About this place
Would you choose one style of yellowtail, or try several preparations side by side? The Buri Five-Item Assortment brings together buri toro, buri, buri tempura, buri tekka and buri tataki on one plate. Tempura, a roll and tataki join the nigiri, making this a good way to explore how the same fish can taste in different forms.
One diner recommends the assortment, saying it is consistently delicious. Another remarks on the generous size of the toppings and how satisfying they are, while finding the rice portions small and just right. That balance also makes it appealing to start with one platter and then add more of the pieces you like best.
For fish from Hokuriku, the Hokuriku Five-Item Assortment combines gasu ebi, baigai, firefly squid, nodoguro and white shrimp. It is an easy way to sample a range of ingredients on one plate rather than choosing each piece individually. If you would rather narrow the choice to shrimp, the menu also lists a Hokuriku Shrimp Three-Item Assortment with raw ama ebi, Toyama white shrimp and gasu ebi.
There are plenty of other choices, too: tuna ranges from akami to chutoro, while salmon options include fresh salmon and onion fresh salmon. Hand rolls with plum or natto make a light bite; chawanmushi, a savoury steamed egg custard, can round out a sushi meal.
Some diners have enjoyed seeing their order arrive across the conveyor belt aboard a Shinkansen-shaped train. With counter seating as well as the familiar revolving-sushi format, the restaurant can suit a solo meal or a dinner where several people choose their own plates. The payment information states that only cash is accepted, so it is wise to bring cash when you visit.
