Tokyo @ Shinagawa - I was brought to this quaint sushi restaurant is near Shinagawa station and down a small alley. Sitting at the sushi counter has the advantages of seeing the master sushi chef owner in action and he spoke English too.
This delicious sashimi set includes fresh squid, shrimp, tuna, red seabird, razor clam and cuttlefish
After finishing my glass of beer and the cup of hot Sake, another cup of similar Sake was poured. The sushi continues....
After another round of Sake this Miso clamps soup was badly needed to stop my tipsy. It was a very good and delicious dinner.

| Hot Sake with Dried Puffer Fish Fins (Hire-Sake) |
Hire-Sake is heated sake with a blowfish fin added to it. They take these fins, grill it, and then add them to piping hot sake that is served in a cup with a lid. Heating is the key, because the fin itself needs to really steep in the sake. Thus the lid, which you should leave on for two or three minutes after you have been served. The result is a super savory flavor that is extremely addictive.
