"Wanting to try an authentic Kyoto dish? Izuu has got you covered, serving some of the best traditional Kyoto-style sushi in Higashiyama. Saba sugata zushi and mackerel sushi are two of the favorites here."

"The taste and flavour of kelp will go into the meat of mackerel. The various flavour of kelp and rice vinegar, taste of fatty mackerel and kelp Umami, and texture of the thick mackerel will show the nice harmony of the Shime Saba zushi."
