All otsumami were tasty. Botan ebi was unbelievably sweet. While raw shrimp is always creamy, soft and somewhat sweet, I've never had it like this. Nishin was another standout. Ankimo narazuke was exactly what I expected in an ankimo narazuke all along, and I could comfortably eat this by the spoonful. Unfortunately, chef ran out of add ons (shiro amadai) as it was the last seating, so I asked for tsubugai.

By the way, can anyone comment on how Omakase availability works? Is it restaurant specific? Do I need visit history? As an example, I can see Sazenka and Sawada available + blank calendar on a Japan number. But on a int. number I have seen a Sawada calendar spot while scrolling randomly, no Sazenka. Seems my findings are inconsistent with what's been mentioned in various posts.
