"Loving it. The best Japanese dinner experience. 10000 yen per person definitely worth it.
The couple owns the store and are very friendly. Only serve like 5 groups of customers only give you the best experience.
The vibes are great. All customers are great. A lot of Kanpei with each other. Loving it, will come back"

"What an absolute delight this place was. We feel very fortunate to have experienced such an incredible sushi ‘hole-in-the-wall’ restaurant during our trip to Japan.
We were lucky that our friend, who had previously lived in Japan, had recommended this restaurant to us and was able to help book us into this gem of a place. We never would have discovered it otherwise.
As soon as walked in, the chef and his wife welcomed us enthusiastically. From then on, what a wonderful, happy and fun evening we had. It was a set surprise of sushi goodness and everything was just exquisite. The flavours, the quality of the sushi, honestly it was all top, top quality and so fresh. There was one sushi dish that was coupled with leek and the flavour was sensational. It was one of the best sushi experiences we’ve ever had.
For drinks, there was no wine so we warmly embraced the delicious Japanese sake. The chef was so so wonderful, we offered him to join us in our sake, which he was delighted with. Do the same if you go, it will make for a great, friendly atmosphere!
I agree with one of the other reviewers in saying that:
1) this felt like a dinner with friends more than anything else as the chef creates such an inviting, warm atmosphere and;
2) that the chef is incredibly considerate and kind. He always checked to see if we were comfortable eating what he was about to serve us and explained what it was.
To reiterate, one of the best sushi experiences of our lives. Highly recommend."

"Sushiryori Inose offers an unparalleled culinary journey in a cozy setting. This is where the locals go and with a cash-only, omakase experience, the husband and wife team curates a memorable meal of fresh, high-quality sushi and sashimi. Their attentive service and engaging demeanor enhance the dining experience, while a diverse selection of local seafood delights the palate. Indulge in over two hours of gastronomic bliss, featuring favorites like salmon roe, sea urchin, and chutoro, accompanied by sake and lively conversation. The dinner is exceptionally priced and would easily cost double or triple at other tourist locations.
Ensure that you book your reservation early as they frequently book up quickly. This experience was by far the culinary highlight of my 17 days in Japan. The food and the interaction with the chef and his wife far exceeded my expectations."
