The tuna tastes great. The amount of rice is just right, not too much. Comes with yudofu soup.

The mackerel sushi I received as a souvenir was incredibly delicious. It made me question what I had been eating before. The vinegar was subtly present, with a hint of saltiness that was refreshing. The quality oil and melting shari were exquisite. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

I found out that I could eat Tekka-don for 1000 yen, so I decided to check it out. When I entered, there were no other customers, so I might be the first one. I looked at the lunch menu and saw various options like nigiri sushi, chirashi sushi, and a mini kaiseki set, but there was no Tekka-don listed (sweat). I asked if they had Tekka-don, and they said "yes." It might not be listed on the menu. The Tekka-don that came out had good quality ingredients. The fish was finely sliced, making it easy to eat in one bite, and it even came with miso soup, so it's quite a good deal. There was no background music, and the serious-looking chef was working silently. The atmosphere was a bit tense. However, he started talking to me in the middle, and I realized he was actually very friendly and I felt at ease. It seems like the chef is actually a talkative person. I would like to come back for dinner at this sushi restaurant.

It was about 18 years ago when I lived in this neighborhood. It was my 2nd or 3rd year of marriage, and we had just had a baby when we moved to this area. The first time we went out to eat with our baby was at this restaurant. Looking back now, it may have been a bit thoughtless of us. It was only a 2-minute walk from our house, so we casually walked in. The owners, the master and his wife, were kind to us even though we had a newborn, and they seemed to be enjoying their work while chatting with the regular customers. We were still young and much poorer back then, so we didn't go to "non-conveyor belt sushi" restaurants often. This place had what I thought was a normal price range, but at that time, I felt it was a high-end restaurant. After that, I don't think we ever dined in the restaurant. However, every year we would buy the sushi rolls for Setsubun here. The sushi rolls here are different from any other place. They are priced slightly higher, about 100 yen more than the "very ordinary" and not particularly delicious sushi rolls, but they taste completely different. They are so delicious!! Even though we have moved to a different place now, we still come here every year to buy the sushi rolls. Today is February 3rd, Setsubun. Of course, after this, I will go pick up the pre-ordered sushi rolls and enjoy them with my family at night. I am from Kyoto, and in the past, we didn't have the concept of "Ehomaki" (lucky direction sushi rolls). I think we used to call it "eating sushi rolls in one bite." It seems that it became popular nationwide due to a strategy by seaweed merchants in Osaka. Well, it's fine, right? If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it. In our case, Setsubun → sushi rolls → prosperity → a condominium near Tenjin-san → triggers nostalgic memories of when our children were young, once a year. Such memories also affect my evaluation. In my case. I thought about going to the restaurant with my family once. At that time, my daughter, who couldn't eat sushi as an infant, is turning twenty soon, but she has a fish allergy and can't eat sushi... On Setsubun, as usual, I remembered and looked up the restaurant on Tabelog, and was surprised to see that it wasn't well-reviewed. (Added the next day) Yesterday, we ate at home! The price was slightly raised to 640 yen per roll, but it was still super delicious! Is there anago oboro (softened conger eel) in it? This flavor is the best. If you're going to eat a 380 yen supermarket sushi roll, it's definitely better to go here! Ma'am!! For me, 640 yen may not be a waste, but 380 yen is a waste!! (＾＾ｖ

When I asked to eat sushi during my Kyoto tour, the taxi driver kindly took me to a small restaurant recommended by him. The energetic owner greeted us with a warm "welcome" in the cozy atmosphere. Since it was lunchtime, I ordered a chirashi sushi thinking I wouldn't eat much. Unlike many places that pile various types of fish when you uncover the lid, this place was simple. However, it's not about the quantity but the "taste", and I remember it being very delicious with fresh fish. The few other dishes we ordered were also subtly seasoned. Although I can't remember clearly, the owner was not originally from Kyoto but had come here to start anew and made efforts to fit in with the local culture, sharing stories of his struggles and experiences (even some jokes about Kyoto locals). It was a pleasant memory dining and chatting with such a friendly person.

I had a delivery meal. I usually don't eat lunch and I was worried because I always leave a lot of rice in rice bowl dishes. But it was so delicious! The tuna had a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Before I knew it, I had finished eating faster than anyone else. My friends, who know my usual small appetite, were surprised.
