うなぎ 魚政

葛飾・柴又 | 和食

One of my regular visits in Tokyo for unagi. As usual went for the branded eel 坂東太郞 which represents excellent cost vs quality. Quality of unagi today is top notch - rich collagen and fat. Sake isn’t as a bargain as before though

Restaurant originates from Chubu that bought whole cow from Hida. Good quality beef, a touch too fat for me as even the akami got decent amount of fat. Would like to have more seasoning too but the beef sashimi and sushi are both nice.

鮨 なんば 日比谷

有楽町・日比谷 | 寿司

Top quality ingredients with accurate control of shari temperature. Many of the otsumami are exciting. Onigiri are great too though personally I find the shari are seasoned on the heavier side to my taste
