Let’s get started by introducing the menu items we actually had at Natura, a Japanese restaurant and standing sushi restaurant!
① 5 pieces of chef’s choice
The first thing we ordered was sushi.
The omakase 5-piece set is the sushi assortment that the chef randomly selects for you. This is very reasonable at 550 yen (tax included) per person, one time only.
Natura’s nigiri sushi costs over 100 yen per piece at least, so you won’t go wrong no matter what topping you get.
It’s also a specialty of the restaurant, so be sure to order it before ordering a single sushi dish.
②Various sushi
As the name of the restaurant suggests, there is a wide variety of sushi available! In addition to the standard such as tuna and shrimp, the chefs will carefully prepare seasonal fish for you.
You can choose from salted or regular sauce for the conger eel, and they also offer seared and grilled toppings, so it’s hard to decide what to order.
You can also enjoy fresh tuna nigiri for only 250 yen (excluding tax) per piece, making it even more affordable than a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.
③Assortment of 3 kinds of sashimi
A sashimi assortment plate came after the sushi.
The sashimi selection varies depending on the day, so it’s fun to see what you get. There are also many condiments toppings, so be sure to try them all together.
④Japanese-style Yukhoe with Tuna and Avocado
This dish consists of tuna and avocado coated in a sweet and spicy sauce.
It’s delicious to eat as is, or rolled up with the Korean seaweed served on the side.
The rich flavor goes perfectly well with alcohol.
⑤Stewed Kinki
At Natura, a Japanese food and tachigui sushi restaurant, the fish dishes are delicious, so I ordered a stew of a high-class fish called “Kinki.”
Depending on the fish, you can choose to have it grilled or stewed.
⑥5 kinds of tempura assortment
After enjoying the fish fully, we also ordered the Japanese dish “tempura.”
“Japanese Cuisine and Tachigui Sushi Natura” has many menus that use vegetables, and the tempura was also mainly made with vegetables.
The tempura is served freshly fried, so be careful not to get burned.
⑦Inaniwa udon with sesame miso sauce
The last dish we ordered was Inaniwa udon.
Inaniwa udon is a local dish eaten in Akita Prefecture, Japan, and has thinner, chewier noodles than regular udon.
It was absolutely delicious when dipped in the flavorful sesame miso sauce!
⑧Hiroki Daiginjo
This is the sake we had with these dishes is made in Fukushima Prefecture.
Hiroki Daiginjo has a fruity aroma when you open the bottle. It was a perfect match with the sushi and sashimi!
