Sushi Nishichi — Restaurant in Tokyo

The whole experience is a first-class, magnificent journey across the different flavors and textures of the Edomae style sushi. What the sushi master Nao Inagaki brings on the table is an exquisite matching of tastes and techniques that takes you through a continuous, well balanced and thoroughly designed flow consisting of a couple of dozens of small bites.

The omakase was okay for the price. I’ve definitely have had better in Tokyo for less money. The service was also mediocre. The person who’s not the chef that helps you is nowhere to be seen except for when they bring out dishes from the back. I was also shocked to discovery that any drinks you order must be paid with cash as they do not take credit card onsite even though when you reserve a table you have to prepay with your credit card.
