Mmmm...the old champion!
Kumonotori used to be the king of butcher shops a long time ago.
I'm revisiting the restaurant myself, but this is the first time I've posted about it since there was no food log or I didn't do it before.
Kunimoto back then was... Oh, that Kunimoto! That Kunimoto! It was like "Oh, that Kunimoto!
Nowadays, you can usually get in without a reservation, not because it's bad or anything, but because there are so many restaurants imitating Kunimoto.
It is because the number of yakiniku restaurants has been increasing.
Now there are yakiniku restaurants that are particular about the way they cut the meat and where it comes from, and serving it in rare parts is now a standard practice.
Of course, that's only for high-end restaurants, but Kunimoto is a high-end restaurant in terms of cosmetics, so I get the impression that it's tough if you don't move up another level
The course price is 13,200 yen. The price is modest for a Japanese restaurant of this type, and the cost performance is good.
However, the owner and chef is practically a one-man operation, so he is always busy preparing dishes, etc., and you need to be precise about when to order drinks. It is a pity that the restaurant lacks the real pleasure of watching the chef's skills at the counter kappo. I have no complaints about the taste of the food, and I think the prices are reasonable, but if you ask me if I would want to go back again and again, I would say that it is a bit delicate.
I have been asked by several sushi restaurant owners, "Have you been to Tomisho?" so I finally decided to pay a visit. Today's menu was as follows, but it offers sushi-like nibbles and solidly sized, tasty nigiri. The rice was pleasantly vinegary through the nose, and I would say the hardness was standard. The sea bream was shockingly delicious, with a very strong umami flavor, which explains why it was brought to the lineup in the latter half of the meal. The tuna is also very tasty and makes you want to try the nigiri again. The additional dishes of chutoro pickles, shime saba (mackerel), and dried gourd rolls are also delicious and cannot be missed, but the entire meal is quite large, and you will be satisfied and full. (Tsumami + 15 nigiri + 2 additional nigiri and 1 thin roll)

I had had Uwajima tai-meshi for lunch several times in the past, and it was so delicious that I wanted to come again at night, but the timing was not quite right.
The Uwajima tai-meshi and all the a la carte dishes were delicious. The dishes were carefully prepared and seasoned with just the right amount of salt, and everything was ideal. The bonito tataki was as expected from Shikoku! There was no fishy smell at all, and it melted on my tongue.
The sake, the fresh lemon sour, was refreshing and aromatic, perhaps because it was made with domestically grown lemons, and had no sweetness at all, making it a perfect match for the delicate Japanese cuisine.
The service by the proprietress (?) and the chef is also very attentive. The service by the proprietress (?) and the chef was attentive, friendly, and comfortable. We were seated near the entrance, so they brought us a kneeling mat, and even though we had not been waiting long, they offered us homemade cheese.
We were really very satisfied and would definitely visit again.
