ChefShinji Nishikawa - A Craftsman Committed to Sushi from "Nagoya Front"

The owner, Mr. Nishikawa, trained in sushi-making in his hometown of Aichi. This is why he focuses on seasonal fish from the local Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay, building his omakase course around relationships with wholesalers who handle these ingredients. "I want to provide sushi that can only be made in Nagoya, not the flavors you can find in Tokyo." This is Mr. Nishikawa's philosophy. He uses local ingredients such as kuruma shrimp from Mikawa Isshiki, stone sea bream from Mie, and fatty tuna sourced from Nagoya vendors rather than Toyosu or Tsukiji. His commitment to local produce makes him a true embodiment of "Nagoya-style sushi."

Food "Creating Fun Variations of Local Seasonal Fish for Sushi"

The seasonal fish caught in Mikawa Bay and Ise Bay are served with various creative techniques. A tea kettle, which sits prominently in the center of the counter, is used when preparing sweet shrimp. Two shrimp are placed in the kettle at the same time; one is quickly removed and chilled on ice, while the other is left at the mouth of the kettle to be cooked with steam and residual heat. This allows diners to enjoy both rare and boiled sweet shrimp. The flavors of these ingredients are well complemented by the sushi rice, which is seasoned with red vinegar, black vinegar, rice vinegar, and coarse salt.

Space"An Interior Design Curated by the Shop Owner, Showcasing Japan's Traditional Beauty"

The performance of cooking shrimp in a tea kettle is a reflection of the spirit of the owner, Mr. Nishikawa, who holds deep respect and affection for Japanese traditions. This sentiment can be felt in other aspects of the establishment as well. The sushi serving platform, which is changed between winter and summer, is made of pottery called "Echizen Karatsu." It is a piece crafted by artisans of Echizen pottery in Fukui using clay from Karatsu in Saga, and it is a product that Mr. Nishikawa is particularly particular about. Additionally, the counter made from a single piece of cypress wood and the traditional earthen walls throughout the restaurant showcase the owner's profound understanding of Japanese culture.
