We can eat delicious and reasonable sushi in many places in Japan.
However, I'd like to introduce my favorite sushi restaurant,” Hiro-zushi” located Saitama.
It takes about an hour from Tokyo Station to Hiro-zushi.
You can get to there easily by taxi from Omiya Station.
Google Map says, "Dai Sushi," however, it is not a fact.
Indeed, 「大」is "Dai," but the shop owner calls the Kanji character "Hiro."
What we can taste is different every time, and it depends on season.
Winter is the most high-class fish season.
For example, fugu, crab, etc.
You might not be able to eat urchin "Uni, " or salmon roe "Ikura," every time.
However, Hiro-zushi never uses cultured fish, and serves only the best NATURAL PRODUCTS.
It is obviously different from many usual sushi restaurants.
Regarding tuna "Maguro," there is no denying that Japanese inshore fish is not always the best.
The chef called 「大将」"Taisho" is chasing the best tuna at the time, all over the world.
Last time, I felt spring had come, eating "Nore-sore".
No smell, and the texture is like that smooth jelly and silk are mixed.
Initially, they are no color and transparent, but are colored brown with soy-sauce.
You can select a small cup of Japanese sake among many product lineups.
Of course, large bottle is also ready.
This Wednesday was very cold.
So, Taisho offered us fish Shabu-shabu.
Three kinds of fish were "Kue," "Kuro-mutsu," "Kinmedai."
We can eat them at raw, but...
Medium rare boiled is the best!
Iwagaki, natural oysters are much bigger than Magaki which is cultured oyster, but these are still small.
It will be bigger in the summer season.
We can know about the chef's skill by eating Makimono, rolled sushi.
↓These were perfect rolled sushi, because cucumber was sliced finely, natural wasabi and the best Akagai ark shell from Yuriage fishing port were selected.
Japanese soup is also important menu in sushi restaurant.
Natural Wakame seaweed is brisk, like aliving.
Hiro-zushi is mom-and-pop business, so it is not so gorgeous interior, but friendly and at home atmosphere.
Taisho is very kind, and his son who is a junior high school student is studying English hard.
Reservation is must.
