A visit to "Juubei Sushi", a sushi restaurant reputed to be the No. 1 sushi restaurant not only in Sasebo but also in Nagasaki Prefecture.
The fish is not purchased at the market, but from fishermen who are acquainted with the restaurant.
He says that he does not buy fish at the market but from several stores where he knows fishermen who wholesale fish every day.
The sushi is beautiful and reminiscent of kaiseki cuisine, which he says he trained in Kansai, not Edo-mae.
He also prepared many dishes that go well with sake.
I was surprised at the sticky, rich sweetness and deliciousness of the sea urchin.
It was one of the three best tastes of unotan I have ever had.
The bill was 17,000 yen after eating and drinking as much as we wanted.
This is double the price for this class of food in Tokyo.
I enjoyed the wonderful sushi.
