On the whole, though, this boxy, claustrophobic room crowded with narrow tables is a lot more like a real restaurant in Japan than Sushi Nozawa down the street. (To make the experience even a bit too authentic, brothers Shunji and Tetsu Nakao have nearly doubled their prices since they opened Asanebo several years back.) One of the most spectacular dishes here is hirame usuzukuri, wafer-thin slices of halibut fanned out on your plate like flower petals, each kissed with grated yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit with an appealing lemon-lime flavor. Two quite everyday dishes, by Japanese pub standards, are also expertly handled. One is salmon skin roll, a crunchy cone of fried fish skin and nori seaweed filled with sweet smoked salmon and more fatty skin, and the other is egg zosui, a simple egg rice soup that Japanese men like to slurp up at the end of a long pub evening, in no small part to prevent hangovers.
