A miracle of one dish following another. A sushi and seasonal delicacy festival encountered at Amamoto ♡ The mozuku from Noto is refreshing and particularly sticky! The next sardine is soaked in plenty of olive oil. It's my first time having olive oil marinated at a sushi restaurant. And it's incredibly delicious! The sardine meat is large and the olive oil is refreshing. The occasional saltiness makes the sake go down smoothly... The third plate of junsai is visually beautiful. The texture of the whelk is also good ◡̈ I rarely get to eat such chunky whelk, so I'm happy. It seems to be the last junsai of the season, so I was lucky ◡̈ The fourth plate is sashimi of Edo-style makogarei. I have quite a few likes and dislikes when it comes to sashimi, but I can't resist eating this makogarei with salt and wasabi. I would want to have seconds if I could! This salt is also mild and delicious ◡̈ The Shaoxing wine marinated shrimp is actually 40 years old! How luxurious... haha Apparently, the usual Shaoxing wine they use was out of stock, so they had to use this one on short notice. I really got lucky with this seat haha I mixed the remaining sauce with the rice and gobbled it up. Next is the bonito from Sanriku. The aroma of the straw burning is incredibly appetizing. This might be the most delicious I've ever had ( ; ; ) The liver sauce of the abalone is said to be "the highest rank in the nationwide liver sauce ranking" haha The chef is funny haha And it's true, the unique flavor of the liver is properly preserved while the aroma spreads gently. I also enjoyed it with the rice... so delicious. Since they didn't add any strange butter or oil, the deliciousness of the liver comes through directly. Fried bonito. It was so delicious... cooking the bonito really makes it taste better! ☑︎ Sado arakawa It's aged, so it's elegant ◡̈ ☑︎ Striped jack Natural striped jack from Kyushu. I'm not good with striped jack, but my perception has been overturned. It's super delicious! ☑︎ Whale I had sushi with whale for the first time! It's, it's delicious... ☑︎ Small skin from Saga It's particularly rare at this time of year, so I'm happy to have eaten it ◡̈ Aged for two days. ☑︎ Sweetfish ☑︎ Salt-baked toro ☑︎ O-toro The most delicious I've ever had! ☑︎ Tsushima horse mackerel ☑︎ Oita red sea urchin ☑︎ Kuruma shrimp Thank you for the meal ♡

After all, Amamoto's sushi was amazing in winter. The ankimo (liver) was superb, and the nodoguro (bluefin tuna) was a memorable gem with its exquisite charcoal fire. The tuna was wonderful, and the albacore between the nigiri was delicious.

The first time I visited the restaurant was three years ago. I was told, "This is the sushi restaurant I'm the sushi restaurant that you can't get a reservation for. I was told that it was the Is it safe for me to go to a place like that? I thought to myself, "Is it safe? I thought, "But that was a long time ago. This is also located in Gaienmae I have been the apprentice of "Umami" for 9 years. I have been his apprentice for 9 years. Shiga to "Shinohara" in Ginza, Gion Sakaki in Kyoto. He is a genuine Japanese chef, isn't he? He is a Japanese chef, isn't he? 👏 Mr. Amamoto, who has a slightly rugged Mr. Amamoto is a little bit scary looking, Whenever I see him in front of me, I I get nervous. The taste of the sushi is outstanding. I've heard many stories about it, I think it tastes good anyway. I would like to know where it comes from, what it tastes like, and and comments on the cooking to the customers at the counter while and the cooking process. bite by bite. As if a wave As if a wave had just occurred. "Mmm-hmm." "Mmmm!" and a delicious grunt. Originally, Mr. Amamoto's father originally ran a yatai (food stall) in Nakasu in Nakasu, Fukuoka, I thought to myself, "I want to be a chef too. "I want to be a chef. I wanted to be a chef," he says. That's how it turned out to be a sushi restaurant I can't believe that this is now a sushi restaurant, I really have a dream about the food and beverage industry today. dream. I remember when I was in training at Umimi, "This is what it means to work without sleep. during his training at Umimi. I heard that he thought that This is a popular sushi restaurant where you can experience the real thing You can experience the real thing at this popular sushi restaurant. You can't get a seat You can't get a seat.... Oh, I want to eat sushi.

The General's Smile, the General's Personality, and the Sushi These days, many sushi restaurants have a six-month wait as soon as they become popular. This one is one of them. My friend invited me to visit (lucky W). I knew in advance that it was a very popular restaurant, so I went there with my hurdle raised. I was not as high as I thought I was going to be. I have been to many sushi restaurants, but this one is not my favorite. I've been to a relatively large number of sushi restaurants, so there are a lot of restaurants to compare... For me, the owner's conversation is quite important in sushi, and you need to have a good sense of atmosphere. That may have been one of the bottlenecks. I'm not really impressed by sushi anymore, but I also feel like there are fewer emotional points. The ingredients are already in the lineup of what you would expect in a high-end restaurant, so the point is something else. Personally... It's delicious, I'm lucky if I visit once a year, and the portions are large. However, there is something about it that personally bugs me. Maybe I'm just an innocent...

New Edomae Sushi Miraculously, I was able to get a reservation and went to Higashi-Azabu in a hurry! That's Amamoto! A modern-day sanctuary of Edomae Sushi! I had heard rumors about it, but it was just amazing! First of all, I was amazed at how beautiful it looked. After being amazed by the beautiful appearance of the food, the dishes came out one after another. I was just so impressed with the restaurant.

The portions were large, and although I was getting tired along the way, they were all delicious. Price includes one souvenir flier. Two Michelin continues this year. I asked if I could recognize the Michelin person when he arrived, and he said he could tell because it is always the same person. He said he doesn't know at the time of booking, but it doesn't make sense for him to be undercover. I was surprised to find that there seemed to be a heater under the table and it was warm to the touch.

This is the kind of restaurant that seemed even more awesome than the rumors @ Higashi-Azabu. Tenmoto. If you like gourmet food, you must visit this restaurant at least once. The owner runs the restaurant almost entirely by himself, from the preparation of the food. His attitude is humble and friendly without being conceited. He does not rely on the quality of the ingredients, but rather on the craftsmanship of his chefs ✨He is a one-man operation with 8 seats at the counter, but he really looks out for his customers. The taste is great, but the attention and hospitality is wonderful. I guess this is what I mean by impeccable. ☺️ I would do my best to book this restaurant again ✨✨✨.
