At The Impression, you can experience a classy sushi meal without breaking the bank. The restaurant has a glowing hinoki-timber interior, the shelves are stacked with refined lacquer boxes and the immaculate-looking chefs execute each piece of sushi with precision and subtlety.
The omakase sets come in ¥4,500, ¥5,500 and ¥7,000 options, and offer a creative selection of seasonal seafood, such as kinmedai (golden eye snapper) rubbed with sudachi lime, lightly torched sawara (Spanish mackerel) topped with pink salt, zuke-maguro (tuna marinated in soy sauce and mirin) and an elegant lacquer bowl of uni topped with salmon roe. If you notice the sushi rice looks and tastes a little different, you’re right: the chefs use akazu (red rice vinegar), reminiscent of the sushi served during the Edo period, which is a little earthier in flavour.
