美味しいにぎりに、楽しい一時 : Fuku zushi

I visited "Fuku Sushi" in front of Tsukuba City Research School Station. The last time I visited was at the end of November last year, so it's been 10 months. This time, I visited my wife for her birthday celebration. I made a reservation two weeks in advance and went to the store at 17:30 on the day. When I entered the store, the clerk who has been working at the store since the opening warmly greeted me with a warm "welcome". I was guided to the counter seat, greeted Mr. Itamae, and took a seat. Today, my wife wants to concentrate on eating, so I leave the driving to her and enjoy the drink. My wife asked for ginger ale and I asked for draft beer and toasted. Quench your thirst. I enjoyed everything from the passage to the nigiri Sushi. ○ Passage 700 yen It is raw yuba, egg tofu, fried ginkgo, and purple sweet potato stewed in honey. Raw yuba with a crisp and rich taste. Egg tofu with snow crab crumbled meat and crab miso on top. Beautiful jade-colored ginkgo. Purple sweet potatoes carefully stewed with sugar. Each one was carefully finished. ○ Luxury sashimi platter 4200 yen One of the pleasures of eating a plate of large toro 2, medium toro, red meat, red snapper, hirame, striped mackerel, red mackerel, abalone, northern mussels, mussels, red shrimp, small skin, octopus fillets and tsuma such as sea grapes, micro tomatoes, large leaves, shiso seeds, and raw nori may be one of the pleasures of eating while looking for where the fillets are hidden. The fillet may seem small, but it was a delicious sashimi that was particular about natural products. ○ Grilled clams (2 pieces) 1200 yen 2 large clams. My wife ate both of them, so I don't know who I am, but they were plump and thick. ○ Asparagus beef roll 1200 yen A dish of grilled asparagus wrapped in thinly sliced beef. It will be served with grated ponzu sauce. The asparagus was fresh and delicious, but the beef was muscular and firm. ○ Deep-fried white shrimp in a thin batter 900 yen A dish of white shrimp dressed in a thin batter and fried in oil. It is lightly sprinkled with salt. Squeeze the lemon that came with it. One white shrimp is large, and you can feel the flavor of the shrimp. Because the batter is thin, it is crispy and you can enjoy it like a snack. ○ Small skin gari, cucumber, large leaf roll 1200 yen When I asked for small skin for Japan sake ate, I was served a dish of small skin, chopped gari, shredded cucumber, and large leaves wrapped in seaweed. It was a dish that had a good vinegar-tightened skin, a refreshing aroma of gari, cucumber, and large leaves. ○ Luxury selection nigiri 8000 yen Itamae's recommended set of 18 nigiri, bowl, and dessert. The material this time is pickled tuna with lean meat, hirame, tuna back toro, red snapper sand suri, red shellfish, new squid, new squid geso, tuna big toro, red mackerel, car prawns, engawa, stone wall shellfish, striped mackerel, mild shellfish, salmon roe, untan, tuna large toro haramo, broiled tuna toro, conger eel, egg, hmm? While writing the review, I counted everything from pickled tuna to eggs, and there were 20 kinds. I wonder if they served it for my wife's birthday celebration. The tuna was Kamaishi's main tuna, and the redness was delicious red meat with just the right amount of acidity, and the large toro ni daitoro haramo had a good fat ride and was delicious and speechless. Shellfish such as new squid and Ishigaki shellfish, which were probably the last in terms of the season, were also delicious. Untan was from Saga, and it was a delicious untan with firm grains and a sweet taste without any peculiarities. 8000 yen is cheap with this content, isn't it? ○ Kamatoro takumaki, gun roll 2000 yen My wife ate most of the nigiri, so I asked for a toro taku maki and a gun roll. When I tried it, I felt that the tuna meat in the toro was different from usual, so when I checked it, it was wrapped in the part of the kamatoro. The combination of sweet and spicy boiled dried gourd and grated wasabi is good, and I often ask for it. We also enjoyed a variety of sake, starting with beer, highballs, Japan sake, and barley shochu. It seems that the Fukusushi Tsukuba restaurant has been open here for 15 years, but I have been visiting since the opening, so it has been 15 years already. I hadn't had a single price increase since I opened, but I had heard that the price was raised for the first time in February this year, but the range of the price increase was not so large, and I wondered if it was okay at this price. Thank you very much for your attention to delicious nigiri and a good time. If you want to eat delicious Sushi again, I'll stop you.

こちらの福鮨さんへ通うようになって４年になります。いつ行っても美味しいお寿司を食べさせてくれるので安心して伺えるお店です。いつもは夜に伺う事が多い自分だが、この日は午後に用事があり午前中で仕事を切り上げました。家に帰る前にどこかでランチを食べてから帰ろうと、しばらく伺っていない柏の福鮨へ電話をしてみると今日はお客さんが多くてネタが切れそうなのでと断られ、もう寿司モードに入っている自分としては近くの寿司屋でもいいかと思っていたのですが、つくばの福鮨へは１ヶ月以上伺っていない事に気付いたので、用事までは時間があるし伺ってみるかと電話をするとランチのピークの時間は過ぎたので席は空いておりますので、いつものカウンターを準備してお待ちしてますと返答があったので、急いで車で向かいます。車を停めてお店に入った時には１３時を過ぎていたので、店内にはテーブル席で食事をされている方が１人いるだけでした。いつものカウンター席へ入っていくと、いつもお世話になっている板前さんがいらっしゃいと笑顔で迎えてくれます。今日は仕事休みなの～・・・なんて話をしながら、ランチメニューの中から土瓶蒸し付きスペシャルランチをお願いしました。

○土瓶蒸し付きスペシャルランチ　２，５００円

サラダ、小鉢
トマトやレタスなどにゴマのドレッシングがかかったサラダとほっこりとしたジャガイモに生姜の風味がきいた挽肉の餡がかかった小鉢です。

天ぷら盛合せ
天ぷらの内容は海老が２本、カボチャ、ニンジン、シシトウです。ランチセットの天ぷらですが、海老は程々の大きさで衣はサクッと海老の身はプリッと火が入りすぎず美味しかったです。

松茸土瓶蒸し
土瓶蒸しは酢橘を絞っていただきます。松茸と酢橘の香りと出汁がきいた汁をまずいただき、中にある具を食べます。松茸の他に、鱧や海老、銀杏などいろいろ入っています。

にぎり
にぎりは鮪の赤身、縞鯵、甘海老、平目、蟹、帆立、鮪のカマトロ、桜えび、白魚、玉子といった内容です。本来ならランチで出されるネタではないと思いますがサービスでいろいろ奮発してくれたようです。特に桜えびは年に２回程収穫のシーズンがあって、駿河湾で晩秋の時期に採れる初物だそうで、甘みがあって美味しかったです。それと白魚は稚内産と言っていたような気がしますが、これも仕入れたばかりでとても新鮮で身がパリッとしていて食感が良く旨味があります。あまり白魚って好きではないのですが、今回のものは良かったですね。

デザート
デザートは自家製のパンナコッタに完熟キウイとバナナが添えてあります。こちらでデザートをいただくと、昔１４時から１７時までやっていた甘味処お福さんで出されていた和風パフェやあんみつなどが食べたくなります。

久しぶりにこちらのランチをいただきましたが、この内容で２，５００円は安いですよね。でも寿司屋はランチではなく、夜に行って楽しむものだと個人的には思っているので、来月の半ばあたりの夜に伺いたいと思います。ご馳走様でした。
