落ち着いた雰囲気でお寿司と天ぷらを！ : Ueno sushi kositsu tentsuu

This restaurant is on the second floor of a building in an alley close to Ueno Station. Once you go up to the second floor, you will find an Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) and this Sushi restaurant. They appear to be from the same chain. Inside the restaurant there is a counter and several private rooms. Although it is not a completely private room, it has a dividing wall like a partition, and the number of people that can be accommodated can be adjusted by dividing it up. On this day, we were shown to this private room and started by ordering a drink. ■Appetizers ・Kamaage shirasu and akame seaweed ・Conger eel hachimanmaki Sweet sauce with the aroma of kinome leaf buds and Japanese pepper ・Dried persimmon Hakata yose What is Hakata yose? Sweet and almost dessert-like ・Kuzumomiji ・Lotus root Senbei (rice crackers) ■Shrimp shinjo clear soup The taste of grated kelp and soft shrimp shinjo ■Sashimi ・Sweet shrimp with miso ・Japanese Spanish mackerel Sweet with a hint of umami ・Bluefin tuna Fresh red meat ■Chawanmushi Shrimp, ginkgo, maple leaf gluten, etc. A type with a delicious dashi broth and a sauce on top ■ Tempura ・Goby ・Tiger prawn ・Pumpkin ・Shishito pepper ・Ginkgo Freshly fried with lemon salt The head of the prawn was especially delicious! It was fragrant, had a rich umami flavor, and was crispy, making it a perfect match for sake! ■Nigiri ・Medium fatty tuna - fatty and sweet ・Flounder - moderately cured with kombu seaweed ・Squid with shiso leaves ・Horse mackerel - grated green ginger and spring onion ・Marinated mackerel - surprisingly fluffy and thick mackerel, goes well with the rice! ・Raw Oyster- huge raw Oyster with a nice accent of yuzu pepper And here is the ginger, which is different - the color is brown. I thought it would be very strong from the brown seasoning, but it's not, and it seems to be made to go with sake. When I asked the chef at the end, he told me that the white ginger was further soaked in red vinegar to make a snack that goes well with sake. ■Deep-fried conger eel ■Tekkamaki and egg ■Tome-wake Nameko red soup ■Amami Hojicha ice cream Shiratama red bean paste kiwi ■Matcha ■Drinks ・Premium draft beer, matured selection ・Toki no Hitotsuki Today's recommendations There is a wide variety of both shochu and sake ・Murao There is also a wide variety of sake, including Moriizo's Gokujo I didn't order anything, but it's 7,500 yen, so I'd better drink with care! That's right. There are private rooms, but it seems best to dine in front of the chef and chat about all sorts of things. We talked a little at the end, and he seemed like a fun, talkative person, so I would have liked to talk more. The private rooms are suited to business meetings and other occasions. Personally, I could have gone on for a bit longer, but I'll stop here for now. Thank you for the meal (*´▽｀*)
