Mamoru是躺在我收藏夹里面很久的一家店了,因为要电邮预约,嫌麻烦一直没来。这次多谢闺蜜的安排第一次来试一下。整体用餐体验是很不错的,从装修到服务到出品都体现出来高级鮨店该有的水平,但是价位方面略嫌性价比不足。首先三道刺身分别是三重县的池鲷,北海道的北极贝以及爱媛县深海池鱼。池鲷应该做过熟成处理,鱼生软绵好吃,北极贝很鲜甜,深海池鱼则是比较普通但也是新鲜的。值得表扬的是师傅虽然不说中文,但特别安排了翻译给每一组客人,介绍的很详细。接下来是茶碗蒸,平贝和来自宫城的鲍鱼。茶碗蒸普普通通,平贝最近比较少吃到,相比帆立贝它会硬一些,更有口感,这道也很好吃。鲍鱼配肝酱出品也很不错,虽然稍显不如志魂或saito,但也是一流的水准。接下去进入寿司环节有佐贺的新子,山口的池鱼和岩手县石桓贝。这贯新子偏大,感觉已经有点过大了,味道是ok是,池鱼新鲜好吃,鱼味重,石桓贝当季,也是新鲜好吃的。接下去有熊本天草的车海老,北海道的三文鱼籽和来自爱尔兰的大腹。车海老煮的刚刚好,肉质弹牙,三文鱼籽很新鲜,入口又爆汁的感觉,大腹也很好吃(不过最近真是吃到了来自世界各地的吞拿哈哈)然后穿插的是北海道毛蟹,蟹肉配蟹膏很

总体来说好吃,但是性价比一般,连加一差不多3000+吧,相比之下,可能会选择其他店多一些。

The sake whisper was unprofessional with bad personal hygiene and attitude. He ruined my dinner! 
My recent visit to Sushi Mamoru was highly anticipated, as I had heard great things about the food and service. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment as soon as the sake whisper came.
The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a serene ambiance, which was perfect for enjoying a peaceful meal. As soon as we were seated, the sake whisper approached us and began describing the various types of sake that were available. I appreciated the information, but the server's voice was so loud and assertive that it was difficult to concentrate. I had to ask him to speak more quietly several times.
As the meal progressed, the sake whisper's voice became more and more grating. It was incredibly distracting and unpleasant for me. I wanted to focus on the food and enjoy them but I found myself constantly being pulled out of the experience by the server's loud voice. Heseemed to be hovering around our table for the entire meal. I felt like I couldn't have a private conversation with my dining companion. He made me feeling uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, his poor personal hygiene added to my discomfort, I couldn't help but notice that he had a strong body odor, which was very unpleasant. It was clear that he had not taken any steps to address the issue, which made me question the overall cleanliness of the restaurant.
Overall, this restaurant is overrated.

Mamoru是我們很喜愛的一家壽司店,壽司好吃不在話下,師傅十分專業,細心又親切,而且全店只有八個位,私隱度高又坐得舒服。是晚到訪Mamoru為朋友慶生,幾枝sake配以chiba san的壽司,滿足哂我們一行8人的願望 chiba san的壽司非常着重魚生的鮮味,他亦非常努力去找一些特別矜貴的食材,我們有幸吃到其中一款魚生應該是全香港只有這裏才可以吃到,因為東京魚市場只有唯一一條然後也給chiba san買了! 說實在,要成為米芝蓮級數的omakase,壽司好吃是基本,但我們一直重返Mamoru就是欣賞chiba san的手勢和專業,以及他努力不懈發掘食材的心!

Some sashimi to start. My favourite one is the bottom right, baby tuna! They explained it’s very rare to have it in restaurant as they are protected. But there’s chances the baby tuna accidentally went into the net so that’s why we had chance to taste it. We all prefer the akami one. It’s crazy it got otoro texture.


Sadly the otoro one didn’t melt in the mouth.

We add on an oyster. Very creamy and fat! Always love oysters!

Anago, Tsukemono, Egg, and some rolls (and extra Karasumi)


Anago serving in 2 ways. One with sea salt and the latter one with sauce. Love both.


I have never had so much Karasumi in a day. The salty flavour go really well with wine actually.

The restaurant is located in Wanchai Yat Sin Street, a rather remote location, far from the busy part of Causeway Bay or Wanchai. The staff are very polite and welcoming, and soon we are seated at the spacious, beautiful hinoki counter that accommodates eight customers. Chef Chiba is already busy at work with his assistant getting ready to serve.

Looking at the sake menu, I pick a bottle of sake, the rare 善知鳥 大吟醸 ($2,200). Coming from the top brewery 西田酒造店 in Aomori, this sake is made from the free-flow dripping process, without adding any pressure, so the production is very tiny. With a nice peach and melon aroma, well-balanced and smooth pure taste, it is a great sake to pair with the different food on the night.

We have the Omakase Takumi Menu ($3,280), with the first course being Hirame 平目. The Olive Flounder comes from Aomori, with an elastic yet firm texture, a mild and delicate flavour. Paired with the ponzu sauce, the acidity from the sauce helps to highlight the umami of the sashimi. Wonderful.

The second course is Sawara 鰆. The chef has smoked the skin of the Spanish Mackerel, coming from Mie, over hay fire, infusing the fish with a fantastic smoky aroma, and also vitalizing the fish oil to make it even more delicious. Pair with wasabi and soy sauce, it is frankly the best Sawara I have tried. The staff explained that nowadays the fish has been graded and only those reaching a certain amount of fat level can be classified as ‘toro grade’. Chef Chiba further shared that only two fish markets in Japan offer this grade and he proudly is sourcing from one of them.

The third course is Chawanmushi 茶碗蒸. The Steamed Egg Custard is just off the stove, steaming hot, with a nice umami taste from the dashi mixing with the egg. The seaweed has further added some green colour to make it more appealing on both sight and taste. The magic comes from the plum puree on top. Upon mixing with the egg the dash of plum brings a memorable fragrance which is harmonious.

The fourth course is Hokkigai 北寄貝. The chef has brushed it with a bit of dashi before grilling it. The sweetness from the Surf Clam, coming from Hokkaido, is intense, and the slightly crunchy texture on the bite is also very pleasant.

The fifth course is Tairagai 平貝. The chef has sliced the large Hokkaido Pen Shell, then grill it with nikiri sauce, before wrapping it on a piece of nori. A firmer texture than the normal scallops, I found it has more concentrated flavours, and the umami from the nori sheet enhances the enjoyment further.

The sixth course is Akami Zuke 本鮪の漬. The Lean Tuna comes from a 132kg Bluefin Tuna caught in Oma, Aomori. The chef explains that the size is quite small, but the quality is very good, with a nice fat level. Having marinated in soy sauce briefly, the lean tuna is very soft, silky smooth in texture, and the marinade just right to impart good umami but not excessively salty.

The seventh course is Botan-Ebi 牡丹蝦. This Chiba Spot Prawn, as explained by Chef Chiba, is the true Botan-Ebi, while many which looks similar in the market are in fact coming from Toyama Bay, and not of the same. The prawn has been lightly grilled to bring in more sweetness. Another fantastic piece.

The eighth course is Buri 鰤. The Japanese Yellowtail is caught in northern part of Hokkaido, with the fish returning in the autumn/winter season. It has nice intense flavours while not too fatty. Another great sushi on the night.

The ninth course is O-Toro 大とろ. Coming from the same Tuna, the fatty belly has been carefully cut to avoid the tendon and then grilled slightly to melt the fish oil, making it even more aromatic and tasty. A luxurious and tasty piece.

The tenth course is Ankimo 鮟肝. The Monkfish Liver is creamy and wonderful in taste, but the true highlight for me is the finely chopped Nara Zuke 奈良漬 on top. The pickles have been aged by the chef for five years, with still a crunchy texture and a great taste that reminds me a bit of the best Shaoxing wine. A must-try in my opinion.

The eleventh course is Kuromutsu 黒鯥. The Bluefish is a relative of another prized fish Akamutsu, but being less fatty, with the flesh tastier with a stronger flavour. I like the Bluefish more because of this specific reason. Also, most other restaurants normally torch the Akamutsu making it a bit too greasy and not elegant.

The twelfth course is Magaki 真牡蠣. The Oyster, coming from Miyagi, has been marinated with kombu, and seeing how the chef kneaded the sushi with the soft and fragile oyster is a testimony of his superb skills. The oyster has a rich briny taste but not in any way fishy. Another wonderful piece I would like to encore.

The thirteenth course is Kobako-Gani 香箱蟹. The female Snow Crab, coming from Hyogo, is in season now, and the chef has meticulously removed the meat from the body and legs, before mixing with the abundance of crab roes and yolk to stuff it back on the shell, with each customer having a generous portion. With some yuzu shavings, every spoon is a pure joy with its poppy texture, with the taste impeccable.

The fourteenth course is the rare and prized Kinki 喜之次. The line-caught Channel Rockfish comes from Hokkaido, with very high fat content, and sweet in taste. The chef has lightly seared over charcoal to energize the fish oil, with the bite coating the mouth in great fragrance of the fish oil. The very soft texture of the flesh is also superb.

The fifteenth course is Bafun-Uni 馬糞雲丹. The Hokkaido Sea Urchin has a very sweet taste, and the chef has made a gunkan-maki to better hold the soft and creamy sea urchin on the shari. There is no any hint of weird note, and another of the great ingredient used on the night.

Apart from the ginger, the chef also prepares some other pickles for us, including Pickled Daikon 大根 and Yama-Imo 山芋. The winter radish has a crunchy texture, pickled nicely with a slight sweetness to highlight its flavours, and the chef has added some yuzu shavings to freshen up the palate. The mountain yam has a contrasting soft mushy texture, infused with a bit of the spiciness from the wasabi. The Tamago 玉子 is soft and flavourful too.

Coming to the sixteenth course, the chef serves us Anago 穴子. The Conger Eel comes from Nagasaki, with the chef grilling them without sauce (shirayaki) and then cutting in halves, serving in two ways. One is added with a bit of sea salt to season. This one is able to highlight better the original flavours of the eel, with the melting in the mouth texture extremely pleasant.

The other serving is the more traditional way of brushing with a bit of the special anago sauce. The sweet and savoury taste of the sauce is highly complementary with the taste of the conger eel. It is really difficult to say which one is better, but I probably will give my vote to this style of Anago which has the long history.

Wrapping up the sushi the chef prepares the Tuna Maki. The mashed tuna, together with a bit of cucumber, is then rolled to a small maki, cutting into small pieces to allow eating in one bite. The great seasoning of the velvety soft tuna, and the crunchy cucumber shreds, create a wonderful finale to the omakase dinner.

But when the staff checks with us whether we want to have additional pieces, we immediately confirm. The first one is Hamaguri 蛤 ($180). The large Hard Clam is poached perfectly, with the clam meat fully cooked but not over-done to be rubbery. With a bit of special sauce to add the sweetness and umami taste, it is very delicious.

The second additional piece is Tsubugai 粒貝 ($180). The large Whelk meat has been sliced, with the right thickness to ensure a good crunchy bite, with intense umami flavours. Eating the best ingredients at the right season, this is another example of how the chef live up with this motto.

The third additional piece is Shiro-Ebi 白海老 ($150). The small White Shrimps from Toyama are carefully kneaded to make the sushi, with a soft mouthfeel and sweet taste that is memorable and filling the last tiny space in our stomach on this feast of flavours.

The Miso Soup is prepared using fish bones, full of flavours. There is a bit of special bean paste added, with an interesting spicy note and when mixed the enhanced savoury taste is delicious, with the temperature of the soup also helps to warm the stomach to make us all feel comfortable and contented.

The dessert is Home-made Warabi Mochi. The q texture of the mochi is very nice, dusting with some soy bean powder. The black sugar is not too sweet and has a rich and authentic flavour which I prefer over the white refined sugar.

Service is very good, and even though Chef Chiba can only converse with us with some limited English, the staff helps to explain and translate, so we are not feeling left out, especially with the other customers able to speak Japanese. The bill on the night is $10,670 and frankly it is quite expensive, but it is worth coming to experience the quality of the ingredients and the skills of Chef Chiba.

日本師傅很用心,職員也親切。不過無比較無傷害,熟客待遇始終唔同啲。
我追加一件石坦貝,已經明示暗示叫我唔好追加,覺得有啲失落。不過,都明白最近日本魚市場成日放假,都唔係你想加就加。
希望可以好快再食到🥳

Readers who know me probably know that I am not big on sushi. I often felt that the combination of fish and rice was not greater than its parts alone. I miss out on the minute details of either if I have to take them together in one bite. That, and the fact that I cannot digest rice well, means I rarely have sushi.

So when I do have sushi, it really needs to be worth it. Chiba-san’s craft is one of a minority that just gets the balance absolutely right, and he is very consistent. His neta (cuts of fish) and akashari (balls of rice) taste better together, not to mention that a great number of pieces are always above expectation. Sometimes he would go through the trouble to prepare different shari for different neta. The meals are not inexpensive, but it is the budget needed to find some of the less accessible fish and fish parts out there. And you are in safe hands with Chiba-san, whose love and knowledge of fish are striking.

I could feel, just with the temperature of some sushi pieces, that the preparation of each item on the menu had been carefully attended to. Say, the eel sushi where the texture just could not be that perfect midpoint between overly soft and just slightly overcooked if it was made well in advance and then reheated. Eel cooked on the day of serving is firm yet bouncy and fluffy, and the serving temperature for both the eel and the shari here is the temperature of our skin, which is the perfect temperature. If you have a smaller mouth, like many ladies do, some larger pieces of sushi like the kuruma-ebi would be cut in half to ensure they are bitesize.

And there are many other cuts of fish that require close attention to the ratio of marinades and condiments to the neta and shari. Without going the extra mile to be attentive, it is difficult to be consistent over time, especially in catering to guests like me who request for much smaller sushi, and especially as a few of Chiba-san’s dishes remain unchanged over the years, yet never failing.

Today, I also noticed how adeptly he was able to remove the skin from some of the hikarimono of the day. The fat under the skin was removed cleanly to reveal a beautiful, shiny layer without damaging either the skin or the flesh.

I used to think that more expensive sushiyas had an advantage in that they have a bigger budget to procure better fish and secure better relationships with suppliers. But that was quickly debunked. Better fish with mediocre craft is still very much discernible. As an example, without being specific with names, we had been to two highly distinguished sushi restaurants under the same group, both with excellent masters serving very similar sushi pieces with similar prices, but the consensus amongst people I know who dined at both places is that one of them was considerably and consistently less memorable.

Every sushiya has their own niche, and every guest has their personal preferences. In my humble opinion Chiba-san tends to be exceptional with squid, shellfish, shiromi (white-fleshed fish) and hikarimono (silver-skinned fish). And of course, his soup and eel sushi, which are truly unparalleled.

And like I said in my previous reviews for Kohaku and Mamoru, the experience with a kind and passionate master is an engaging and pleasant one, if you are open to conversation. The servers on-site are also remarkably friendly and patient.

I hope, despite the growth in popularity, that the dining experience at Mamoru will retain its dazzle over time.

Ara 東海鱸魚/石斑魚, Shimane 島根
Ara is today’s canvas backdrop, a relatively uncommon piece. This is something new for me, and a departure from the usual hirame or hoshi karei. Because it has been aged for a week, there is less tartness and the ara has a much richer umami on the tongue that lingers even a few moments after I eat it. The texture is tender with a bit of bounciness. That difference hit me even before we knew the fish was aged.

Tairagai 平貝, Okayama 岡山
This is one very memorable shellfish. Very sweet, very delicate, but more importantly, it has a unique firmness. Tairagai is usually taken out of the sea one by one manually. The fresh taste lingers long after I finish it. We had tairagai cooked live before us in South Korea in 2020, but it just wasn't the same.

Akagai 赤貝, Yuriage, Sendai 仙台 閖上
Yuriage’s akigai is back after the July and August hiatus. You can tell how delightful it was just from its vibrant color. Every piece has a substantial mouthfeel with an unrivaled freshness and savoriness of the ocean. There is no better akigai anywhere I have tried.

Kinki 喜之次, Kushiro, Hokkaido 北海道 釧路
Raw kinki is super buttery and quite fatty—a delight. 

Kohada 小肌, Fukuoka 福岡

Always Chiba-san’s great piece. I’m not big on fish skin, but this skin is so beautifully balanced. It’s not dry nor fatty, nor overly salty. The whole thing taken together gives a wonderful taste. I also took note that the temperature of the rice was just the right warmth.

Shiro-Ika 白魷魚, Shimane 島根
I love squid and practically all types of squid. This one is a bit crispy, but also sticky. I can easily eat two whole, big (raw) squids in one sitting alongside other dishes, so my only complaint is that this was not enough to quench my squid addiction.

Akamutsu 赤鮭, Nagasaki 長崎
Rejoice, if you like fattier kinds of fish, as akamutsu (nodoguro) is one of the tastiest shiromi out there.

Saba 鯖魚, Iwate 岩手
I almost messaged Chiba-san to ask whether he could include Saba in our menu today, because I was worried the first day of October would still not be considered cool enough for fatty saba. But I resisted, as I wanted him to be completely in charge of our menu. So we were extremely happy to see this. And while some people like fattier saba than this, I actually thought today’s piece was perfect.

Aka-awabi 赤鮑魚, Ōhara, Chiba 千葉 大原
Everyone knows that Ōhara is home to the world’s most sought-after abalone. This one has an irresistible depth of flavor, followed by a distinctively fresh and almost milk-like sweetness. The texture is super tender.

And then we serve the abalone liver with rice. The flavors are rich.

The octopus was pleasant. Usually Japanese-style cooked octopus tends to be a bit hard and chewy for me, but this was reasonably tender and moist. Minimal seasoning was needed to bring out the wonderful flavors of octopus, one of my favorite seafood. For extra kick, you could add in the yuzu pepper served on the side.

Buri 鰤魚, Hakodate, Hokkaido 北海道 函館
The best piece on the menu today for me. Apparently, global warming is causing some shifts in the duration for which fish are at their optimal fattiness. And this buri has a slightly lower fat content. For me, buri tends to be too heavy at times, masking some of its natural flavors. I enjoyed this piece so very much for its natural, complex umami and sweet fat.

Perfect midpoint between overly soft and just slightly overcooked. Eel cooked on the day of serving is firm yet bouncy and fluffy, and the serving temperature for both the eel and the shari here is the temperature of our skin, which is the perfect temperature.

Toro-Taku Maki 拖羅蓉黃蘿蔔小卷
The balance of everything in this roll is just genius, with onion and pickled daikon pairing like twins (or triplets) with toro. I think I like this even more than the kanpyomaki.

The best soup ever, period.

And then there is dessert to end. 

There is an upper limit for the number of photographs I can post in a review, so some of the items are not shown here.

It’s still only soft opening after months, because it’s been fully booked till don’t know when 🤪The omakase set is on the relatively high price range and sushi sizes were good for ladies, and we kept asking Chiba san for more to get all his goodies out for us.

Their shari 🍚 was top-notch as personally treating shari as one of the important factors to determine if the whole omakase experience is good. The shari was from Tsuroka (Chiba san’s hometown 🏠), its texture tends to be chewy. Some people might say the neta was a bit hard, but i liked it.

My fav piece of the course was geso ika with yuzu kocho 🦑 so fresh and crispy as the squid was slightly scalded. Their anago nigiri was also another highlight, loved the way that it was served in 2 flavs - one with lemon salt and one with anago sweet salt. Would recommend to try their lunch first:
Here we got the Kiwami set (hkd 1380 for 8 pieces of sushi, 3 pieces of sashimi and others e.g. rice roll, tamagoyaki and dessert).

Mamoru means to protect, and in this case, it is to uphold the art and tradition of sushi making. To me, it also seems to serve as a reminder to preserve the passion for the highest quality. It sounds like an easy thing to say, but serious diners will be able to discern whether that is a slogan or a promise—one that takes a lifetime of daily, painstaking hard work.

In the sushiya’s own words, it says, the seasonal omakase menu preserves this history while telling a story of the fragile environments that provide ingredients for Chef Chiba’s craft.

Indeed, during the meal we were made more aware of the overfishing of bluefin tuna. In its stead, we were introduced to an alternative that was line-caught in Ireland. Yuriage’s prized akagai is similarly closed for fishing in July and August. The gems of the ocean that we love have to be carefully managed for sustainability.

Fish talk aside, our meal was truly phenomenal. Each piece was beautifully presented with utmost freshness and a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The omakase starts with three sashimi courses and a steamed egg with nori. Ten pieces of sushi follow, with occasional refreshments in between, and ends with soup and dessert. Despite the apparent simplicity with which each sushi was made, I was left amazed at how they could taste so exquisite.

In addition to fish pieces and sushi crafting that are practical embodiments of perfection themselves, what is worth noting is Chiba-san’s openness to requests and his willingness to engage. Having a meal with Chiba-san is a wonderful experience. He has his diners at heart.

I was also mesmerized by the interior design of the sushiya, which was covered in light polished wood throughout and had a slight slant in its ceiling that made it feel like a little den in the middle of a snowy place. The experience was truly distinguished.

Thank you, 千葉大将. We will keep returning.

Chitahantou’s starry flounder has a delicate texture and exquisite flavor despite being mild, definitely one of the best of the white-fleshed fish. A real star.

白川甘鯛
Shirakawa tilefish from Ehime’s Yawatahama was a luxury. As it was half-grilled, the fat melts a little and the aroma from the skin and flesh gets released. The texture is heavenly.

ホッキ貝
Hokkigai was grilled with shottsuru, a kind of fish sauce with deep flavors of the ocean. You get some subtle flavors of fermentation, too. An interesting way to enjoy southern Hokkaido’s surf clam.

ナカズミ
At first sight, this looked like Kohada, the shiny, photogenic fish that is so representative of traditional Edomae-zushi. But Chiba-san explained that it was a bigger kohada called nakazumi, caught in Kumamoto’s Amakusa. I loved its fragrance and the lingering umami in the mouth. This must be a top piece from the market.

スミイカ
Cuttlefish is my favorite. This one is from Izumi in Kagoshima. It’s nutty and chewy and soft but firm. The texture and flavors are unbeatable. I know it sounds unconventional, but this was my favorite sushi of the meal.

スミイカゲソ
The cuttlefish’s tentacles are also wonderful with some yuzu pepper and unagi sauce. After all, where do all the tentacles go if customers only have the body? Freshness aside, the bite was a sharp crunch with absolutely zero chewiness. Nada.

Tokishirazu is chum salmon, available off-season. For some reason I always found its name charming (“a fish that knows no time“—like a dreamy fish that is a little lost in the big wide world). This piece comes from Hokkaido’s Kushiro, and the shari used with this piece was separately prepared from the rest. I heard that these salmon fish are very precious, as only a few of them are caught every day along the shores. The flavors were naturally rich and scrumptious.

マグロ赤身 醤油漬け
As mentioned above, the population of bluefin tuna needs to be managed carefully so that we can restore them to historic levels. Here we have an attempt at a similarly beautiful cut from one that was line-caught in Ireland. I can’t say it was my favorite kind of akami, but with the marinade bringing out even more flavor and intensity it was among the best.

マグロ中とろ
Fatty fish is not always my favorite, but this chuu-toro was an exception. The fat has a sweetness to it that is quite irresistible and rests in your mouth for minutes after it’s gone.

白エビ昆布締め
This was another great piece. Among raw seafood, I have a particular love for non-fish types, because they have a rounded flavor and squishy texture that is so different from the slightly acidic and more or less consistently soft texture of fish of all sizes and species. They also have a natural sweetness that is quite unique. Of course, proper handling is key, otherwise the chemistry that takes place would create unpleasant aromas and mushy textures. This shiraebi (from Toyama Bay, of course) was quite the jewel. It had a memorable mellowness and was soaked in kelp for an even deeper taste of the rocky shores.

Murasaki sea urchin (from Yoichi in Hokkaido) soaked in salted water is always a winner. The pure sweetness contrasts beautifully with its briny umami and if you are mindful it creates an experience in your mouth not quite like any other.

Yuriage’s red clams are known to be the best in Japan, and July and August are closed fishing seasons. We came on July 1st and managed to have some of the final pieces. It was so fresh and tasteful. It was the best.

山葵の茎の醤油漬け
This was wasabi stem marinated in soy-sauce. These precious plants were grown by Shuji Tashiro-san in Gotenba, Shizuoka, who was nationally recognized for the quality of his wasabi plants. The wasabi plants take five years to grow before they develop the best flavors for consumption and with so much demand they are terribly difficult for even locals to get hold of. And yet we had the pleasure of eating its stem. The stem was served with some katsuo shavings and sesame. The flavor was slightly bitter and piquant, but in a most delicate and pleasing way.

The classic kind. Very good.

干瓢巻き・赤貝のひもと胡瓜巻き
Finally we have a kampyo-maki and another maki with cucumber and the bits and ends of Yuriage’s precious final red clams. Kampyo is a traditional Edomae-zushi maki and while it seems like a simple every day vegetable, the preparation process is pretty demanding, so I appreciated it even more. And the sugar in the marinade made it very sweet and toothsome. I absolutely love the kampyo-maki. The akagai maki was similarly nice. I appreciated how Chiba-san made a chibi version for me, so I could enjoy it without being overly full.

Dessert was a bit more simple today. A youkan, a classic wagashi.

The omakase menu was $1380+10% per person.
