Hikarimono

Kan Sato, known affectionately as ‘Satokan-san’, loves hikarimono (literally ‘shining thing’: fish with silver skin, sliced with the skin left on), hence the shop’s name. The menu is composed with drinkers in mind, so this hikarimono is never left off. Sato’s offering of three courses—sushi and bar snacks, mainly nigiri, and bar snacks—as well as à la carte is pleasing. Hikarimaki of pilchard, shredded dried plum and bettarazuke (daikon pickled in salted rice malt) is famous. Sato’s aim is to offer a sushi shop where people drop in casually. The value for money truly shines.
