It’s simple because the payment system involves picking out what you want to eat and paying afterwards. 190yen each. You can enjoy beer and sake here.

Sushi in the countryside comes in big portions. I love this kind of country-style sushi. You can find this kind of sushi shop near fishing ports, too.

Deba and Yanagiba.
"韻yin" Costs around 6,000 yen for two.
Beautiful and I can't wait to use them to make sushi!

Prep & Boiling This is a crucial step to keep the shrimp perfectly straight and beautiful.

Skewering: Insert a bamboo skewer along the belly side of the shrimp to keep it straight so it won't curl up while boiling.

Boiling: Bring water to a boil, drop in the skewered shrimp, and cook for about 2 minutes.

Cooling: Once boiled, submerge them in cold water to cool completely.

Shelling & Butterfly Cut Once fully cooled, it's time to shape the shrimp.

Peel: Gently remove the skewers and peel off the shells.

Trim: For a neat presentation, trim a tiny bit off the tip of the tail and the head end.

Butterfly: Slice along the belly side to open (butterfly) the shrimp. Clean out any remaining vein.

Soaking in Vinegar Solution This is the key to elevating the flavor! Soaking in a seasoned vinegar bath tightens the texture and adds a rich flavor.

Vinegar Bath Ratio:
Water: 1000 ml
Vinegar: 300 ml
Sugar: 100 g
Salt: 15 g

Soaking Time: Soak the shrimp in the mixture for 20 to 30 minutes.

Stumbled upon this amazing cafe during a walk in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa. From the outside, it looks like a vintage industrial warehouse with rusted corrugated metal, but inside, it’s a calm, spacious sanctuary with comfortable leather armchairs and high wooden ceilings. Enjoyed a classic melon soda float while soaking in the atmosphere.

Very budget-friendly!

I miss Kyoto.
Winter in this place.

A sushi lunch popular with local women, enjoyed right in the heart of Shinjuku. English digital menu was available.

I orderd Sushi-yoko nigiri set lunch (Tuna, medium-fatty tuna, squid, salmon, conger eel, shrimp, minced tuna with scallions, salmon roe, egg, and Spanish mackerel). additional 2kan of geso. The price varies depending on whether there are chairs; the standing-only option is 100 yen cheaper.
