Due to various measures such as full-scale prevention and emergency declarations, I was able to visit for the first time in 2 years. To cut to the chase, it was amazing once again!! The taste, of course, but above all, the chef: Mr. Ando's personality doubles the deliciousness and fun, you know ^^ Now, what I had during this visit was... - Steamed egg custard with Hanasakigani and topped with Murasaki Uni Using plenty of Hanasakigani meat, with a crab broth-infused steamed egg custard topped with generous amounts of Uni, there's no way it could taste bad haha - Red snapper with salt and wasabi The red snapper was well aged, moist, and full of flavor - Tekkamaki Originally, he wanted to serve it with vinegared rice and seaweed, but to make it more interesting, he added some tuna scraps (as Mr. Ando said). The seaweed is the finest seaweed from Ariake, rich in the flavor of the sea, so delicious that you'd want to eat it with just seaweed alone - Kurikara roll This is undoubtedly one of Kuria's specialties! - Nishin The large-sized Nishin from Yoichi, with plenty of fat, was exquisite - Tuna akami Aged properly to bring out the flavor, only the delicious parts were served. It was slightly marinated just before being molded, giving it a refreshing taste of summer tuna with a hint of richness, transforming into a delicious tuna - Corn butter Representing the taste of summer in Hokkaido: corn served with butter, full of sweetness and umami - Striped jack Also well aged, the flavor was amazing - Botan shrimp Another Hokkaido specialty! It was delicious with a strong sweetness - Konoshiro Using konoshiro instead of small skin, I wonder if it's Mr. Ando's obsession!? It was a perfect way to end, with the right balance, and a summer-like sushi - Octopus simmered until tender It was so tender that it could be cut with chopsticks - Ezo abalone Needless to say, a delicious taste of summer - Liver sauce mixed with shari Rice vinegar mixed with liver sauce, there's no way it could taste bad haha - Kazuchi A first for me at Kuria. It was a nice appetizer and a good sake accompaniment - Bouillabaisse Kuria's signature dish! A superb dish made with soup prepared from various fish scraps, this time with Asari clams from Kushiro - Tuna chutoro Also properly aged, the flavor was condensed - Carabinero shrimp Following the Botan shrimp, the carabinero shrimp... having two types of shrimp was quite luxurious - Bafun uni The intensity of the flavor seemed to be reflected in the color, and it was a sweet and delicious uni!! - Anago The gentle sweetness of the anago matched perfectly with the claws - Owan A delicious miso soup that wraps the stomach gently - Huedai As an additional dish... it was served to make sure nothing was left out. Aged white fish becomes more delicious the longer it's aged! - Murasaki uni Since there was still some Murasaki left on top of the steamed egg custard, I had it molded. It had a different deliciousness from Bafun, and it's fun to taste the differences between the two - Castella tamago This was not an egg omelet but a dessert haha It made my mouth happy until the very end. Sake I drank - Draft beer (Sapporo Classic) - Atago no Matsu Comet - Ro Man - Saku Yozan Hitoshizuku - Daiyame carbonated water - Kame Shizuku carbonated water There are quite a number of Japanese sake bottles available, so it's hard to decide what to drink. Also, there are a few types of shochu available, and although the number is small, they offer some unique options. This time, I tried a slightly more unique selection of Japanese sake and shochu. With delicious sushi and enjoyable conversations with Mr. Ando, I ended up drinking a little too much, but it was a fun and enjoyable 2.5 hours! Considering the content and the amount of drinks, it's quite a bargain at just over 20,000 yen! However, please note that it starts all at once from 6:00 pm, so be careful. If you're coming from Sapporo Station, Odori, or Susukino, you might need to take a taxi, which costs around 30...
