鮨 田可尾

I’d lunch at Sushi Tatsusho yesterday. The food was good and the price was more than reasonable. I’d high expectation about my dinner at Sushi Takao tonight since dinner in a sushi restaurant is usually better than lunch given that I can try more food. My friend and I chose the omakase menu (turne...d out to be 16,000 yen for each person when I paid). Except for the clams mixed with tofu, all 5 otsumami were pretty standard and none of them stood out. Then, we’re served 17 pieces of sushi but 3 of them used the same ingredients which had already been featured in otsumami (i.e. tai, maguro and kohada). Of the other 14 pieces, only uni, kumura ebi, akagai and anago were worth mentioning. The ingredients were certainly fresh but I couldn’t feel the personal touch of the chef. On the contrary, some pieces of sushi were served in an incoherent manner. It’s ironical that the most memorable thing about the meal was the tamago which was served in the end. The restaurant seated 8 customers tonight and a Japanese girl in a group of 4 spoke way too loudly. I don’t mean a sushi restaurant should be a temple but her noise kind of spoilt our meal. No photo was allowed in the restaurant. In any event, no photo would have been worth sharing. I don’t mind paying the price but I hate wasting my “dining quota” on an unmemorable meal after doing some extensive research. Not worth its 1 Michelin star.

This restaurant is small. Only 7 seats are available at the counter. The chef does not speak English. The waitress can speak some English. There is no menu. You sat down and you start with sashimi and sushis. There is no wine menu either. We wanted sake, and the only choice you have is warm or ...cold sake. The seafood were all very fresh. Towards the end, we could not eat anymore and signaled the chef to put an end to our meal. If you want to go, better have concierge call for you. (No photos are allowed inside the restaurant. )
