仕事や会議で疲れて、仲間と「寿司へ行こう!」と。
そこで、戸倉上山田温泉の素晴らしいところが見えます。
亀清旅館の玄関から出て、歩いて2分に「鮨平」という寿司屋さんがあります。
回転寿司やらコンビでも、寿司はどこでも買える。
しかし、寿司屋さんで食べるのはまた違うのだ。
日本代表が出来る「寿司」。戸倉上山田は温泉タウンだからこそ、温泉街で寿司屋さんがある。
だから温泉タウン戸倉上山田は「クールジャパン」である。
After a busy day of meetings and flipping futons, I went out for an energizing dinner of sushi with a buddy.
This is where onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada shows how fantastic it is. We stepped outside of Kamesei Ryokan, and only had to walk 2 minutes until we reached our local sushi shop "Sushihei".
Even with there being revolving sushi restaurants and even convenience stores here selling sushi, still sushi shops are a breed apart. Sitting at the counter and having the chef prepare the sushi right there in front of you, while enjoying a good beer along with the light-hearted banter with the chef, this is what sushi is all about.
And just a 2-minute walk from our inn.
This why I call our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada "Cool Japan".
Hirabayashi-san, the baldest, funniest sushi chef ever!
