Nadaman is famous for kaiseki, but today we came for their sushi restaurant.
The Japanese restaurant group Nadaman なだ万 has been treating discerning diners to the finest kaiseki cuisine since 1830. Nadaman is like the McD of the fine dining world, with kaiseki restaurants all around Japan and the world.

No surprises, no mistake as well. The ten pieces of nigiri sushi were all legit and well paced. For ¥10,000, this was not exactly cheap but Nadaman gives you a very high quality but common sushi course. Anything more exotic, you would need to go to a proper sushiya.
Ayu shioyaki 鮎 塩焼き is often a popular street snack, served at festivals or at little shacks serving hungry hikers on popular trails. Ayu signifies the arrival of summer, I never pass up an opportunity to eat it. And strangely its stomach and innards are only clean enough to eat in summer. This was almost the end of summer, so the fish was a bit to skinny and small. I guessed all the big ones were all eaten up.
Now that I have tried, I would not miss too. The sushi was just average, the shari was too crumbly, and the shoyu was run-of-the-mill soy sauce without any further customisation by the restaurant. At this price range I would go to Sushi Nagomi, but they have the advantage of location inside the Hyatt Regency.
