匠 進吾 Takumi Shingo — Restaurant in Tokyo

An amazing experience start to finish. Had reservations on a weekday night for 9pm and every seat was full with locals. Definitely need to make reservations in advance here. Chef Shingo and his chefs english skills are serviceable, which is just a bonus, we all should learn Japanese really!

Normally high-end sushi places would give you stories of how they carefully chose a fish or why this cooking style (kind of chef's philosophy) or fish related history or something. And I would expect that type of entertainment if I am paying 40,000+ yen. At the end I didn't feel welcomed and not feeling great. There are dozens of sushi restaurants that make you feel great and pleased and less...
