I’d heard there was a good-value sushi place in Marunouchi Brick Square, so I dropped by. This one also has a crazy-high Tabelog score, which felt a bit rigged to me, but someone who’d actually bee…
I made a short trip to Fukuoka. For lunch, the only place I knew was Yoshizuka Unagiya, so I decided to try somewhere new. Yamanaka, a sushi restaurant with a modern interior I was told it’s the work …

After my visit to Naniwa Sushi I got hooked on sushi for a while and went around the sushi places in town that are supposed to be famous. This was one of them, but it was just so-so for its reputation. It felt…
There’s a small sushi place near (?) where I live that caters to the locals. It’s a good spot I’ve wanted to introduce for a while, and this time I somehow got lucky and managed to bring my c…
