すし庵 — Restaurant in Hiroshima

Certainly one of the most memorable sushi experience my wife and I have had, over our 3 trips to Japan over the last 10 years. For some reason, the opening hours in Google are wrong, which made us arrive before time and wait for a while before the owner could attend and serve us. As he felt bad for us, he ended up letting us in early so we had the restaurant for ourselves during our whole meal. Though he barely spoke English and we didn't speak a word of Japanese, we managed to communicate using Google translate. As said in some other comments, it's basically one set meal of nigiris, sashimis or both. We took nigiris and really found them super fresh and delicious. The gambas were still moving when he prepared them!! The owner really treated us super well. We took some cool photos together and had a truly lovely evening that we will fondly remember for a long time. Thank you for this delicious and wonderful...

It is easy to pass by this great opportunity in a side street. Sushi were excellent. The chef and his assistant are incredibly friendly and communicative, we felt like we had visited our japanese grandfather :). Do not be afraid if you do not speak Japanese, there is a little English menu and you will get help if you have questions. Anyway what ever you get is great! This was also the first time that someone explained to us how to eat sushi in the correct way. Thank you a lot for this great experience!...

Stumbled in here at 11pm for a late dinner and were fortunate to discover this gem here. Sushi chef An was very welcoming and jovial, and treated us extremely well. The other patrons were locals and sang praises about this sushiya. The sushi was great (see pictures) and the quality of the fish exceeds other sushiyas of the same price point (3000 yen for sushi, 2000 yen for sashimi). One interesting item was the fried/grilled prawn head.

Chef An is 77 this year, and has been a sushi chef for 60 of...
