Issai - Japan

Located near Okama station, this small restaurant has no tables, only a counter where you can enjoy delicious fish at a reasonable price. While it may be cheaper than a regular sushi bar, it is still more expensive compared to an izakaya that mainly serves sashimi. The sushi chef may not speak much English, but you can rely on other diners for guidance. The menu is limited and does not change often, but the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable for a casual meal without feeling like you are in a traditional sushi restaurant.
