Based on my sushiya experiences so far, I would give Sushi Hashimoto the highest score total accounting for taste, balance, shari forming, temperature, service, attitude, and clientele. Hashimoto-san’s nigiris may not have as much of a wow factor like that of Harutaka and Inomata, but they are still very delicious and I prefer the larger-sized nigiri’s, al dente cooked rice, near body temperature shari, and mild vinegary taste. The other factors also make up for it.
Personally, I do care about the atmosphere and service in addition to the taste, and I like the laid-back atmosphere of Hashimoto. The clientele that day seemed to be food lovers and often asked about his ingredients and wine/sake pairing. There was even a young sushi chef who dined there to learn. I feel like this sushiya is just right for me, will definitely visit again.
Highly recommended.
