It's amazing. A full course of conger eel with various conger eel dishes! Menu items that seem to be only available in Kansai, as well as dried and grilled barracuda, simmered kinki, and raw and simmered kinki sashimi. I want to try everything I saw. Today, I lightly indulged in recommended sushi, but next time, I will eat heartily.

I went to a sushi restaurant in both countries. It was the best sushi I've had recently. ■Order details - Chirashi sushi for 1000 yen: plenty of tuna, sweet shrimp, salmon roe, etc. It was delicious! There was chopped kelp under the rice, which was a nice touch. I am very satisfied with the 1000 yen chirashi. It's also nice that they serve miso soup as a drink. ■Miscellaneous notes You can eat at a thick and wide L-shaped counter. It feels like a real sushi restaurant.

I still have 5,000 yen left in my Tokyo GoTo campaign, I have plenty of coupons for Yakiniku Like, and starting next week there will be a 30% cashback with PayPay, so I have a lot to think about. But for a change, maybe it's okay to have a cash lunch without any special deals. However, in these times, getting sushi with miso soup and salad for 800 yen is amazing. Even with extra toppings, it's only 850 yen. The sushi rice is topped with egg, pickled ginger, and fish cake, which fills it up quite a bit. The nostalgic bright pink sakura denbu might be an acquired taste. The sushi doesn't seem the freshest, but it's not bad. The salad and miso soup are average. The place has a TV and offers good prices, but the atmosphere for lunch is a bit tense. Maybe it's because of the quiet owner and the signs prohibiting the use of smartphones. I asked if it was okay to take photos and they said yes, and in the end, I was the only customer besides myself, so maybe they should remove the no smartphone sign?

Today, I took a leisurely stroll around Ryogoku. Most shops are closed on Sundays, but I found a place with its curtain up and a menu board outside! The "chirashi" for 800 yen seemed very reasonable, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant had a lovely interior with an L-shaped counter and tatami seating on the left side. The fact that it also came with salad and miso soup for 800 yen was quite impressive. It's perfect for everyday dining. Thank you for the meal.

I met with a senior colleague whom I have known for 20 years at a nostalgic restaurant called Yoshikame to inform them about my recent job change. The restaurant, where we had practiced interview sessions in the past, opened at 11:30 am and we were warmly welcomed by the former young master, who is now the head chef, and the landlady. I ordered the premium sushi, which was reasonably priced, and enjoyed the high-quality ingredients. The pickled ginger was just like it used to be, which was comforting. The atmosphere was reminiscent of the past, and it felt like we had returned to those days. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed due to COVID-19 precautions, but there were acrylic partitions on the counter and air purifiers for safety. I was able to fully focus on enjoying the meal. I definitely plan on visiting again. So, just the curtain and signboard for now.

I had lunch at this place I passed by. There was a sign on the chopstick holder saying "Please refrain from using smartphones or mobile phones", so I could really focus on my meal. The sashimi set meal for 760 yen including tax seemed like a good deal. They served each piece of sushi separately to customers eating lunch. It was nice.

After a long time, I went to Yoshikame at night. The former sumo stablemaster was also there as a customer. We had appetizers, a sashimi platter, grilled fish, simmered flounder, fried blowfish, and sushi. Everything was delicious. Since one person was driving, we only had a toast with beer and sake from a barrel. Two hours flew by quickly. Quality comes at a price. They don't accept credit cards.

This is a familiar restaurant. I always choose the sushi here. The deliciousness of "Edomae sushi" was introduced to me by this restaurant. "Edomae sushi" is a type of cuisine. The lunch nigiri set is a great deal at 770 yen, but of course, the premium nigiri set has a different variety of toppings. It also comes with salad and a side dish like the lunch set, so I recommend this as well. Today, I had the premium nigiri set and the amount of sea urchin on the sea urchin nigiri was so generous that it spilled over. Thank you for the meal. ^ ^

Lunch =========== This restaurant serves delicious food at affordable prices. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend trying their lunch menu.

◎Cost performance ===========

In January 2011, there was a change in leadership at the restaurant, with the young master being promoted to head chef. The new head chef was urged to continue the legacy of the previous head chef, who was known for his exceptional flavors. The reviewer has been visiting this restaurant for almost 10 years and always finds new and surprising ingredients in their dishes. The sushi is not just ordinary, it is exceptional, with delicious egg omelette and amazing broth. The reviewer also praises the variety of hot pot dishes, tempura, grilled fish, and other specialties available at the restaurant. The sake and shochu selection is also highly recommended. The staff, including the head chef, the lady owner, and the young master, provide excellent service and surprise the customers with their dishes. The reviewer mentions that the restaurant is frequented by sumo wrestlers, indicating its popularity and quality. The reviewer also highlights the delicious dishes made with freshwater eel and the seasonal delicacy, conger eel. Additionally, they rave about the summer dishes featuring pike conger, which changed their perception of the fish. The review concludes by recommending the restaurant's affordable lunch option, which includes 1.5 servings of sushi for 1000 yen.

On a midsummer Saturday, my elementary school daughter said she wanted to eat sushi for lunch, so we decided to treat ourselves and go to a sushi restaurant. Although it was far from Ryogoku Station, I remembered a splendid sushi restaurant along Kura-mae Hashi-dori, so we headed there. When we arrived at the front of the restaurant, I hesitated a bit seeing the impressive sign that read "Sushi Kappo Yoshikame", but the attractive lunchtime menu caught my eye - nigiri for 750 yen for 1.5 servings, and 1000 yen for 2 servings. I was lured by the prices and found myself walking into the restaurant. It's rare to find a sushi restaurant open on weekends, so I was grateful. Inside, I was a bit surprised! The restaurant had a traditional Showa era ambiance, with a layout that included an L-shaped counter with about 10 seats and a raised tatami room, just like an old-fashioned sushi restaurant. The somewhat aloof master made the place seem intimidating to first-time visitors, but it was better than the overly friendly and cheap family restaurants these days. There were no other customers, and the master suggested we sit at the counter, but I hesitantly asked, "Can we just have lunch?" The master agreed, so we sat down feeling relieved. With no other customers around, I was able to fully enjoy the sushi master's skills. The taste was impeccable, with authentic Edomae sushi that left nothing to be desired. Unusual toppings like sea bream and ark shell were delicious, earning full marks for taste. The quality of the toppings was so high that I couldn't help but order beer and cold sake (Takashimizu Junmai) in the middle of the day. Given the size of the restaurant, it was clear that they weren't trying to cram in as many customers as possible for profit, but rather aimed to provide high-quality sushi to customers who appreciate good taste, embodying the master's dedication to his craft. We ordered two sets of nigiri lunch (with miso soup and a side dish) for 1.5 servings each, and one set for 1 serving, along with beer and a small bottle of cold sake, all for a total of less than 5000 yen, which I think is a great deal. The quality was so high that even if it cost around 5000 yen per person, it wouldn't be unreasonable. Families would greatly appreciate the same price even on Sundays. While cheap conveyor belt sushi is good, why not try authentic sushi once in a while?

I visited "Sushi Kappo Kikame" on Kuramae Hashidoori for lunch. The chef and the hostess were very friendly, and we had a great time chatting about local stories. I had the "Chirashi Sushi" lunch set (with salad and miso soup) for 1,000 yen (tax included). You can add extra for a larger portion. The chef's choice of fish for the day was fantastic, with special touches like changing the tai fish because I had come all the way there. The atmosphere created by the chef and probably his mother, the hostess, made the sushi experience even more special. The quality of the sushi for this price was unbelievable. Just a tip, there was a sign saying no photography near the fish display case, so it's better to ask before taking any pictures in the restaurant.

You can eat delicious food! The alcohol is also good!
