On this day, I went to Kitashinchi. I wanted to eat sushi, so I went to this restaurant recommended by a friend (*´∀`)♪ I arrived at the restaurant at 6:00 PM. The restaurant is located in a building on the back of Doshima Nakadori in Kitashinchi. The interior of the restaurant has only 11 counter seats. It was almost full on this day, and there were many young customers. I had made a reservation for the omakase course (20,000 yen) on this day. We started the course with a toast with bottled beer ( ^ ^ )/□ The appetizers were not just sashimi, they were also seared directly on charcoal or blanched in kombu dashi, adding an extra touch. Personally, I love seared sashimi, so I was very happy (*´ω`*) Along with warm dishes like steamed eel sushi and simmered abalone, we also had unique items like pressed herring sushi and Toro tataki that I had never seen before (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))♡ There were many dishes, but the portions were large, so I was beyond full and felt like I was going to burst (*≧艸≦) The chef was friendly, and I was able to relax and enjoy the meal (*´∀`)♪ It's no wonder there are many repeat customers for this unique and exceptional taste. Thank you for the meal.
<Kitashinchi Sushi Yujiro Course Omakase> 20,000 yen including tax
◎ Seared Bonito with White Asparagus and Truffle Sauce... Bonito seared directly on charcoal, served with white asparagus and truffle sauce and sea grapes. It was my first time having Bonito with a Western-style sauce. The light white meat went well with the French-style sauce!
◎ Densuke Conger Eel and Meichidai... Sashimi quickly dipped in kombu dashi. It was served with grated daikon and ponzu sauce. The Densuke conger eel, sliced like an eel, was delicious! I also enjoyed the wakame seaweed with the remaining ponzu sauce.
◎ Botan Shrimp Soy Koji Pickles... The Botan shrimp had a sticky texture and a sweet taste that was amazing (*´Д`*) When combined with white fish and caviar, it made me crave sake.
◎ Eel, Salmon Roe, and Matsutake Steamed Sushi... When the lid was lifted, the aroma of Matsutake mushrooms wafted up (*´Д`*) The eel was surprisingly light, and it was very delicious when eaten with warm vinegar rice.
◎ Clam Soup... A very rich clam soup. It was so delicious that I wanted a second serving. (Nigiri)
◎ Hairy Crab... A hairy crab nigiri with frozen superfruit tomato grated on top. The coldness and sweetness of the tomato were refreshing (*´Д`*)
○ Japanese Flying Squid... Served with rice flour salt, sudachi citrus, and karasumi. Personally, I prefer squid that is a bit more aged.
◎ Chutoro... Chutoro from Koshino natural bluefin tuna. It slowly melted on the tongue (*´Д`*)
◎ Steamed Abalone... Thick-cut abalone (*≧∀≦*) I became captivated by the chewy texture. When I mixed the remaining liver sauce with the rice, it tasted like a rich risotto (*´Д`*) (Nigiri)
◎ Herring... When it was placed on the charcoal, a huge amount of smoke rose Σ(゚д゚lll) The seared herring had a fluffy texture, and when I put it in my mouth, the fragrant fat oozed out. It was my first time having herring sushi, but it was also my first time eating herring like this!
- Oyster... A spoonful of plump oyster (*´Д`*) Unfortunately, due to an oyster allergy, I could only take a photo (;∀;)
○ Ankimo... Minced Ankimo from Yoichi served with Nara pickles and wasabi. I had always thought that Ankimo went well with ponzu sauce, so the unexpected combination was surprising. The Ankimo itself was very sweet, almost like a dessert.
◎ Seared Alfonsino Hand Roll... Alfonsino seared on charcoal in a hand roll. It wasn't as fatty as the herring, but it had a good amount of fat. (Nigiri)
◎ Spot Prawn... A large and plump spot prawn (*≧∀≦*) It was firm and had a satisfying texture.
◎ Sea Urchin... Sea urchin on top of thinly sliced egg wrapping the rice, with Rishiri Bafun sea urchin on top. It was a sea urchin feast with sea urchin sauce and all (*≧∀≦*) A dish of pure happiness.
○ Cold Conger Eel Soup... A soup made with conger eel and toro tofu, topped with corn puree. The sweet corn was delicious. (Nigiri)
○ Marinated Lean Tuna... Well-marinated lean tuna ===========
