Kotohogi

[Sushi and Sake Kotohogi] in Omiya is a restaurant where you can relax and enjoy sushi and sake.

The store name is written in kanji as "Koju". Its origin stems from the humble wish of the owner and his wife, ``We hope that people can feel a little joy through sushi and sake.'' We opened a store with 6 counter seats and 1 table seat just a short walk from Hankyu Omiya Station. Even though it's a counter sushi restaurant in the back of an alley, there are no hurdles to overcome, and you can enjoy authentic Edomae sushi as if you were visiting a friend you can relate to.

Nigiri sushi starts from 300 yen. Be captivated by the beautiful sushi such as transparent kombu jime, gorgeous prawns, and horse mackerel seasoned with vinegar.

For the sushi, we select Kinumusume from Shimane Prefecture, which has a good taste and flakes well. By using red vinegar for sushi vinegar, the flavor of the toppings is brought out and the overall impression is mellow. ``Please feel free to tell us about the fish you're interested in and your preferences, such as wanting to eat tuna from start to finish and a variety of summery toppings,'' says Makoto in a soft-spoken manner.

Sardine roll 1000 yen. Wrap fresh sardines with crunchy vegetables such as cucumber and gari, and serve with ginger soy sauce.

In addition to having your sushi made right in front of you while you consult with them, those who would like to concentrate on talking with their companions can also order 8 pieces of sushi starting from 3,000 yen, or order an order that suits their budget. Wakako is in charge of the sake, which has more than 10 varieties on tap at any given time, and says, ``We both like sake, and we like sushi restaurants where we can order whatever we want.We aimed for a restaurant that we both want to go to.'' The knowledge gained from working in department store liquor departments and sake specialty stores, and the conversations that develop from his love for breweries, make regular customers happy.
