We’ve moved on to Kyoto but I wanted to give a mention to this great restaurant back in Naoshima. Our second night we tried the New Olympia, a tiny sushi restaurant. By small I mean 5 seats at the counter , two western style tables and one tatami mat table. WOW. Out of this world good. We chose the set meal which had six (small) courses. I forgot the first one, sashimi, grilled fish, broiled fish, sushi, soup. The types of fish and soup were whatever the chef chose.
Why name a Japanese restaurant in Japan Olympia? Same thing I wondered the next morning when I saw the name of the ferry. I’m guessing gods. Naoshima is dedicated to the gods (Shinto) as is Mt Olympus. Dunno.
Okay, now I’m jealous. Sushi in Japan. Enough said.
