I generally don't write revisited reviews because it's a hassle. However, I have some additional information that I must share about this restaurant, so I'm writing this review. Surprisingly, the sushi at this restaurant is only 10 yen per piece. It's not a typo for 100 yen, it's really just 10 yen. Originally, this place is a tempura restaurant, but it seems to have a capital relationship with a sushi restaurant called "Unnamed Sushi" in Shinjuku, and now they have two chefs, one for tempura and one for sushi. However, you can't just have sushi for 10 yen without any conditions. You must first order a drink, which is a bit pricey with a draft beer costing 550 yen (tax included). Additionally, an appetizer is required, which costs 300 yen (tax included). Despite this, I decided to enter the restaurant thinking that I could make up for it with the 10 yen sushi. Unfortunately, the draft beer came in a glass instead of a mug, and the appetizer was a fish bone stew with root vegetables. The sushi for 10 yen per piece varies depending on the day, and on this day, it was yellowtail. It seems that yellowtail is often served. The rice was a bit dry, and the yellowtail was slightly lacking in freshness, but considering the fact that the sushi was only 10 yen per piece, I didn't think it was worth complaining about. I had 10 pieces that day, so I only spent 100 yen on sushi, which was a steal. Adding the 550 yen for the beer and 300 yen for the appetizer, the total came to 950 yen. I left the restaurant thinking how lucky I was to have sushi, beer, and change from a thousand yen. However, I want to compare this experience with "Kappa Sushi". The cheapest plate at Kappa Sushi is 2 pieces for 110 yen (tax included), so 10 pieces would cost 550 yen. A medium draft beer costs 429 yen (tax included), bringing the total to 979 yen. While Kappa Sushi doesn't serve appetizers, you can have free pickled ginger as a snack. In other words, although the 10 yen sushi at this restaurant seemed like a great deal, when considering the total cost, it's about the same as Kappa Sushi. So, writing a revisited review was probably unnecessary, but since I've already written it, I'll go ahead and post it.
