Sushi Momonoki

I went shopping at Kyoto Station today, and on the way home I wanted to eat sushi, so I decided to go to Kyoto Sushi Momonoki, a newly opened restaurant, for dinner.
It was painful when I arrived and it was full, so I called and asked after securing a seat.
It's exciting to see a shiny new store on B1 of the eye-catching pink building just up the underpass, still decorated with celebratory phalaenopsis orchids.

This sushi is said to have been supervised by Michelin-starred ``Akasaka no Momoki'', and between the nigiri bites you can see the Chinese food.

The counter was neat and clean, and there were about three tables.
When I got to the special seat in front of the dressing room, I faced the general and was in a good mood.
This time, we will choose the opening commemorative course and toast with draft beer and enjoy the appetizers of mapo eggplant, Chinese jellyfish, and drool chicken.
Chinese food at the counter of a sushi restaurant is so refreshing!
Everything was finished with a gentle taste so as not to interfere with the sushi.

The nigiri starts with flounder, and the deliciousness of the toppings is accentuated by the seared black roe and rosé shari, which is made with the best of red and white vinegar.
I was also happy that it was easy for women to pick.

What I liked was the shark fin chawanmushi, which I thought had a strong Chinese flavor, but the taste of the elegant chawanmushi was well-balanced and contained plenty of juicy shark fin, making it worth the price alone.

The shrimp kadaif roll at the end was delicious.
Because it is freshly rolled, the kadaif is crispy and the mayonnaise sauce is exquisite.
This is a recommended dish that you must try when you come here.
It's great that you can casually enjoy sushi for dinner with a great value course to commemorate the opening.
I enjoyed the fusion of fun Chinese food and sushi.

Today I went to check out the rumor that Tokyo Akasaka Momonoki, which has been awarded a Michelin star for 8 consecutive years, has opened a sushi restaurant in Kyoto 🍣

I was wondering what it would be like for a Chinese restaurant to serve sushi, but the sushi restaurant was level 99☺️LOL

What I received was the opening commemorative course.

Appetizers include Anno sweet potato and mushrooms with white dressing, figs and kelp in vinegar, and komatsuna? Soaking ☺️
Anno sweet potato is so sweet that it's the best. The figs were also delicious.
The tableware is also stylish and good.

The structure is
It was Spanish mackerel 😊 Since it was Spanish mackerel in the winter, it wasn't greasy and I was able to fully enjoy the sticky flavor that is unique to Spanish mackerel ☺️

grip
Sword-tipped squid from Noto → The sticky flavor and fluffy rice go very well together. It's decorated with yuzu peel and has a nice scent.

Flounder from Awaji → The subtle sweetness and soft texture match ☺️

Hokkaido-produced hokki shellfish → The hidden knife is hidden inside so it's easy to eat! It clings to the sushi rice tenderly, and when you put it in your mouth, you can enjoy the distant scent of the ocean that is unique to shellfish.

Horse mackerel from Chiba → This was the most delicious horse mackerel ever 😋
It's a luxury fish that you wouldn't think of as a popular fish. lol I thought it was the Toro of the blue fish world. It doesn't have a grassy smell, and the green onions on top do a lot of work.

How much is a small bowl → I don't need an explanation like this. The ultimate luxurious meal made with generous amounts of Hokkaido salmon roe. The salmon roe has just the right amount of soy sauce, and the cheap salmon roe is marinated in too much soy sauce, giving it a soybean taste! It doesn't feel like that at all. Very good impression ☺️

Shirako and Isobe Chawanmushi → Chawanmushi is super delicious! ! ! Shirako and Isobe? ? ! Savory egg custard? I've had so many forbidden encounters that I feel bad about eating them and losing them.

Natural tuna fatty tuna from Miyagi → This was so delicious that all I could feel was the consistent deliciousness😋.

Lean tuna (from around here they no longer tell me where it comes from. LOL) → Even though it's lean, it doesn't have any sourness, just the deliciousness of tuna 😋

Japanese Spanish mackerel → Spanish mackerel at this time of year has a lot of water content and is quite tough, but it has a firm and thick texture that goes well with sushi 🍣○

Grilled yellowtail → This is something I definitely want to eat during the season ☺️ Lightly grilled, it doesn't have a heavy greasy texture, making it a perfect sushi! Extremely cool! !

Eel → This is dangerous. You can drink it! ! There are no small bones and the result is a well-crafted piece.

The sweetness was so delicious that it was almost like pudding! I want to eat it every day ☺️,

A soup made with Hanabiratake mushrooms and wakame → Sudachi is great for refreshing your palate. While sipping, it was such a relaxing moment that I remembered that it was almost plum kombucha season.

Milk pudding → Personally, this is my favorite in the dessert world. But it tastes even better. The pudding concludes the story that begins with the appetizer and ends with the soup.

At the end, they will prepare the top ✋

It was delicious! If I want to have luxury again, I will go there 🤤

I used it when I stopped by Kyoto for work.
The store is located in the basement of a building about a 3-minute walk from Kyoto Station, and when you enter the store, you are greeted by a great atmosphere.

There are private rooms inside the store, which can be used for various occasions such as entertaining or dating.

On this day, we received a special course to commemorate the opening.

Almond tofu

Every dish was made with special care, but the nigiri was especially delicious!
They seem to be very particular about everything from purchasing to preparation, and the food is delicious the moment you eat it! I understand!

The staff's customer service was also very polite, and by the time I finished eating, I was thinking, "Ah, I really enjoyed the sushi." lol
(I was very satisfied with both the volume and quality)

It seems like they also serve lunch, so I would like to use it again!
