As the name of the restaurant suggests, there is only standing counter seating.

Items Ordered
今回は生ビール+9貫+お椀と一通り堪能しました。
For sushi, I looked at the menu and ordered whatever I wanted.
Now, let me introduce you to the menu we received this time.
Nama Beeru (Draft Beer)
First of all,Nama Beeru (Draft Beer)” We will start from.
The brand is Super Dry.
Usually it's because I'm returning from a whiskey bar, and today was no exception.
I had been drinking a lot of whisky, but this was my first beer of the day, so it was delicious.
Assortment of 3 pieces of bluefin tuna
There are 3 types of tuna: lean, medium fatty, and large fatty tuna, and it's bluefin tuna.
1st piece: lean meat

しっかりとまぐろの旨味と香り、そして酸味を感じます。
2nd piece: medium fatty

先ほどの赤身の旨味と香りと酸味に脂が加わったという印象です。
3rd piece: Toro
Above image right
中トロにさらに脂が乗ったという印象で、ただ脂というだけでなくまぐろの香りもしっかりとあります。
毎回どれも美味しいのですが、いつもは赤身か中トロが美味しいなと思うところ、今日は大トロが良かったですね。
4th piece: Surf clam
Next is surf clams.
When you put it in your mouth, you can smell the aroma of the ocean, and when you bite into it, you can feel the sweetness of the delicious surf clam.
5貫目:平貝
平貝です。
シャクシャクとした繊維質な食感と噛んでいると甘さをしっかりと感じます。
甘さが出ない平貝もあるなか、こちらはしっかりと甘さを感じるので、美味しいですね。
6貫目:鳥貝
続いては好物の鳥貝です。
口に入れた瞬間に磯の香りがしっかりと広がります。
ややサイズが心もとないですが、味や香りはしっかりとあるので無問題です。
7貫目:つぶ貝
It's a whelk shellfish.
口に入れた瞬間の磯の香りとゴリゴリとした歯ごたえ、そして噛んでいると甘さが出てきます。
8貫目:はも
夏が旬のはもです。
こういった季節モノやはもなどの少し高級目なネタも提供してくれます。
ネタとシャリの間に挟まれている梅肉のインパクトがありつつも、皮目がクニュっとしており、噛むたびに旨味が出てきて美味しいです。
9貫目:すずき
こちらも夏が旬のすずきです。
旨味をしっかりと感じますが、少し水っぽい印象があるので、もう少し脱水されていると嬉しいですね。
このままで美味しいですけどね。
seaweed bowl
最後は海苔椀です。
It's the usual taste I drink in the basement of Ikebukuro.
The strong soup stock and seaweed feel are perfect for finishing the dish.
Impressions and Rating
お会計は生ビール+9貫+お椀で、合計約4,000円でした。
I chose slightly more expensive toppings such as shellfish and seasonal items, each costing 300 to 400 yen, so I ended up spending a fair amount of money, but I was very satisfied.
I think if you lower the rank of alcohol and toppings a little more, you can settle down to 2,000 yen, which is a little higher than a conveyor belt sushi chain.
訪れるたびに思っていますが、下手なカウンター鮨で1万~2万とか払うなら、こちらのお店に訪れた方が満足度は高いと思うほどです。
Lately, lines have started to form, so should I be happy that this restaurant is finally becoming well-known, or should I be sad that it's become a little harder to visit? .
Personally, I've been looking for a sushi or stand-up sushi restaurant that would surpass this one for a couple of years, but I haven't found one yet. .
It's such a good store.
