@leo.matsuda is a rising star - stay tuned! You'll be hearing about his omakase show!
Great lunch today! First time for me: managatsuo fish - excellent taste!
Extra-points for sardines & mackerel and especially for eel!

Funny story: on google maps the place is a little bit misplaced - take care!
Enter Eat Play FoodHall - Sushidan is the last one!
At first we followed the pin, waited till 13:00 sharp to open - right on time for our reservation! One old guy showed up and declared: shoes off! Even though it seemed surprising, we did not object to taking our shoes off. After all, we're in Japan! Then we enter the small tatami place - nothing resembles a restaurant. Or it looks like a very old and quirky one. Lots of keys on the wall and no sign of food.
After insisting that we have a reservation, we finally found out that we were not inside a restaurant but at the community ONSEN Hiroo-Yu! :)
And thus we also got the explanation about why there was a bunch of old people waiting in front of the doors before opening: initially we thought they were the sushi masters! No surprise in Japan, wouldn't it be, right? It's pretty common to have a 70+ old as most appreciated sushi master :))
