After a holiday in France gorging ourselves with sublime but heavy food, it was a pleasure and a relief to visit our favorite sushi restaurant in Shizuoka City, namely Sushi Ko, although we ended eating more than planned! LOL
Today’s o-toshi was whelk shellfish in wasabi dressing!
The sake of the month was a Junmai ginjo by Kokko Brewery in Fukuroi City!
Sublime!
Plenty of local sashimi to choose from!
Kuchimidai/口美鯛 (also called Menada/目奈陀・目魚): haarder, redlip mullet
Tastes like seabream with the bit of sole flesh!
The sushi millefeuille of the day!
Ika soumen/cuttlefish/squid served sliced as thin as noodles!
Akaika/赤烏賊: red squid from Suruga bay!
And its tentacles served in karaage/deep-fried style!
Sanma/秋刀魚、青串魚: mackerel pike is in season!
Best served grilled!
Maguro zuke/marinated nigiri!
Sakura/Horsemeat nigiri!
Botan ebi/large sweet prawn with their eggs! Very difficult to obtain as such!
The heads of the same served deep-fried!
Ikura ko- donburi!
Negitoro maki!
Anakyu maki/cucumber and broiled conger eel!
Shiro ebi/white shrimp gunkan!
An international dish: Scallops and shrimps gratin!
Mushiyaki!
And miso shiru to finish!
