Our luck in eating out hasn't been much good recently. In fact, I guess I'm starting to get a bit ornery about the whole thing. So the Missus decided it was time for an intervention. And She chose just the right place……Sushi Tadokoro.
What follows are mostly just photos….I've posted on the place enough already.
The sashimi was just perfect, the amaebi were just delivered as we sat. The heads were still moving the entire time we ate our sashimi. Some may find this somewhat disconcerting. We saw this as a mark of freshness. The engawa was a favorite of the Missus.
We always get something a bit different on every visit. This time it was the Kamasu – barracuda, which was seared to develop the wonderful oils.
The Iwashi (Sardine) was especially rich.
Like I've said before….getting this is not difficult. The Itamae has to be comfortable and familiar with your tastes and even budget. Your responsibility is to be an open-minded customer. After a couple of visits, he, and you have an unspoken understanding…..

Gotta say last time I’ve been there (my 3rd) had a great omakase as usual but was a little disappointed at the price I paid. I ended up paying just as much as a single diner with my last time at kaito with my wife. same beer and otokayama at each.
I’m sure ill be back, and unknown it depends on the fish you have but not sure if you’ve noticed a hike in prices as well.
Yum! Still haven’t tried this place. What is the item after the oysters?
Hi Rob – Not really. In fact, we spent less this time around…..so I’ll keep my eye on that next time.
Hi Sandy – Take-san’s wife made some fish cake that day, so we got some. It was delish!
Oh that all looks so good right now . What is the third picture of? Is it fried calamari steak ?
Everything looks so good. I can’t wait to eat here. You end with ice cream?
Hi Faye – Yake-san’s wife made fish cake….it was delish.
Hi TFD – He brought that over to us at the end of the meal. Black Sesame Ice Cream.
I’m so glad you finally had a good meal without having to cook it yourself. Hate those ruts. Everything looks very fresh.
Hi Cathy – Yes, this was a nice break. We’ve never been disappointed at Tadokoro.
