Is Narikura run by the apprentice as good as the old Narikura? Is it still worth going? Probably the most common question I get. The TL;DR - Narikura run by the apprentice is as good as the original Narikura was on an average day. Panko is marginally less light/flakey and the pork is good but not as premium quailty. Given the price point and the much shorter lines, I still recommend a visit. More on the differences in menu and flavour between the two Narikura’s up on my blog 🔼 Link in profile 🔼

Did you know that there are there are now two Narikuras. One in a new location run by the OG chef Mitani-san, and one in the original location run by his apprentice. More on the differences in menu and flavour between the two Narikura’s up on my blog 🔼 Link in profile 🔼

All this results in Sushidokoro Mekumi being one of the best sushi experiences I’ve ever had, as good if not better than some of the top tier sushi restaurants in Tokyo. Full thoughts and review on Mekumi up on my blog 🔼 Link in profile 🔼 Shirako (Milt) | 白子
