The restaurant "Kagurazaka Sushi Kimoto" with its branch in Kagurazaka.
As a high-end sushi restaurant, it's rare to see one that is open on Sundays. Therefore, for us couples who have Sunday as our common holiday, this is a very useful place.
Sunday at 5 PM booking for the visit
Due to the pedestrian zone, it was not possible to park a taxi in front of the store. So, I walked a little along a backstreet.
There are also fully private rooms available, but of course, we chose to use the counter.
Personally, I believe that the charm of a high-end sushi restaurant lies in witnessing the magnificent scene where first-class chefs wrap the sushi in rice and then cut it with a knife.
This time, I was happy to have a special seat in front of the cutting board.
The one I wore this time is
●萩雲青 16000円
■ 다양한 술과 음식
・未揚げのカジキマグロを焼いて南蛮漬にしたもの、蕪、肉味噌
・Fresh seaweed, wakame
・鸭肉炖煮
・クエ：香味野菜と抹茶ポン酢を添えて
・カメノテ
Kamenote is a type of crustacean, and it was named after its appearance, which resembles the hand of a turtle.
I ordered it for the first time, and it had a taste like crab and a texture like shellfish.
Although it has a distinctive appearance, I think it is a taste that is easy for Japanese people to connect with.
■Warm Foods
Steak, tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and snowflake vegetables in spicy gravy
■ 4貫の握り
・カンパチ 柚子胡椒
・まぐろ 辛子
・シロイカ 酢味噌
・アジ：ネギと生姜を刻んで混ぜ合わせたもの
The spice added to the bonito was a surprise.
A sweet sauce can actually be quite compatible with this dish.
■焼物
Menuke no Nishikyō-yaki
Young Corn
Young corn is also delicious, so let's enjoy it without leaving any leftovers.
■茶碗蒸し
Hamon, plum, scallion steamed in a bowl
Hamon is well-known for its image in Kansai, but this one is said to be from Chiba Prefecture.
■ 4貫の握り
・イサキ
・大トロ
・オブラックス
・車エビ
■ Egg
■アナゴ握り
■ Large crab and abalone, hand-crafted
All the dishes were delicious. Among this meal, the one that truly touched my heart was this one.
Until now, I thought seaweed was just a secondary ingredient. But it turns out that high-quality seaweed can complement and enhance the flavor of other ingredients equally well.
■お椀
Akageppu
■Sweetness
Purple Yam Yogurt Confection
Apricot Honey Stew
Both dishes have a moderate sweetness, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to be fully appreciated.
I ordered sake as my drink.
There is a menu on the table, but there are also many items that are not listed in the menu.
I informed the staff at the restaurant that I prefer spicy flavors, and they prepared dishes that matched my preference as the meal progressed.
I was able to learn about the stories associated with each of the wines, which made the experience very enjoyable.
All of them are delicious, and they complement each other perfectly with sushi. As a result, I end up drinking too much.
Before I realized it, I was eating 5 bowls of rice with that couple.
This is a highly recommended restaurant for those who enjoy sushi or sake.
Thank you for reading until the end.
