Kuroshio — Restaurant in Imabari

The set menu is a lot of food and very filling. Found the sashimi platter a little underwhelming... The staff wouldn't even explain which was what... Had better sashimi in Onomichi the day before for sure.

The staff is very very meticulous about social distance and measures taken. So much so that we ran into our friends by chance at the restaurant and wasn't even allowed to chat with them casually since no talking except within families and even that limited to small voices. Can take it as a good or bad thing.

The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff were kind and welcoming. The food was good, but not quite great—some dishes had nice flavor, while most were on the bland side. Portions were quite small, and the overall price was very high for what was offered. That might just be my perspective as an American dining in Japan, but it felt a bit out of balance. Also worth noting: they do not accept credit cards and mention they do not give change, so be sure to come prepared. Overall, it was an okay experience, but probably not one...
