春秋 渋谷文化村通

I was walking around very hungry in Shibuya and for some reason ended up in this restaurant! Afterwards I regretted it because I was over 8000 yen poorer and frustrated because of the bad taste of the food I got. I had to force to eat! It was my first sashimi in Japan and I was like "Seriously? I th...ought all sashimi in Japan is good.." But no! It was frustrating. Then I got the fried chicken and even the look of it was unpalatable. They also charged 800 yen as a cover charge of the little appetizer that I couldn't eat because I don't eat red meat – well they brought cold potatoes instead. Luckily the wine was moderately good. It was around 6 o'clock when I got in the restaurant and the place was empty, except for two people. Should have known better! What bothered me as well was that there was a bit of weird atmosphere. The idle staff was just around and it felt like you were in the middle of everything and under everyone's eyes. Never again! Well lesson learned: I will certainly be more careful with my dinner choices despite the stomach rumbling!

Shunju NEVER disappoints me. Dassai sake is my preferred choice. Tonight we had a fish fois gras (ankimo) in ponzu sauce, a tendon with shrimp patty wrapped in nori and fried (great?), wonderful hot oyster cooked in yuzu, and more. Outstanding.

I usually start with a dry sake with assortment of chinmi or small delicacies, and go to the seasonal tofu. This time Shunju served a warm tofu with Sakura flower - beautiful. Definitely book a table before going. Located next to Bunkamura.

We ate at Shunju on our first night in Japan. The food and atmosphere was great. I made a reservation and we were able to sit at a great table in the corner in back. We were able to eat at our own pace and each dish was great.
