Randomly decided to find a omakase sushi in shibuya on our last night in Tokyo and went to shibuya stream for sushi.
Well priced omakase at JPY9800 per pax. This place is always packed when I passed by a few times during lunch and dinner.
They serve a total of 20 courses of sushi and seafood, generous portion of food, service was not your usual uptight omakase restaurants, judging by the service staff, they even ask us to put out bags at the shop seating ledge which surprises us since will block the view of outside patrons nevertheless the sushi was fresh and we were so stuffed towards the end of the meal, took around 1.5 hours to finish the course and can go off for more shopping after chatting Shibuya.
Sashimi - love it, fresh & what you will expect.
Sushi - enoki sushi was interesting, the rest was very fresh and the first piece of sushi you will get is fatty tuna Otoro, they want to make sure you ate the best piece when you are famish & it taste like heaven with the fish melt in your mouth.
Soup - serve at the beginning clam soup, not for everyone as the clam and fishy taste is very strong, they later serve it with miso, was very surprised by how much shijimi clams they use. We were joking that it was a avalanche of shells in there a small tiny cup. But I think Japanese believe that this kind of clam soup actually energize the body.
Lobster - slightly overcooked, if it has been a sashimi dish, I can tell it will be wonderful this dish will turn out.
The other side dishes were normal but well complement with the omakase set.
Pineapple was a good round up and cleanse the palate, but we secretly was hoping that it was some yuzu ice cream which might palate cleanse even better & round up the meal perfectly.
The only thing that I didn’t like was the seaweed they used, it was a bit bland or it could be because it is not roasted like other places we have gone to, if only the temaki and sushi they served is of a more flavourful seaweed, this meal will have been awesome, but nevertheless, understand why this place is always packed with people.
