Nishiazabu Sushi Ichi — Restaurant in Tokyo

I had my first Japanese omakase experience, and it was truly mind-blowing! From the moment I entered the restaurant, I was captivated. The chefs were both intensely focused and incredibly friendly. One chef, originally from Taiwan, spoke Chinese with us and provided detailed explanations of each dish and the fish used in every piece of sushi.
