I came to this little nook under the recommendation of my host at the Igusa guesthouse and oh my what a treat it was! The store is run by the sushi chef and his wife, they do not speak a word of English, but that's not a problem with Google translate.
I got a nigiri set followed by an otoro set, I also had two bottles of sake along with the meal.
I came to learn that the chef is 79 years old and that he's been a chef for 55 years. The shop has been opened since 1965!
I had a great meal and a fun conversation with the kind man. The fish was fresh and the sushi was delicious. My meal also came to only 3200 yen, so it was quite affordable.
I'm glad I was able to visit this little gem! I highly recommend it for future visitors of the Igusa guesthouse as it was only about 5 minutes away...
