I visited this Michelin Two-Star sushi omakase with high expectations, having experienced various sushi omakases in Tokyo and Osaka. Because of that, I was able to compare all aspects of the restaurant from the quality of the food to the atmosphere, the friendliness of the chef and staff, and so on. Unfortunately, the experience left me feeling quite disappointed and dissatisfied.
The main issue was the lack of clear communication about the number of sushi pieces being served. Not only that, but the sushi menu was changed without asking for the customerâs preference. It wasnât just a simple menu change; one piece of sushi was removed and replaced with a dessert, an ice cream. This is a fundamental part of the experience, and when I asked about the change, the response was, "Weâre confident youâll be full, so we changed the menu." This reasoning didnât make sense to me at all.
In my previous experiences in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, every restaurant offered 12 to 15 pieces of sushi in a standard evening omakase. However, at Sushi Himeshara, only 7 pieces of sushi and one side dish were served. When I asked about the menu and what to expect, a staff member translated and asked the chef, but the chef refused to give any explanation. This lack of transparency was another point of frustration.
At other omakase restaurants, each piece of sushi was carefully explained before being served, but here, there was no such explanation at all. It really made me question whether this restaurant truly deserved its Michelin Two Stars.
Throughout the meal, I couldnât shake the feeling that I was being treated differently because I didnât speak Japanese. Iâve traveled to Japan more than 20 times and even lived there for two months, but this was the first time I felt disappointed by the experience. Honestly, I found the experience less satisfying than a Â¥2,000 curry rice bowl. It seems like thereâs a need for better customer service for foreign visitors and more accurate information about the food...
   Read moreDinner at Himeshara. ð± . We made this reservation through a third party company and an email with strict rules followed. This combined with Arika Tanaka being a two Michelin starred chef and my pigeon level speaking of Japanese made me quite nervous and I had the impression it would be a very quiet stern type of affair - I couldn't be more wrong. . Tanaka was so accommodating, despite not speaking much English himself he taught us the different fish names in Japanese and managed to get a voice translator for his staff to use to explain how to eat everything. My partner made a comment at one point that he liked the chopstick holders and at the end of the meal he gave us two to take home(!)He then jumped out from behind the counter and took a photo with us. What a guy. âºïž . Himeshara specialises in edo style sushi and I have never tasted anything like it. It was a great combination of fresh and cured fish and some unusual options in there too (Milt, anyone?) He served up so many different variations on Uni and I dont think i have ever been so full. A meal that will stay with us for a long time, I'll definitely be back next time we are in...
