Chef"Craftsman Paving the Future of Sushi: Second Generation Kuruma Sushi, Koji Takahira"
The second generation of "Kurumasushi," which was founded in Matsuyama in 1976. From a young age, he aspired to be a sushi chef and moved to Tokyo after graduating from high school. He spent eight years training in Tokyo, honing his skills in Edomae sushi. In 2016, he returned home, wanting to "make sushi in a place where the ingredients are alive." After taking over his father's restaurant, he earned two stars in the "Michelin Guide Hiroshima & Ehime 2018 Special Edition" at the young age of 27. Focusing on his hometown of Ehime, he creates omakase courses centered around local fish from Shikoku, ranging from the Seto Inland Sea to the Pacific side.
Food Sushi Pursuing the Ideal Flavor with On-Site Nerve Tightening and Blood Draining Techniques
"To provide delicious fish, it's not just about the work in the kitchen." Takahira, who primarily handles fish from nearby fishing grounds, sometimes performs procedures such as nerve pinning and blood removal himself on-site. When aging fish in the restaurant, he meticulously calculates the temperature and time to bring out not only the umami components but also the aroma of the flesh. Aiming to realize his ideal that "sushi is a multiplication of flavors," he strives to create sushi that elevates the complex umami of the fish.
Space"Cozy Counter Seats Adorned with the Essence of Japanese Culture"
The interior, designed with a tea room motif and equipped with a tea bowl shelf and a bamboo mat, exudes a dignified atmosphere. A single flower vase hanging on the wall catches the eye of visitors. Additionally, the brand-new Yoshino cypress counter and the woven ceiling made of Yoshino cedar give a warm impression to guests. The interactions between Mr. Takahira and the first generation, who still stands in the kitchen, create a heartwarming scene just to observe. Sushi lovers from not only the local area but from all over the country gather at this counter, seeking the exquisite flavors of sushi that Mr. Takahira meticulously crafts.
