About this place
The conger eel nigiri may tempt you to order one more piece. One visitor to Karashishi singled out a nigiri made with a whole conger eel, recalling how tenderly the flesh seemed to melt in the mouth. The menu also lists eel, toro, salmon roe and sea urchin. You can build a selection from the nigiri that catch your eye, or start with the regular assorted nigiri, listed at 1,300 yen.
Rolls offer another way to make a meal of your order, rather than choosing nigiri one piece at a time. One visitor recalled pairing kanpyō rolls, filled with sweet simmered gourd, with chilled sake, then finishing with squid-tentacle nigiri. Along with kanpyō, the menu includes anago-kyū and toro-tekka rolls, as well as hand rolls with toro—options for anything from a light bite to the final part of a meal.
Geso wasabi, grilled squid tentacles with salt, and a sashimi assortment are among the options if you’d like to order a few dishes alongside a drink. A diner who tried the geso wasabi said its wasabi had a strong kick and was addictive. Chilled sake is listed at 300 yen, and beer and shochu are also available. You can focus on nigiri or enjoy a mix of snacks and drinks.
One visitor reported that orders were written on paper, and the restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining. Opening hours are 15:00 to 19:30, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
