MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
‘Sai’ is the character for ‘dish’ in Chinese; the characters for ‘colourful’ and ‘individuality’ are also pronounced ‘sai’ in Japanese – Chef Miyata combines all three ideas. For his famous Cantonese cuisine, he sources seafood from Miyazaki and Nagasaki prefectures. Mainstay offerings include sashimi salad and steamed whole fish. The homemade dim sum includes some surprising items, such as seafood gyoza of walleye pollack roe, potherb mustard, and steamed pork dumplings stuffed with tomatoes.

MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
This Edomae sushi restaurant offers both individually ordered items and omakase. The second-generation owner-chef, having learned his skills from his predecessor, holds court behind the counter with his son. For first-timers, we recommend the Edomae Nigiri: 10 nigiri with elaborate toppings such as zuke-maguro, gizzard shad seasoned with vinegar and salt, and anago coated in nitsume. Kanpyo and tekkamaki (tuna roll) make a fitting end to your meal. Enjoy sushi in this old-time Tokyo setting.
