Tokyo Food Exploration | Sushi Zai 🍣✨

Tabelog 3.96, a Hundred - Name Store; I booked three weeks in advance due to the summer break. 🌿🌟 It's said to be easier to get a reservation on weekdays, without having to rush to secure a slot. With high scores and easy booking, it's perfect for couples. On the night, there were four tables of customers, and aside from us, everyone else was Japanese. The head chef might have been a bit nervous around foreigners but still tried his best to introduce the dishes in English, occasionally throwing in some Cantonese or Mandarin with humor. 🌿🌟 The female apprentice was both elegant and enthusiastic. She searched for pictures and introductions of the ingredients to show us and even chatted with us in English. Very foreigner - friendly. 🌟 Evening Set Price: 29,700 yen 🌿🌟 🥢 Appetizers: A soup with eel and eggplant - The chef simply introduced it as "unagi." 🌿🌟 Sea urchin and hairy crab - Freshness on top of freshness. Swordfish. Smoked bonito - Perfectly paired with tender green onions and shiso flowers. 🌿🌟 Monkfish liver - The idea of spreading the liver paste on nori was creative, though I still prefer it in a whole piece. Abalone - The liver paste mixed with shari (vinegared rice) was so good I could have another bowl. 🌿🌟Gizzard. Finally, after finishing the brown sugar baked tea tamagoyaki and miso soup, I left the place feeling very full. #omakase #TokyoFood #JapaneseCuisine 🌇✨
