MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Mackerel sugatazushi (a whole mackerel sliced up into sushi) is a staple of Kyoto sushi. The traditional flavours here, inherited from the founder, are now in the hands of the third-generation owner-chef. To ensure agreement with the toppings, the sushi rice is cooked in dashi for added flavour. The sushi pressed in a box comes with salted white fish or hamo teriyaki. In the summer, hamo sugatazushi is a sought-after dish here, as is steamed sushi in winter.
