【東京・銀座】鮨いつつおまかせ1万円コース【2023年6月訪問】

Sushi Itsutsu

This time we will visit “Sushi Itsutsu”.

If you want to enjoy counter sushi, it's normal to spend more than 30,000 yen per person.It is said that you can enjoy counter sushi for 10,000 yen (+ tax) per person.

And in Ginza.

I once went to a counter sushi restaurant that cost around 30,000 yen per person for an anniversary such as my wife's birthday, but the high price of 30,000 yen raises the bar for expectations.

It's certainly delicious, but I think it's worth the price, and I thought it would be delicious for 30,000 yen.

If it costs 10,000 yen, the bar for expected value will be lowered somewhat, so I think you can eat it without hesitation.

What kind of sushi is worth 10,000 yen?

I would like to introduce all the menus that I enjoyed this time.

1st item: Wakame

Enjoy chewy wakame with ponzu sauce.

By the way, it's all you can eat.

Gari

The nigiri is not yet made, but the gari will be served first along with the wakame.

As a drinker, you can drink alcohol here, which is great.

By the way, just like wakame, it is an all-you-can-eat option.

Well, most stores will provide additional gari when they run out.

2nd item: Mozuku vinegar

The texture and crunch are good.

It's obviously different from what you'd buy at a supermarket, and I think it's on par with the sushi served at counter sushi restaurants in the 30,000 yen class.

3 items: pumped tofu, salmon roe, sea urchin

Kumiage tofu is apparently oboro tofu.

Honestly, the sea urchin smelled like alum.

It felt like it was very small.

Considering the price range, it can't be helped, but I don't think it's necessary to force the offer.

4th item: white shrimp

The shrimp are sticky, rich and sweet.

The egg yolk sauce makes it even more rich and delicious.

This was my favorite of the snacks.

Item 5: Grunt

You wouldn't understand this even if it was served at a restaurant in the 30,000 yen class.

It has no odor and has a strong flavor.

6th item: Tempura (unknown)

I forgot to ask what kind of tempura it was. .

It's nice to be able to enjoy fried foods too.

Item 7: Wasabi leaf

It will refresh your mouth, which has become a little greasy after eating tempura.

Item 8: Soft boiled octopus

The texture of the thin skin was sticky, or rather stringy, which gave me an unpleasant impression.

However, the taste and the softness of the octopus are perfect.

Item 9: Shiitake mushrooms

It's so juicy that the water overflows.

It's almost like drinking shiitake mushroom soup.

10 items: Prawns

It has a firm sweetness.

I guess it's called Saimaki shrimp because it's smaller in size.

11 items: Pickles

Bettara pickles and burdock tamari pickles.

I will eat it as a snack.

1st piece: Mackerel stick sushi

I always wonder if it's okay to count bar sushi as one piece.

You can really taste the fat and flavor of the mackerel, and you won't notice any of the peculiar taste of blue fish.

12 items: Steamed clam sake

The meat is tender and the soup is delicious with the soup stock oozing out.

Item 13: Kinki pottery

It's fatty and delicious.

2nd piece: Flounder

This is where the real nigiri starts.

It has a sticky texture and is delicious.

3rd piece: Red sea bream

It has a crunchy texture.

4th piece: Squid

I forgot to note what kind of squid it was. .

The knife is inserted firmly, and when you bite into it, it mixes well with the sushi.

5th piece: pickled red meat

The moisture has been removed and the taste and sourness of the tuna can be clearly seen.

6th piece: Toro

It's not that greasy so it's easy to eat.

7th piece: Kohada

After the big fatty tuna, it's the standard flow of Kohada.

You can also feel the good vinegar and fat.

7th piece: Botan shrimp

It has a sticky texture and a sweet taste.

It's also in the thumbnail,It was my favorite among the nigiri.

Some people just like shrimp. .

8th piece: Scallop

I feel the sweetness.

Item 14: Tamagoyaki

It tastes like a soup stock roll.

9th piece: Trotak

The flavor of the tuna comes first, followed by the texture and saltiness of the pickled radish, which mixes as you chew.

Takuan has a firm texture and is a nice accent.

10th piece: Golden sea bream

It's fatty, flavorful, and delicious.

11th piece: Conger eel

It has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and is not at all addictive.

My wife said she was full, so I got some conger eel for her.

Please be considerate and serve with salt and yuzu.

The conger eel doesn't have that much fat, so it has a light flavor overall, probably due to the seasoning.

Personally, I preferred Tsume.

12th piece: dried gourd

The dried gourd was not too sweet and had quite a texture.

bowl

The soup stock from the fish comes out well.

dessert

My wife who loves fruit took it.

My wife said it was delicious.

alcohol

Tsuruyo

This is a sake from my hometown Niigata.

Iso Jiman

It goes without saying that this is a famous drink.

Nihonshu (Sake) seemed to have a small number of types, about 5 types, but since there are only 1 or 2 brands to choose from, I think it would be easy to choose.

I also drink one bottle of Bin Beeru (Bottled Beer) and one glass of lemon sour.

checkout

Course for 2 people (11,000 yen x 2) + Bin Beeru (Bottled Beer), lemon sour, Nihonshu (Sake)2,The bill was approximately 25,000 yen.

Courses are naturally cheap, and drinks are also reasonably priced.

Impressions

Some of the dishes were delicious, while others were just average, but this can be found at any restaurant, and the course is only 10,000 yen, so there's no harm in having a few average dishes.

You may have opinions on how to count,It comes with 14 snacks, 12 nigiri pieces, a bowl, and a dessert, so I was very satisfied with the volume.

I was surprised that they even offered tempura as a snack.

My wife, who is a light eater, seemed to get full halfway through the meal, so I ended up eating her portion as well.

I think I'm a pretty good eater compared to other people, but even if I didn't eat as much as my wife, I think the portion was still satisfying.

So, how did it compare to counter sushi in the 30,000 yen class?

Counter sushi in the 30,000 yen class is ``quality over quantity', and this time's Sushi Itsutsu is 'quantity over quality” I think it will be.

If you compare the tastes and compare properly, I don't think you can beat counter sushi that costs 30,000 yen per person in terms of taste, so in that sense,quality”.

It's delicious, so ``quality” is not low, so please do not misunderstand.

I'd rather eat a lot of delicious food than just a few super delicious ones.quantity over quality'', so if you look at the total including price, personally, I think ``It's fine here now.”.

I don't have the financial resources to spend everyday, but I plan to visit there again next time.
