【Tokyo Recommendations】Try the Midori flagship store to see if it can be better than the Hong Kong branch.

As far as chain sushi restaurants go, Midori👆🏻 is probably one of the more famous ones, aside from the Tuna Belly King, and it's really good😋. There are several branches in Hong Kong~~ When I came to Tokyo🗼, I made up my mind with my boss to go to the flagship store to see if it's as good as the branch, or if the flagship store's halo😇 always makes it taste better?🤣 As soon as we arrived, OK, we had to queue🤦🏻. Actually, it was just after opening, 📣‼️ I suggest everyone arrive 15 to 20 minutes before opening to queue at the door, so you should be able to get in on the first round.‼️📣 Once inside, the chefs👨🏻🍳 were already very enthusiastic in welcoming us in Japanese, and the waiters were also very attentive in explaining to us that ‼️the black plate in front is for the chef's use, and for the sushi🍣 ordered à la carte, the chef will place each piece on the long black plate for us to eat,‼️ reminding us not to mess with the plate, otherwise the chef would be unhappy.🤣‼️ We ordered a lot of food, but we also deliberately chose some items that are available in Hong Kong, because we wanted to compare how much better the flagship store in Japan is.😆 We ordered seaweed miso soup🥣, crab meat and crab paste salad🥗, shellfish🐚 Combo, tuna🐟 Combo, green onion tuna belly rice roll, and many individual sushi pieces🍣. Let's talk about the seaweed miso soup first. In Hong Kong, red👹 miso is commonly used, but for some reason, white⚪️ miso is used in Japan, and I feel that the one in Hong Kong tastes better. As for the crab meat and crab paste salad🥗, shellfish🐚 Combo, and tuna🐟 Combo, Hong Kong really can't compare. It's not that Hong Kong isn't delicious, it's already very good, but the flagship store is on a higher🆙🆙 level of deliciousness. While eating, the boss, being naughty, tried to move the tuna from the wooden plate to the long black plate to make it easier for himself to pick up, and immediately the chef looked at him👀, creating a lot of pressure. Remember, the long black plate is not for our convenience in eating sushi🍱, it's a kind of persistence by the Japanese chefs✊, and as guests, we should respect the Japanese culture.🛎️
