Sushi restaurant • 24-24 Denenchōfuhonchō, Ota City, Tokyo 145-0072, Japan
The specialty of the sushi restaurant "Sushi Fuji" is hand-pressed sushi made by the head chef. Although it seems simple, it stands out with the freshness and luxury of the ingredients. The head chef carefully selects seasonal ingredients from all over the country and occasionally insists on a somewhat forceful attitude in serving, thus earning the nickname "Bob Sushi" from regular customers. In the omakase course, you can enjoy plenty of premium sushi ingredients such as tuna, sea urchin, and scallops.
The character of the head chef is also charming. While making sushi, he enjoys lively discussions about fish stories, which is so charming that one might inadvertently become intoxicated. On the other hand, his laid-back behavior sometimes leads to points of concern, such as raising his voice or being a bit pushy, which might affect the quality of service. However, this might be the very charm of "Sushi Fuji".
The interior of the restaurant is a cozy space with only an 8-seater counter. Being able to closely watch the head chef's skillful techniques is also a charm. However, with long-standing regular customers, first-time visitors might feel a bit nervous. In such cases, if you engage in lively fish-themed conversations with the head chef, you'll quickly be able to break the ice.
Fresh ingredients, artisanal skills, and the character of the head chef. It seems that "Sushi Fuji" offers a slightly different sushi restaurant experience. It looks like it's worth a visit for sushi enthusiasts.
