福松 三鷹店

Older ladies in kimonos, no English menus (if we had sat at the sushi bar obviously that would have been less of an issue), comfortable western furniture in well-lit large room, and keep your shoes on. Our kimono lady had little English, and though she did her best to help my friend who is a vegetar...ian, little could be done - this is a sushi restaurant after all. Apart from the usual lack of spoken English or menus, this restaurant is less intimidating for gaijin visitors here on business. It looks like a restaurant for one thing, not something you could confuse from the outside with a suspect DVD shop or a girly/massage bar on the 3rd floor, as you might in other parts of Tokyo. Clientele was older, professional, not your busy office worker out on a drunk. The sushi was OK if not exceptional, seemed fresh, the servings neither generous nor stingy, although in the sushi special set one or two crackly bubbly things - not sure what - were very interesting, a rung or four above your sushi-train chain offering. A reasonably nice meal, in a relaxed atmosphere where you don't feel like you are rushed or competing with anyone for Japanese food and restaurant street smarts or trendiness.
