"Sushi Utou" is a restaurant located in Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, just a 5-minute walk from JR Ikebukuro Station's West Exit.
 The restaurant has 20 seats and exudes a calm atmosphere.
This establishment offers exquisite and carefully crafted dishes and nigiri sushi, all of which are highly praised for their deliciousness.
 The meticulousness of the work can be felt, bringing delight to the palate.
 The pairing with the Japanese sake "Utou" is also exceptional, allowing for an enjoyable experience together.
However, financially speaking, it is not a place one can frequently afford to visit, but it is a restaurant one would definitely want to revisit when wanting to indulge.
The chefs use ingredients that are particular to Aomori Prefecture, and this dedication can be felt throughout the restaurant.
 They manage to create an atmosphere that feels both new and reminiscent of high-class sushi, instilling a sense of anticipation.
However, there were some disappointing aspects.
 Dishes such as senbei-jiru (rice cracker soup) and a dish that cooked scallops and eggs together on a seashell failed to make a significant impact using Aomori's local ingredients.
 Additionally, some pieces of sushi had a slightly raw odor, making me wonder if there were issues with the preparation and storage of the ingredients.
In conclusion, "Sushi Utou" is a restaurant in Ikebukuro that offers elaborate dishes and delicious nigiri sushi.
 They use ingredients sourced from Aomori Prefecture, showcasing the skills of the chefs.
 However, some dishes may have a slight raw odor.
 I recommend paying a visit to experience it for yourself.
