Happy Ehuu Sushi Day (๑>◡<๑)

My favorite sushi restaurant, Kino-suke-san.
Starting from August, the restaurant will cease its daytime operations and will only remain open from 7:00 PM to 19:00 PM.
And I heard that the "おまかせコース" has an upgraded menu, and the price increases to 11,000 yen. So, I decided to book the reservation by myself while I still had the chance to go.
We arrived at the restaurant at 18:30.
The restaurant is located within Shinohozuka Station, just 10 seconds' walk from the north entrance of the station.
The restaurant has only 8 seats on the counter.
On that day, all tables were fully booked due to advance reservations.
It's a two-person team consisting of the head chef and his daughter (on a part-time basis).

The menu is set up on the table in advance, and you can learn about any allergies or ingredients you may be sensitive to before the meal begins.
I was thirsty, so I started with a bottle of beer. The glass is made of pottery and has good foam.
Today was the Uso no Usu Day, so while the side dishes were delicious, the last bite of the sushi was also a snake.
They use a hidden knife as a trick to add variation to the texture of the food, and they also pay attention to details like changing the saltiness between the first and second halves of the dish. The chef's skills remain as outstanding as ever.
Since I was alone on this day, I retired with one medium-sized bottle of beer and two cups of alcohol.
Honestly, I want to drink more (*≧艸≦)
They offer half a cup of alcohol instead of one cup, allowing me to enjoy a wider variety of drinks. (*≧艸≦)

Thank you for your hospitality.


＜おまかせコース＞6,700円・税込

◎和歌山県産のハモの湯引き――旬の鱧を梅肉ではなく、辛子酢味噌で味付けしました。
It has a slightly pungent taste with chili, but it feels more like a dish with the flavor of trout than plum. Personally, I really enjoy this way of eating it.
It also pairs well with beer.

◎イカの炙り酒と和え物…これは日本酒のみを使用したものです(*≧艸≦)
Therefore, I ordered beer as a aperitif and sake as a drink of choice.
Just the salty aroma of the sake thief makes the sake taste even better.

◎鰻蒲焼き うざく風・・・肉厚な鰻をさらに焼き、塩もみしたキュウリの酢物を添えた「うざく風」。
The fat of the eel is complemented by the refreshing sourness of cucumber, creating a delightful contrast.

・帆立の酒蒸し・・・熱々の酒蒸しに三つ葉を添えて。
It was hot, and due to the size of the portion, it was difficult to eat with just one bite. This was also observed among other female guests.
It would be very helpful if you could cut it down and serve it to me.

◎握り料理・・・ひらめ（愛媛県）、あおりいか（島根県）、かんぱち（長崎県）、つぶ貝（北海道県）、金目鯛（静岡県）。
After holding it, I rubbed the pickled octopus. The finely chopped anchovies, and the crunchy scallop were all delicious. However, the camarão that had a little ginger added was particularly tasty.

○茶碗蒸し・・・椎茸と三つ葉を使った茶碗蒸し。

◎ Seafood to be served: Bluefish (Hiroshima), Tuna (Nagasaki), Waki (Hiroshima), Sake tuna (Nagasaki), Eel (Kagoshima).
The shari in the second half has a strong red vinegar flavor. The three-fish dish, featuring salmon with its skin roasted over fire, is my favorite (๑>◡<๑).
From the red-fleshed parts, there are some medium-sized tuna that were grilled. Both types of fish are delicious~(*´Д｀*)

○赤だし

◎手巻き寿司・・・鮪を中心とした今日の魚の端っこを叩いて手巻きに。
Simply outstanding (*≧∀≦*)

After a long time, I have the chance to have lunch here again.
We arrived at the restaurant at 12:30.
The restaurant is located within a 10-second walk from the north entrance of Sōshō Station, diagonally to the left of the entrance.
As of January 2025, both lunch and dinner options are limited to courses only. Lunch services begin at 12:30.
The interior has only a counter with about 10 seats.
If it's empty, you can enter without making a reservation. However, it’s recommended to make a reservation.
The lunch course costs 4,900 yen. It includes 4 side dishes, 10 katanas of sushi, a variety of rolls, tea bowl steamed goods, and red broth.
At night, the menu offers more premium items compared to daytime. The serving size remains 12 kanzas for all dishes; otherwise, the price is the same at 7,500 yen.
Lunch is quite affordable.

On that day, I saw a review of this restaurant on Instagram and really wanted to try the dish. I started with the *ushi katsu* prepared by the staff at the beachside location (*≧∀≦*).
Although it's not currently available, Kinosuke-san was originally a restaurant that served takeout salmon sushi. Their salmon sashimi and salmon sushi are absolutely delicious.
It's been a long time since I last had Kino-suke’s grilled salmon. I’m so happy to have it now〜(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
The side dishes and sushi that followed were both delicious, and I couldn't help but enjoy the sake even more.

Next time, let's come at night (*´∀`)♪
Thank you for your hospitality.

All of them have a flavor that fully utilizes the characteristics of the ingredients. The sauce is not too strong, and the balance between the shari and the main dish is excellent.

Since my friend from Kyoto decided to visit Osaka, it's been a long time since I've been here. (๑>◡<๑)
Arrived at the restaurant at 6 p.m. The restaurant is just 10 seconds' walk from the north entrance of Shinoshō Station!
Even in the rain, it remains dry—very convenient indeed (*´∀`)♪
The interior of the restaurant has about 10 counter seats.

Previously, an à la carte menu was available, but now there is only one type of course menu.
Daytime service costs 4,700 yen, while evening service costs 7,500 yen.
Starting from June, the daytime service will begin at 12:30, while the evening service will run from 6 PM to 9 PM. The latest arrival time for customers is at 7 PM.
Let's start with a beer toast for good times♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪
The side dishes are good, but what really stands out is the delicious noodles here.
As it's a "night order," the portion size is 12 kens, so it's quite filling. (*´Д｀*)
The salmon was so delicious that I thought about eating it again later, but I couldn’t manage to do so (;´д｀)

Next, we have the lunch menu. Let's add 2 to 3 kens more (*≧艸≦).
Thank you for your hospitality.

Those who want to go to Kinosuke-san! This is a lunch sushi restaurant.
Reservations made at 12 o'clock. Visit at that time.
The restaurant is located within a 5-second walk from the north entrance of Sannojo Station.

That day, it was our private reservation.

Once it was only available as a course, but now both a course and individual items are available.

Additionally, for the initial five koku, you can enjoy "omakase niki gari go koku" for just 1,500 yen.
We ordered a great-value lunch course.

Since Kinosuke-san is having a full-day open house, let's enjoy some affordable lunch dishes tonight (*´∀`)♪
Rescheduled visit at 12 o'clock.
The restaurant is located within a 30-second walk from the north entrance of Sōshō Station.
The interior has only a counter with about 10 seats.
Being guided towards the back of the counter, I first spent some time looking at the menu.
First, let's enjoy a set of wines while eating sashimi. (*´∀`)♪
After that, just follow my instructions: use the "single item addition" strategy.

It's noon, yet the restaurant is almost full. However, since a new apprentice started working in April, the head chef can focus solely on preparing sushi.
The wines I received all matched well with the sushi and were delicious (*´Д｀*)
In this review, the golden cod was particularly delicious(*´∀`)♪

On weekdays at noon, it’s possible to come here even without a prior reservation. However, on weekends and holidays, it’s recommended to make reservations in advance.
Thank you for your hospitality.

This dish pairs well with sushi.

この日は上新庄へ。
Why couldn’t I resist ordering sushi? I made an online reservation for a limited-time menu option the day before (*´∀`)♪
We arrived at the restaurant at 17:45.
The restaurant is located within a 10-second walk from the north entrance of Sakura-Mi Shiozō Station.
The interior has a long counter at the back, with only about 10 seats.
The first guests were only three people, but the entire table was fully booked.

There are two types of à la carte courses that require reservation the day before. The menu includes 5 side dishes and 12 hand-turned steaks. The option "Hua" with hand-rolled and red broth costs 5,500 yen.
The upper grip style of "Yasushi" costs 7,700 yen.
A "Omakase Gari" consisting of 12 kanzas with red broth costs 3,500 yen. This item can be ordered without a reservation.
Additionally, that day's fish can be ordered as sashimi or nigiri.
I ordered a dish called “華”, which cost 5,500 yen.

Starting from April, it seems that Georgian wines will be available here. But on this day, Georgian wines were not yet available, so I ordered Japanese sake instead.
It's nice to look at the menu by yourself and order food. The excitement of not knowing what will be served is just too much fun, so I prefer courses.
I ordered alcohol, side dishes, and sushi. I added about 2 kens of items that weren't included in the menu, and then paid for it.
Starting in April, we will have a continuous operation from noon onwards, allowing customers to enjoy wine. So, please come here for a casual drink during the day (*≧∀≦*)
※However, there is no lunch menu like during the previous daytime operations. It seems that the menu offered is the same as that for evening hours.

The desire for sushi was fulfilled(*´∀`)♪
Thank you for the hospitality.


＜おまかせ 華＞5,500円・税込み

◎マス刺身…モミジの酢とポン酢を添えて(*´∀`)♪
The fat is present, and the crust has a fragrant taste, making it delicious.

◎ホタルイカの酢味噌和え・・・今年初めてのホタルイカ(*´∀`)♪
Although not produced in Toyama Prefecture, it is still very delicious.

◎蒸し鮑・・・肝臓のソースで味わう蒸し鮮魚(*´Д｀*)
The scallops are soft and delicious, but the sauce made from their liver is simply outstanding(*≧∀≦*)
Since there was leftover sauce, I got a little bit of squid along with it, and I mixed the sauce into it. (*´∀`)♪

○ホタテのおさしみ・・・ホタテの貝柱の上にイクラとランプフィッシュキャビア(*´∀`)♪
Although there was soy sauce on the dishes, ikura and lampfish caviar also have a salty taste, so perhaps soy sauce isn't necessary.
I wanted to enjoy the sweetness of the abalone even more.

○スズキの酒蒸し・・・身が柔らかく、胡麻ダレで味付けされたスズキ。
It's a pleasure to have warm dishes before the main course.

◎ 握り・・・小肌、アオリイカ、とり貝、車海老、ホタテの軍艦、太刀魚、金目鯛、本鮪、いくら、穴子、鰻。
Huh? There's only 11 kanz in it. (*≧艸≦)
All of them were delicious, but especially the small shrimps, carapace lobsters, grilled swordfish, golden salmon, and black cod were simply outstanding(*´Д｀*)

◎手巻き・・・鮪とカンパチがたっぷりの手巻き寿司(*≧∀≦*)
I remember those delicious Hozon-mochi rolls from the Ghost Festival (*´ω｀*)

◎生サバ（280円）……サバが好きな人にとっては、生サバを食べずには帰れないので追加(*≧艸≦)
The amount of sauce added was quite to one's liking, making the saba extremely delicious.

◎ぶり（250円）・・・ぶりが好きな私にとって、ぶりを食べずには帰れないので追加(*≧艸≦)
The knife was neatly placed inside, and the taste was so delicious that it felt like melting in the mouth (*´Д｀*)

During the maintenance period, Mr. Kinokizou only offered takeout services. Now, he has resumed indoor operations. This is my visit for the first time in about three months.
We arrived at the restaurant at 19:30.
The restaurant is located within a 5-second walk from the north entrance of Sannojo Station.
The restaurant has only a counter with about 10 seats. On this day, I was guided directly in front of the food display case in the middle(*´∀`)♪

I heard that there was a new semi-yon in the karbdochi drink this time, and I was really looking forward to it(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
I tasted that wine for the first time, and tried it alongside the sashimi. It didn’t feel awkward at all; actually, it was delicious (*≧∀≦*)
After that, I went to the sake that I had been interested in.
Today was a pity that there was no salmon available, but we were able to enjoy the "mirlita," the part of the shellfish's base called that. We also got plenty of delicious seafood (*´∀`)*♪

It seems that in recent times, reservations are often filled up until around 20:30. Therefore, it is essential to make reservations in advance.
Thank you for your hospitality.

◎お刺身セット（1,380円）・・・この日は桜ブリ、金目鯛、そして少し昆布と一緒に調理したスズキの3種類です。
You can set your favorite drink for this item.
The wine is not included in the package, but upon checking the receipt later, it seems that they included it as part of the set.(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
All the sashimi has been well drained of excess moisture, with the flavors concentrated within—it's truly delicious!
The chef’s meticulous work can be appreciated.
Especially the Suzuki and Sakura breams were delicious (*´ω｀*)

◎チョイ飲みセット（1,380円）・・・おまかせ握り5貫と好きなドリンクのセットです。
On this day, the sushi was prepared using five different types of seafood: kombu-fried suzuki, Hokkaido-grown scallop stems, yari ikka, Saitama Prefecture-grown jack mackerel, and premium salmon.
Suzuki’s sushi is delicious even when eaten raw!
Also, the shrimp and the whole salmon were delicious too (*´ω｀*)

◎みる貝（250円？）・・・みる貝はサイズが大きいため、殻の部分、貝柱、水管などの部分から選ぶことができます。
聴かせてもらったところによると、この料理は牡蠣のような食感だそうです。牡蠣が好きな私ですが、アレルギーがあるため食べることができません。でも、是非とも試してみたいと思い、譲っていただきました(*´ω｀*)
Oh! Indeed, it has a very light aroma and a seafood-like flavor (*≧∀≦*).

◎甘鯛（250円？）・・・真鯛とは違った味わい。鱗焼きしか食べたことがなかったので、これは新鮮だった(*≧∀≦*)

A delicate texture and a slightly stronger salt content make the alcohol more appealing (*≧艸≦).

◎White Wine (980 yen)・・・From a winery in New Hampshire, Curve Duchi’s Semi-Yon.
Fresh and refreshing, with a beautiful sour taste that feels pleasant(*´ω｀*)
Even when paired with seafood, there is no sense of discomfort. It is not as sweet as Japanese sake, so it can be consumed easily.

◎笑四季酒造 竹島事変（580円）……これは国際問題に発展しそうな銘柄ですが、杜氏さんの名前が「竹島さん」ということでした(*≧艸≦)
A unique alcoholic drink made using Oshiro Ibanabaya yeast. A sweet and floral-style alcoholic beverage.

◎大信州酒造 大信州（680円）・・・辛口のお酒です。食中酒にぴったりかもしれません。

Today is a day that has little to do with me, but it's Hinamari Festival.
Since it's a chance, I really want to try sushi, right? (*´∀`)♪
When I look at Instagram, I see some people posting delicious dishes like this.(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
Moreover, there's barely anything left?!
Quickly, by phone!! Thus, we managed to get a perfect last portion (*≧∀≦*)
I was also interested in the homemade egg rolls, so I made a reservation for them. This one was also the last one left.
That's good〜(*´Д｀*)

When I went to the restaurant at the scheduled time for making a reservation, I found them in the process of preparing the food. I was able to receive the freshly made dishes right away (*´∀`)♪
I brought it home and immediately received it.


◎雛ちらし（880円・税込み）・・・ロシアの影響でサーモンが手に入らなかったそうです。
This meal includes various ingredients such as pickled lotus root in vinegar, soy sauce rolled into noodles, grilled sea scallops, clams, shrimp, edamame, and ikura.
Especially delicious was the bonito (*≧∀≦*).
And the shari is also delicious (*´∀`)♪
As an appetizer, it's also top-notch!

◎自家製の卵を使った太巻き（480円・税込み）……非常に細いしばしばしの形で、丸々一本が巻かれている太巻きです。
Other than the daし-maki, there are also dried bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms.
It’s extremely simple, yet it’s also extremely delicious. (*´Д｀*)
Recently, these thick egg rolls sandwiches have become very popular. But isn’t it also a good idea to eat them as part of a snack instead of just as a meal?


Even for takeout, a reasonable price and delicious food remain the same.
But I really want to eat the alcohol and sushi that the chef has chosen quickly...

Thank you for your hospitality.

この日は上新庄へ。
I’ve been longing for this kind of hand-held service for a long time, but during the maintenance period, we are not allowing customers to dine inside the restaurant (；∀；).
Instead, we can order the changing menu items by sushi box. So I made a reservation over the phone and went to buy it(*´∀`)♪
We arrived at the restaurant at 5:30 PM.
Master, it’s good to see you still looking well, no changes at all. (*´∀`)♪
I received the folded food, took it home, and immediately enjoyed it with the sake from my home.


◎折詰め（1,200円・税込み）・・・毎日変わるメニューを10品で1,200円(*≧∀≦*)
Today’s special feature is a mature-aged beef tenderloin (*´∀`)♪
Even just a big TRO is delicious, but after aging, its flavor becomes more complex and it becomes even more delicious (*´Д｀*)
Additionally, there are grilled clams, sea urchins, salmon, bonito fish, whitefish of cod, shrimp, hairtail, salmon, and tuna.
All of them are delicious〜(*´Д｀*)


When I eat at this restaurant, the food is usually seasoned with salt and soy sauce. So, I just eat it without thinking too much about the seasoning. But when it comes to bento boxes, soy sauce is included in a separate package. In that case, it’s difficult to eat the food without any specific preparation.
Nevertheless, at this price, the quality of this experience is simply outstanding (*≧∀≦*)
Even after paying the train fare, I still want to go back and buy more (*≧艸≦)
But in reality, enjoying freshly caught seafood served over the counter is the best way to experience it (；∀；)
I look forward to the day when I can enjoy it at the counter again!

Thank you for your hospitality.

この日は上新庄へ。
Since my impression during the previous visit was very good, I decided to make another reservation(*≧∀≦*)
Arrived at the restaurant at 7 PM.
The restaurant is located within a 10-second walk from the north entrance of Sakura Express Shinchōzō Station.
The restaurant is completely full, except for our reserved seats! The interior has only a counter area available.
It's good that I made a reservation~ε-(´∀｀; )

That day, there were various parts of naruto and yabukuro salmon available, so I was really excited about which order to choose from.(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡
There were also various types of sake available, so I ordered the ones that caught my interest in order. (*´∀`)♪
The next day, I was planning to go back to my parents' house for about 2 hours. So, I also ordered salmon sushi for my parents to take home. (*´∀`)♪
This restaurant was also well received at my family’s place (*´ω｀*)

I really want to disturb you again.
Thank you for your hospitality.

Today, we head to Newchō.
I was intrigued by the sashimi sushi I saw on Instagram, so I quickly made a reservation and visited the next day (*≧艸≦).
We arrived at the restaurant at 18:30.
The restaurant is located within 10 seconds of the north entrance of Sakura Express Shinchōzō Station.
Many people fail to notice because the restaurant is located too close to each other.
Exit the ticket gate, proceed towards the left (where there is a convenience store), and when you reach the end of the store, turn to the right to find the entrance.
If you walk for 10 seconds and still can't find the restaurant, it's very likely that you've just passed by it.
The interior of the restaurant has only a counter with about eight seats. It is run by two men.
At the middle of the counter, there are a set of ingredients for making food. Just looking at them makes one's expectations grow (*´∀`)♪

Let's start with the side dishes.
The side dishes range from 380 yen to 880 yen – quite affordable! (*´∀`)♪
Drinks are also very affordable, with a highball costing only 380 yen. That's really great! (*≧∀≦*)
The restaurant also offers a variety of sake. Next to the sake cases, there are also ready-to-use shochu warming devices.
The sashimi is displayed on a wall, but the price is not indicated.
However, the most expensive item served that day was probably bonito. The price was 250 yen, which is quite reasonable. So please rest assured.

The owner is gentle and has a soft manner of speech (*´ω｀*).
Just like in a store in Kita-Shinchi, when you return from the restroom, they will provide you with fresh air fresheners.
At first, only us were in the restaurant, but in no time, it became fully booked.
It seems that many people come here alone.

These dishes are all of very high quality and delicious (*≧∀≦*).
Whatever you eat here, there's no failure.
Personally, the impression of the ingredients is too strong, to the point where I can't even taste the sauce properly (*≧艸≦).
At this price, to get such a great dish, it's simply amazing (*≧∀≦*)
I was interested in the salmon sushi, so I brought it as a souvenir (*´∀`)♪
Shoushozawa was surprisingly close, and here you can enjoy delicious dishes easily. So I’ll definitely come back again (*´ω｀*)

Thank you for the hospitality.
