If you ever come visited Ko-Edo Kawagoe and feeling you are up for good sushi, this is the place for you. You’ll have to take one stop ride from Hon-Kawagoe-Eki station on Seibu-Shinjuku line to Minami-Otsuka Station. Just one stop ride and you won’t have to worry about the direction cuz Hon-Kawagoe-Eki is the end of the line. Once yo get off at Minami Otsuka Station, you might wanna ask for the side for taxi pick up, Taxi-Noriba. It will be like a 5min ride although you can easily walk but you kinda wanna make sure you’ll get to Kosaku no Mise Sushi. Since it will a short and easy ride, try to remember the route so you can walk back to Minami Otsuka station rather than asking for calling Taxi to get back to The station. Just watch out when you are crossing busy Route 16, make sure to cross appropriate crossing point. There might be a pedestrian bridge there but I can’t remember. If you aren’t sure what to order at Kosaku’s, just tell the lady(okami San) or Chef (Taisho) your budget, things you wanna avoid if any, and leave all to the chef. Trust me, they offer the best in the area and you’ll love it, and it will be a very...

Read moreゴルフが熱狂的に好きであろう、大将が腕を振るう寿司屋に西武線に乗って一駅移動。 南大塚駅から歩く事10分未満。 迷わず行けよ。迷いませんけど。
ガラガラ〜 カウンターは10席位?テーブル席、座敷も合わせるとざっと40人は収容できそうな感じ。 一通り品書きに目を通してみるが、寿司ツウではないので「大将オススメで刺身2人前」を注文。 ミル貝、ホッキ貝、大トロ、秋刀魚、イカ、穴子が順序良く出てきます。 穴子は今まで火を通したものしか口にした事が無かったが、刺身の穴子は全く癖もなく、甘みをまとった白身は実に美味かった。 秋刀魚の刺身=生姜醤油という固定概念があったが、こうさくさんでは、塩で〆た身に茗荷のスライスという未経験な食べ方で供されますが、これも実に良い塩梅に仕立ててあります。 ちょいと秋刀魚の表面を炙った感じでも食べてみたかったな〜。 カレイの唐揚げは骨までサックサク。 とまあ、ビールを呑みつつ、お茶割りをグビグビやりながら、最後に関東定番の干瓢巻きと梅胡瓜巻きで〆、この日の夕餉は幕を閉じました。 最後に甘海老のお頭とアラの入った味噌汁にデザート付きという粋な計らい。 これだけ食べて呑んで2人で15000円未満! 安くて旨くて、大将はじめスタッフさんの接客の心地...
