Waga Sushi

The crisp texture of flounder and the balance of its kelp curing speak to the care that goes into each piece. At Waga Sushi, the evening is shaped around sushi that brings out the character of the fish. Diners describe it as a place that serves seasonal fish in ways that suit each variety. Some mention starting with striped jack, while others comment on the red-vinegar rice; it is a meal to enjoy one piece at a time, with an eye on both the ingredients and the craft.

One account of dinner describes an omakase meal that moved from simmered dishes to sashimi, sushi and soup. The aged sashimi was rich in flavour, with each course making a distinct impression. The restaurant was said to ask about requests to suit diners’ appetites, a useful detail for anyone who wants to discuss portion size as the meal progresses. One diner also singled out the simmered squid, rather than only the sushi. Nameko mushroom soup and kanpyo rolls appear among the menu options, offering ideas for a final dish or an extra bite.

Waga Sushi is described as a small, counter-focused restaurant, suited to a quiet dinner. Reservations are available, and booking ahead is recommended for dinner, so it is worth securing a seat before you go.
