A sushi restaurant located in the middle of Kyoto's kitchen ``Nishiki Market'' will reopen on February 2023, 2 after a period of recharging during the coronavirus pandemic.The delicate and original nigiri course created by the head chef with a background in hotel and Japanese cuisine has become a hot topic.

The large ``Sushi'' noren curtain is a landmark.Inside the store, there is a counter made of a single piece of Japanese cypress.

Mr. Inoue, the owner.People like his refreshing smile and soft impression.

The fish is sourced mainly from the Sea of ​​Japan, such as Maizuru and Miyazu, and fresh fish caught that day is delivered the same day.

Be particular about using white shari for the sweetness of white meat and squid, and red shari for the rich flavor of tuna and red throat seaweed.The rice used is Hatsushimo from Gifu, which has a strong sweetness.Even sushi fans will groan when they see this.

Today's excerpt is from the evening nigiri course.

Instep squid. After inserting a knife about 150 times, it becomes sticky and soft.A rich, entwining sweetness spreads throughout your mouth.Charcoal salt is a good accent.

What is noteworthy is the attention to detail in the aging technique.Today's tuna is from Nagasaki Prefecture and is dry-aged to lock in plenty of flavor. The medium-fatty fatty tuna that has been aged for three days has just the right amount of acidity and goes perfectly with the attractive red sushi rice.Red vinegar sushi rice does not contain any sugar, but it has plenty of sweetness.

A style that is popular among regular customers is the quickly grilled dogfish from Shimane Prefecture, shiso leaves, and Narazuke wrapped in seaweed.The umami of the Nodoguro, the flavor of the shiso leaves, and the texture of the Narazuke are outstanding.

Add red sushi rice to the steamed abalone liver sauce to make it risotto-style.The sauce is made only with fresh cream and has a cheesy flavor with a sushi-like flavor.

Kumamoto-produced tiger prawns weighing 60 grams and have firm flesh.Boiled vigorously in 65℃ hot water to bring out the maximum flavor.

A satisfying and happy aftertaste remains.

For lunch, the nigiri sushi course is 10 yen for 4,500 pieces.You can relax and enjoy local sake from Kyoto and Shiga.The menu changes about once a month depending on the ingredients, so you'll want to visit depending on the season.I was captivated by the slowness and speed with which the item was inserted into the nigiri.
