One diner described the shari—the vinegared rice beneath the fish—as light and fluffy, with restrained seasoning that let the ingredients’ flavours come through. Another visitor remembered the small size of the rice portions. The compact nigiri makes it easy to savour each piece before moving on to the next topping.

Diners who chose a course said they enjoyed both the nigiri and the accompanying small dishes, and left feeling well fed. One family reported choosing a set of 11 pieces and enjoying the meal while the dishes were explained to them. Sashimi assortments, chawanmushi, shiokara and kanpyō were also mentioned, offering the option of adding small dishes alongside a focus on nigiri.

For something to enjoy later, visitors have also mentioned takeaway inari sushi and special chirashi sushi ordered in advance. The Kichijoji Minamicho restaurant serves dinner, and reservations are recommended.
