新宿 鮨 青海

10月に2人目を出産予定の妻のリクエストで、雲丹の食べ比べが名物の「鮨 青海」さんへ伺いました。予約したのは「特別雲丹食べ比べコース」。通常でも3種の雲丹食べ比べがありますが、今回は+6,000円で9種へアップグレード。北海道や東北、北方四島など各地のバフン・ムラサキ・塩水雲丹を、それぞれ手巻きで丁寧に提供いただき、どれも見た目・鮮度・旨味すべてが別格でした。 雲丹以外のお寿司も非常にレベルが高く、中トロや白イカ、車海老、大トロといった定番から、小鰭やズワイガニ、ノドグロ炙りが乗ったいくら＆キャビア小丼など、コース全体の構成と流れも秀逸です。 また、前菜や焼き物、茶碗蒸し、デザートのミルク...プリンに至るまで、一品一品に繊細な味付けと演出があり、大将やスタッフの気遣いも心地よく、家族で安心して楽しめました。 特に雲丹好きの方にはぜひ体験していただきたいお店。都内でこの品質・種類の雲丹を、この価格で楽しめるのは極めて稀です。記念日や特別な日に間違いなくおすすめしたい名店です。 Expecting our second child in October, my wife—who is a huge uni (sea urchin) lover—wanted to enjoy a truly special sushi experience before the big day. We chose Sushi Aomi, a renowned sushi restaurant in Shinjuku known for its uni tasting courses, and it far exceeded expectations. We booked the Special Uni Tasting Course, which includes a 3-variety uni tasting as part of the menu, but opted to upgrade to the 9-variety uni experience (+¥6,000). This add-on allowed us to savor uni from across Japan and beyond—Bafun uni from Notsuke, Habomai, and the Northern Territories; Murasaki uni from Iwate, Miyagi, and Hiyama; and shio-mizu (salt water) uni from Shiraoi, the Northern Territories, and Biei. Each was served as a hand roll with delicately seasoned rice and fragrant seaweed, letting us fully appreciate the contrast in flavor, richness, and texture between each type. Honestly, this kind of tasting is hard to find even in Hokkaido. The rest of the omakase was just as memorable. We began with perfectly balanced chutoro, and moved on to appetizers like sesame-marinated young tuna, grilled sweet corn, and abalone simmered in a rich broth. Each item felt seasonally inspired and precisely prepared. Sushi highlights included silky white squid, sweet tiger prawn, and delicate kohada (gizzard shad), plus a standout small rice bowl topped with grilled nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch), ikura (salmon roe), and caviar. The luxurious pairing of textures and umami left a lasting impression. The course concluded with tamago (Japanese omelet), red miso soup, and a light milk pudding that balanced the meal beautifully. The service was impeccable, and the chef’s attention to detail—from rice temperature to serving pace—added a layer of hospitality that made the evening even more enjoyable. My wife was given extra comfort due to her pregnancy, and I appreciated the thoughtful pacing of the courses. If you’re a uni lover or looking for a special experience in Tokyo, Sushi Aomi is a rare gem. Their 9-variety uni tasting is both a culinary and educational experience, offered at a value nearly impossible to replicate elsewhere in Japan. I highly recommend this restaurant for anniversaries, special occasions, or simply as a treat for your tastebuds.

Terrific meal at Oumi in Shinjuku. Great value for the food and the sake recommendations/pairing was spot on. Definitely worth the visit!
