Love the foods and the owner was great

Non-alcoholic for Saturday lunch. I entered without waiting. 5 pieces of sushi for the Shofuku course. The whale nanban, freshly cut the day before, is delicious. There are actually six omakase three-piece platters, and each one is a masterpiece that makes you wish you had beer. The sushi is also made from local ingredients, except for the tuna. For the grilled fish, my companion and I each had one sea bream and one large horse mackerel. It's also nice that they serve cold tea in mug-sized mugs. It was a fulfilling lunch. It's on a back street so there seem to be a lot of locals.

I went with the dinner service provided by the hotel I was staying at. It was a bit of a walk from the hotel, but it was worth the walk. So yummy. My wife was pregnant and couldn't eat raw fish, but they were able to accommodate us flexibly even though we had to make a last-minute change. The food was very delicious, and the presentation was so beautiful that it was a feast for the eyes as well as the tongue. There are many sake menus, and you can choose from a variety of things, so I think people who like sake will also enjoy it. The general had a nice smile and was friendly and I had a good impression of him. I was seated a little far from the counter, so it was difficult to hear people ordering, but the customer at the counter called out to the staff. It felt good to be loved by local customers. Apparently they also have a New Year's menu, and since I've already ordered next year's from another place, I thought I'd order the next one.
