Message: | I've been going for 20 years, have never tried the foie gras as I like the An-kimo and would rather have goose products in another setting. I have never done the omakase with Shige. There was an under-chef there who liked me and I trusted and did the justsitdownandeat thing. If Shige doesn't know you, it's unlikely he'll take the time since he doesn't know your habits. I recommend, when they have them, the naka-ochi toro roll (toro from 'twixt the bones), the chawan mushi is very good there, the butterfish (black cod broiled after sake marination), and in the fall, they have matsudake-shiro (Pine mushroom soup). Tsukasa does that beautifully though, if you go there, be sure to get it.
