sushi, tempura, chawanmushi, and miso soup, which costs around ¥1200. It's quite a good deal. I don't usually make simmered dishes at home, but they taste delicious when eaten here. The tempura is freshly fried, and the chawanmushi is tasty. However, the sushi, which is the main dish, might be better at the supermarket. It lacks freshness and flavor. To be honest, conveyor belt sushi might taste better. But considering the price of this set, it's understandable. So, I will definitely go back again.

It was a very quiet restaurant, a bit difficult to eat alone, but the food was delicious.

Limited time course for ¥5000 includes a draft beer for ¥600, appetizer, sashimi platter, tempura, abalone steak, sushi, soup, and dessert. There is also a limited time offer for a ¥10000 course at half price. The tempura includes a whole matsutake mushroom. Delicious, satisfying, and great value.

I visited Noriette (cake shop) on May 19, 2008, and on my way back, I stopped by for a takeout. I got a futomaki for 420 yen (4 pieces) and a tekka maki for 740 yen (1 piece). It was just okay.

The food was scattered and messy.
