Sushi Ishiguro — Restaurant in Nagoya

I visited on 25th October for dinner. I would highly recommend this place. Ishiguro -san is like a sushi commando. He has a military bearing and is very serious about sushi. And rightly so- some of the sushi and appetisers that he served were simply sublime. Creamy fatty oysters that tasted like briny fois gras. A brilliant katsuo caused me to view bonito in a new light. But the rice was a bit too al dente for me and slightly interfered with the enjoyment of the fish and seafood.

For 220 singapore dollars per pax, we had the following, which I thought was value for money: Conch Hokkaido oyster Grilled bonito Maitake chawamunshi with japanese yam Grilled hotate Kurakke  edame Kuromutsu( bluefish) with bottarga Sea bream sushi Amai ebi with prawn head miso butter Kohada ( gizzard shad) Big ebi Aomori Otoro Ankimo sushi Nodoguro ( blackthroat  sea perch) with rice Mackerel with kombu Japanese amberjack ( buri) Cod roe sushi Miso soup Conger eel...

Great experience here last night. We were able to book on an English website (tablecheck) and pay deposit to secure the reservation. Location is on a side street and need to find with my phone's map. Small restaurant 9 seats at the counter and chef appears to have only 2 assistants/waitstaff. There's only one dinner seating at 6:30. So many different little appetizer plates before the nigiri sushi. Overall ingredients were excellent and high quality (not cheap fish), using various cooking methods. I took until 9 to finish the meal. Reasonable price considering what they served. Nodoguro rice and binchotan seared negitoro rolls...

My mom, aunt, and I made reservations based on a recommendation from a previous tour guide and had an amazing time. We were a little nervous as it was our first higher end Omakase but the atmosphere at the restaurant was so welcoming and fun. The staff and chef were so friendly and the food was AMAZING. It was definitely a highlight of the trip...
