Sushi that reflects on local food culture
The sushi rice of Aiji is made of local ingredients: the local brand rice "Koshihikari" is mixed with "Imagawa rice" made of matured sake from local "red rice". It is hard to find this vinegar even in Japan. It has a mildly sour taste.

Famous asazuke matches well with sushi
Usually sushi is served with "Gari" which is sweet-vinegared ginger. In Aiji, however, asazuke is served instead. It contains simple vinegared vegetables with fragrant herbs. In fact, it is a specialty of this restaurant that goes well with both sushi and with drinks.
