I felt the potential in the pairing of sushi and sake at Asahi Sushi in Gotanda. When I heard they opened a new branch in Roppongi, I visited after some time had passed since the opening. The sake pairing by SAKEDIPLOMA staff at both locations is interesting! With the backing of the "Nihonshu Genkajo" creative place, they have established a clear sake selection and unique personality. While there are plenty of options for sushi and wine pairings in Tokyo, the same cannot be said for sushi and sake pairings, making places like this stand out. The focus on sake pairing at Sushi Mukou in Roppongi is similar to Asahi Sushi in Gotanda. They use pairing theories that enhance each other's charms and have a rare course. The speed and precision of staff training and manual development at both locations impressed me. The ability to have a set pairing style and educate young chefs through OJT is remarkable and something that traditional Edo-style sushi restaurants find challenging but is a strength due to their capital. While some may prefer individually-owned sushi restaurants, having both types contributes to the popularity of the genre. The charm of Sushi Mukou in Roppongi lies in its sake pairing. They focus on the sake more than the food, which is an important aspect to consider when designing a course. The variety of sake expressions and potential experienced through pairing one dish with sake and two pieces of sushi is fantastic. The set course with premium sake pairing at Sushi Mukou in Roppongi is priced at 14,300 yen, which is a great value considering its location near Roppongi Crossing. The course that includes rare Black Dragon sake for 15,900 yen is also impressive. The content of the course includes various sake pairings with dishes like tuna and sea urchin, grilled bream, and pumpkin potage, abalone, and more. Before entering the world of sake, you get a complimentary drink, which adds to the experience. The service is similar to the Gotanda location, with a free drink before the sake. Overall, Sushi Mukou in Roppongi offers an excellent sake pairing experience that is worth trying.

I visited a sushi restaurant in Roppongi where the sake pairing was very unique and skillful. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice and I was looking forward to it. The pairing started with a toast of Premium Malt beer, which had a good bitterness and a refreshing taste. Then came the dishes. First, I had three seasonal appetizers - turnip with cream cheese, Matsumae pickles, and more. The flavors were elegant and I was excited for the upcoming sushi. One dish had minced tuna with sea urchin. The pairing was a sparkling water pepper sake, which complemented the acidity of the tuna. Next, I tried a sake called Five paired with three dishes. It was a white koji sake with a sweet and sour taste that harmonized well with the upcoming sushi. The dishes were wrapped in a subtle acidity. I also had a rich-tasting sake with red snapper. The pairing was perfect for the three recommended dishes. Then, I tried a cloudy sake called Imada, which was easy to drink. Grilled amberjack with sea urchin and pumpkin was next, and the aroma was irresistible. Then I had Kasubodai and seared barracuda, both with unique flavors. I also tried a special sake made by the restaurant, paired with steamed abalone with liver sauce. It was delicious. I had scallops and fatty tuna, both with rich flavors. Then, I tried shirako, which was amazing when mixed with sushi rice. The sake was called Seiko, with a refined and elegant taste. I also had small skin sushi, red tuna, and more. The meal ended with silver cod in Kyoto-style and conger eel hand rolls. Finally, I had a dessert sake called Kokuryu. Overall, I enjoyed a variety of sake pairings and delicious sushi. The detailed explanations from the staff made the experience even better!

The cost performance is very good! Both the sushi and other dishes were delicious. The fish is fresh, and the rice in the sushi is tasty. The appetizers, toro and sea urchin, mozuku seaweed, abalone liver sauce, otoro, kue, hand-rolled sushi, miso soup, were particularly delicious.

Sushi Muku has a traditional sushi restaurant feel, suitable for business meetings, dates, or family gatherings. On the other hand, Sushi Shirogane has a silver-gray theme, perfect for dates with a luxurious and stylish bar-like ambiance. *Currently, it seems that you cannot specify the restaurant on Tabelog, but you can make reservations through the official website. So, this time I made a reservation for Sushi Shirogane!!! ⭐️ Sushi and Japanese sake pairing ⭐️ - Omakase course: 8,800 yen for 20 items - Japanese sake pairing course: 14,300 yen Featuring 8 types of Japanese sake selected by SAKE DIPLOMA. This restaurant is highly recommended for Japanese sake pairing. If you enjoy sake, the pairing is a must-try!!! Even for a reservation for 2 people, they can accommodate one person for pairing. The amount of sake can be adjusted to your preference, and refills are possible, making it almost like all-you-can-drink at a reasonable price.

High cost performance. The location is not a factor, as good sushi restaurants are not dependent on location. The quality of the sushi itself is good. The price is reasonable for the high quality and variety of sushi, but two pieces of nigiri fell apart as soon as they were picked up, which is unacceptable. The steamed abalone with butter or cream sauce felt heavy to me, with a bitter taste overpowering the umami of the abalone and liver. Also, was it necessary to serve the last piece of conger eel with seaweed? It seemed like they were trying to add a twist, but it might have been better to serve it simply as conger eel nigiri. Due to the price range, there is a mix of customers, and at times, I felt hesitant about the clientele. Finding the right balance can be challenging.

I found a great deal on sushi online. They said the apprentice sushi chef's skills were just as good as the others. I made a reservation for the omakase dinner. The apprentice chef was the one making the sushi, but their communication skills were lacking. The sushi itself was just okay. The rice and fish were unusually small. I usually order less rice, but this time it was too easy. It's not about the price being cheap, but I wouldn't recommend it to those who want to eat quality sushi.

Located right near the Roppongi intersection. The sushi by itself is delicious, but the choice of pairing with Japanese sake is superb. For example, the Kaifudo (seafood) was a great match. It was my first time trying it, and it paired well with tuna. Overall, there are many types of fish with a rich umami flavor, which I enjoy. My favorite sea urchin was not included in the course, so I ordered it as an extra.

I have been feeling the impact of high prices lately, even at my favorite sushi restaurant where the bill has increased significantly. But now, I have found a place I have been waiting for. For 8,800 yen, you can enjoy a 20-course meal with a Japanese sake pairing for an additional 15,000 yen. Plus, they offer refills on the sake. Starting with appetizers, the sushi was also very satisfying. Especially the abalone liver sauce was a taste I have never experienced before. The staff are handsome and have wonderful smiles. I definitely want to visit again.

I met my former boss for the first time in a while and we went to Sushi Muku/Sushi Shirogane in Roppongi. It's located very close to the station, just a short walk from Roppongi crossing. It's on the B1 floor of the Ootoya building on the 2nd floor. The sign says Roppongi Sushi Apartment. We started with a toast with Ebisu Meister beer, which had a refreshing bitterness. - Seasonal appetizers: 1. Kujo negi and chrysanthemum ohitashi - gentle and the texture of the negi was good. 2. Cream cheese in sake lees - had a strong sake lees flavor and the richness of the cream cheese was nice. 3. Water octopus with plum dressing - wonderful texture and a balanced plum flavor. 4. Chutoro pairing - chutoro with negitoro, Azumino wasabi, and Murasaki uni, paired with Mizubasho sparkling sake. 5. Sashimi - sashimi of conger eel with a delicate flavor. 6. Mozuku vinegar - had a firm texture and the combination of ingredients was great. 7. Nigiri sushi of water octopus - excellent texture and taste. 8. Summer vegetable ohitashi - with a special sauce and ingredients like shiba ebi, okra, young corn, eggplant, and micro tomato. 9. Nigiri sushi of sea bass - nicely firm and flavorful. 10. Nigiri sushi of young red snapper - thick and flavorful, with a sweet finish. 11. Specialty steamed abalone - tender abalone with a creamy liver sauce. 12. Nigiri sushi of scallop - lightly seared and full of flavor. 13. Nigiri sushi of bluefin tuna - melted in the mouth with a strong taste. 14. Small bowl of autumn salmon and clam with kinoko dashi pairing - deliciously cooked salmon with a flavorful dashi. 15. Nigiri sushi of seasonal fish - firm and flavorful. 16. Nigiri sushi of bluefin tuna marinated in yuzu - balanced flavors of marinated tuna and refreshing yuzu. 17. Nigiri sushi of lean bluefin tuna marinated - with a hint of yuzu and a nice balance of flavors. 18. Nigiri sushi of marinated red tuna - with a refreshing yuzu flavor. 19. Nigiri sushi of seasonal fish - firm and flavorful. Overall, the meal was delicious and the pairings were perfect. The dishes were beautifully presented and the flavors were exquisite.

I purchased a membership through crowdfunding, but the price seems to have gone up right away, which is disappointing... It also seems difficult to make reservations, so I was wondering what to do... Overall, the food was delicious and the sake was also delicious! The specialty abalone was particularly delicious.

I visited the restaurant twice for their course menu. They served several types of sake, which was nice! The location near Roppongi station is convenient, and the cost performance is quite good. They even provided a birthday plate, which was very helpful. I will definitely use their service again!

This year, I visited Sushi Muku again for my companion's birthday, as per their request. The great thing about this place is the value for money. The omakase course costs 8,800 yen, and with sake pairing, it's 14,300 yen. This time, there was a special offer where for an additional 500 yen, you could get fresh oysters with the omakase course. Reservations are a must as the place gets fully booked quickly. I've been feeling a bit sluggish lately, so I opted for a light alcohol option like plum wine soda, while my companion went for the sake pairing. The omakase course included 20 dishes like Hokkaido rock oysters, and the sake pairing was different from the last time. The chef even gave us mini bottles as souvenirs (only with the pairing course). It seems they also provide a special plate for birthdays, but my companion doesn't like being the center of attention, so we opted for a regular reservation. Sitting at the counter where the chef prepares the sushi in front of you is a special experience. My companion was very satisfied, although they don't show it outwardly. I would definitely recommend this place for delicious food. I hope to visit again someday. Here is what we had that day: - Omakase course with selected fresh oysters: 9,300 yen (reservation required) - Sake pairing for my companion for an additional 5,500 yen - Plum wine soda x2: 600 yen each Seasonal omakase course menu: - Appetizers: seaweed and Kyoto-style deep-fried vegetables, scallop, cream cheese with sake lees, negitoro, sea urchin, salmon roe with sake pairing - Sliced conger eel with roasted sake - Vinegared mozuku seaweed with grated nagaimo and pickled ginger - Sushi: Hokkaido octopus with sudachi citrus - Hokkaido rock oyster - Summer vegetable salad - Sushi: sea bass - Sushi: young red snapper - Steamed abalone - Sushi: scallop - Sushi: fatty tuna - Red snapper rice bowl with chilled soup pairing - Sushi: horse mackerel with green onions - Sushi: marinated bluefin tuna with yuzu peel - Grilled silver cod - Steamed sushi with tilefish - Hand-rolled eel sushi with sansho pepper - Clam soup - Tamagoyaki

Located in Roppongi, this place has a concept of serving delicious sushi at a reasonable price. I made a reservation for the pairing course with sake for 14,300 yen, and added a seasonal oyster for 500 yen. The sushi and dishes were all carefully prepared and there were a generous 20 dishes in total, leaving us fully satisfied. The pairing sake was served with 3 dishes and you could have refills in between, which was a great service for sake lovers. The restaurant has two rooms with different interiors, one with a calm wooden theme and the other with a stylish modern theme. We were in the modern room, so the photos are from there. There are both counter and table seats, allowing you to interact with the staff while enjoying sushi with friends or on a date. Highly recommended for both value and different occasions: Date with a girl ☆☆☆, Hanging out with friends ☆☆☆

Sushi Asahi in Gotanda was a favorite restaurant of mine, and I occasionally visited. Upon hearing that they had opened a new branch, I decided to head to Roppongi by train. Exiting from the 4a subway exit, I arrived at the new location in no time. The underground setting gave off a feeling of a hidden gem, promising something special to come. The course included sushi paired with different types of sake. The appetizers were delicious, especially the cream cheese, octopus with plum sauce, and eggplant. The pairing of sake with the seafood dishes was remarkable. Each sushi piece was delicate and flavorful, with the uni being a standout. The pairing of sake with each dish enhanced the dining experience. The abalone with liver sauce was rich and succulent, while the scallop sushi was juicy and flavorful. The meal ended with a corn rice dish and scallop broth, which was a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. The dining experience was truly exceptional, with each dish showcasing the chef's skill and creativity.

This is a restaurant that only offers an omakase course. Although they also have pairings, on this day we just had drinks separately. The omakase course consists of a total of 20 dishes. The sushi rice used has a firm texture and is seasoned with red vinegar. Among them, my favorites were 9 dishes! - Seasonal appetizers: 3 varieties - Eggplant soaked in red vinegar, cream cheese with sake lees, octopus with plum - Negitoro pairing: A rich dish with salted salmon roe and sea urchin, paired with craft cola - Steamed gourd and mallow soup - Nigiri sushi with sea bass - Steamed abalone, a signature dish that is steamed for 6 hours and served with a rich sauce - Fresh bluefin tuna, medium fatty tuna - Vinegared small skin fish - Steamed sushi of blackthroat seaperch - Castella-style caramelized apple dessert The restaurant has counter seats, tables, and private rooms. The service is prompt and the staff is friendly. Located right in front of Roppongi intersection, it's amazing that you get 20 dishes of this quality for only 8,800 yen. The portion size was satisfying, and even with the pairing option at 15,000 yen, it's a great value for the quality. On this day, we also had yuzu honey soda, apple juice, and the omakase course. I highly recommend this place for sushi beginners or those looking for a great dining experience!

I made a reservation for the affordable "Kagerou" course, which is only available for a limited time, in order to experience the skills of a young chef. When I went to the restaurant, I couldn't find it at first because the signage was not very noticeable. However, it turned out to be a hidden gem located underground, which added to the charm of the experience. Each dish was meticulously prepared, and the pricing of the sake was clear and reasonable. The service was also excellent. The small dishes of pike conger eel and conger eel were both light and delicious. I definitely want to visit again. Considering the location just 30 seconds from Roppongi crossing, the price was quite reasonable and offered great value for money.

Thank you very much for always reading ✨ If you like it, please try bookmarking the restaurant with the "Save shop" button. A restaurant in Roppongi, Tokyo. I went with my partner. Even on a Sunday, it was a popular restaurant with a constant flow of customers ✨ I was surprised to find such a good restaurant right at the Roppongi intersection (*'▽'*). It had the atmosphere of a high-class sushi restaurant, but it was very reasonable ✨ The taste was also excellent! I really found a good restaurant here. They use Fukushima's Koshihikari rice and aged red vinegar from Ehime, which I liked. The sushi rice was to my liking as well. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant (*^▽^*).

Last year, Muku opened at the end of the year. You can enjoy authentic sushi and appetizers in a casual atmosphere, which is rare in this area. Known for being a sister store of a Japanese sake izakaya, they have a great selection of famous and rare sake. They have also started late-night operations since last month, making it even more convenient. #Sushi Muku #Muku #sushi #sushi #late-night operations #roppongi #Roppongi #Roppongi gourmet #Tokyo gourmet #Tokyo gourmet #sushi lovers #sushi lovers #likeme #followme

I went to a restaurant in the Kagerou Project. The difference between the pure counter and the silver counter is impressive, and I thought the silver counter could be used for private parties. There are also private tables, and the layout of the restaurant is convenient depending on the number of people. It is close to Roppongi intersection, and I think it is easy to access from both Nogizaka Station and Roppongi Station.

"Sushi Muku/Sushi Hakugin, a hangover meal for the day after. I wanted to eat sushi! So, I found this restaurant while searching around. It's located in the basement of Hoshino Coffee shop, right near Roppongi crossing, called "Sushi Muku/Sushi Hakugin". Muku? Hakugin? Is it like two shops combined? Apparently, they offer course meals paired with sake, so I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. When I entered the basement of Hoshino Coffee shop, the door was a bit intimidating to enter. But I mustered up the courage and went in, and inside, it was just like a regular sushi restaurant! There's a counter and some counter-box seats adjacent to the counter. Highlighted Menu: - Chef's Choice Course 8000 yen - Chef's Choice Course with Premium Sake Pairing 14300 yen I opted for the Premium Sake Pairing course. The course started with a complimentary beer for those choosing the pairing course. The first dish was a seasonal appetizer trio, which paired well with beer. Particularly, the tsurumurasaki was a unique and delicious ingredient. Next was a spoonful of negitoro and ikura on vinegar rice, paired with Sparkling Mizubasho sake, which was very easy to drink. The following dishes were paired with different sakes, such as hamo, mozuku vinegar, and squid. Each sushi piece was delicious and paired with a corresponding sake. The standout dish was the steamed abalone, paired with Dassai sake and Dassai sake rice. The abalone was served in a golden shell and was delightful. The meal continued with various sushi pieces and sake pairings, ending with a hot sake pairing for the last few dishes. The meal concluded with an egg dessert and clam miso soup. Overall, it was an impressive 20-course meal, and the sake pairings were excellent. I lost count of how many glasses I drank, but it was definitely a lot. The focus seemed to be more on the appetizers than the sushi itself, so if you're looking for just sushi, it might be different. But if you want to enjoy a variety of sake, this place is highly recommended!"

At ROPPONGI Sushi Apartment, there are two shops, and the atmosphere inside the Sushi Shirogane shop was great. Although there wasn't a Japanese sake pairing course, some sushi and sake sets were served together, which was delightful. Especially the sweet sake paired with the caramelized egg at the end was delicious. Also, the steamed abalone with liver sauce dish, and the secret dish named "㊙︎" which is meant to be eaten with sake rice, were amazing. The rice was not freshly cooked, but slightly firm, and it was incredibly tasty. It was a new and unique experience!

The atmosphere is average. It's a bit bothersome to be asked to register something on my smartphone. They say you can view the menu on your phone too. It's a sushi restaurant, so I wonder why they make you touch your phone when you're here to enjoy a meal. The quality of the sushi and appetizers is average. The sushi chef is skilled, but the rice wasn't to my liking. They use red vinegar, which overpowers the flavor of the fish. The rice dominates each piece, making it hard to taste the fish. If it weren't for that, my satisfaction would have been higher. However, sushi preferences vary, so this is just one opinion. The owner and staff were very nice. I might give it another try if I feel like it.
