Sushi: Iwashi (Sardine)<\/p>\n
Sardine is the classic blue-backed fish, and while freshness is said to be everything, careful work and proper aging give it remarkable depth.<\/p>\n
At Oku-Akasaka Sushi Tanji, we choose the finest sardine of the day, judging the balance of salt and vinegar and the aging time with care.<\/p>\n
On the palate, sweet, melting fat and concentrated umami meet our red vinegar rice, leaving an elegant finish.<\/p>\n
A single piece of nigiri that holds the craft of Edomae sushi \u2014 one we hope you will taste.<\/p>\n
Oku-Akasaka Sushi Tanji (5 minutes’ walk from Akasaka Station)<\/p>\n
– By reservation only; omakase course<\/p>\n
– Matcha and seasonal Japanese sweets served in our tea room<\/p>\n
