Takashima -Sushi@Numazu- Izu Gourmet Guide

Takashima is near Numazu port amoung many other sushi restaurants.
From the outside it doesn't look very impressive but it has a nice atmosphere inside.
We went at 2:00pm to avoid the crowds and managed to get a seat at the counter.
We asked for the days specials and were told they were written on the whiteboard.
They offer set menus ranging in price from 1,000 yen and sushi menus starting at 1,500 yen which is very reasonable.
There were no prices written for the toro or fatty tuna and tamago yaki but we felt they would be reasonable as well.

We ordered vinegared chub mackeral, amberjack cutlass fish and tuna at first.
The mackeral was nice but could have had a stronger vinegar flavour.
My companion doesn't usually like this dish but when I suggested they try it they were pleasantly suprised.

The cutless fish was suprisingly thick with an excellent texture.Our next sushi was horse mackeral, sea urchin and deep sea shrimp.
The horse mackeral tasted like it was swiming only minutes before and was my favorite so far and made me think that it was the reason why we came to Takashima that day.
The seaurchin was sweet condensed and without any fishy smell.
It was excellent.

We ordered both boiled and raw shrimp.
The boiled shrimp was very large and you couldn't see the rice under it. The raw shrimp was also very large and delicious and made me feel happy to be able to eat such nice fresh food.
The last sushi we had was conga sushi.
I had read on the internet that if you go to Takashima you must have the conga so I decided to eat it last.
After trying it I think that people's opinion of it would probably be divided.
The sauce is very rich and strong which some might think overpowers the flavour of the fish whereas others would probably love it.
In conclusion Takashima sushi is probably most suited for women who can enjoy many pieces of sushi without getting full up due to the small rice size.
It offers excellent value for money even though ordering the sushi individually is more expensive than having a set menu.
The interior decor is quite old so it's probably not the best place for a first date but the sushi itself is excellent.
