Choumeizai has eaten sushi in Tokyo many many times, his favorite sushi shop is the one located at Kabukicho(歌舞伎町), although its fame is near zero, but the quality of food is much better than some so-called famous restaurant.
Sushi shop is located at the opposite side of Shinjuku Prince Hotel, the shop front is quite small, it sells seasonal seafood, the menu changes with the seasons. In winter, the shop has whole big ark shells, springy and sweet, very delicious.
The most attractive is seasonal tuna(Toro), four big pieces for only 700yen, the meats are thick, you can tell all are fresh from the color, and the taste won’t disappoint you, savor and moist with rich fish oil.
The small side dishes are also excellent, Choumeizai really likes the bamboo shoots cooked with clear soup, delicious and refreshing, full of the flavor and happiness of nature.
The food of this sushi shop is super fresh, while the price is reasonable also, every time Choimeizai comes to Tokyo, he must come here to eat sushi.
On the other hand, all staff in this restaurant are grandmas and grandpas, but this restaurant opens until very late at night, which is quite hard for them.
