ChefMr. Mitsuaki Tamura - Mastering His Sushi Path Through Effort and Belief
Born in 1970 in Otaru City, Hokkaido, and raised in Sapporo City. After dropping out of university, I left my hometown and moved to Tokyo. I worked part-time in the dishwashing area of a popular sushi restaurant. It was during my promotion to a full-time employee that I discovered the charm of sushi. After honing my skills for six years at the renowned Edomae sushi restaurant "Sushi Hisashi," I returned to Hokkaido. At the age of 32, I opened "Sushi Sai Waki Chi." After renovations in 2007, I adopted the current style of offering only omakase. I received two stars in the 2012 edition of the Michelin Guide Hokkaido and have maintained this rating for seven consecutive years since then.
SpaceA Culinary Space Exuding Gentle Elegance While Maintaining a Dignified Presence
From the exterior that exudes the dignified charm of a long-established establishment, stepping inside reveals a culinary space that is both refined and somehow comforting, imbued with gentle elegance. The interior consists of only eight counter seats. The simple decor, stripped of unnecessary embellishments, along with carefully selected tableware such as Bizen and Kaga ceramics, enhances the deliciousness of the sushi even further. The luxurious time spent in this elegant and tranquil atmosphere is particularly suitable for special occasions such as anniversaries and business meetings.
Food "Shari Made with Two Types of Red Vinegar Harmoniously Blends with the Topping"
One of the charms of the sushi at "Sushi Saiwa Kichi" is the rice made with two types of red vinegar. While enhancing the seasonal ingredients, the rice maintains its individuality, seamlessly integrating with the carefully selected toppings. From the moment it touches your mouth, the subtle aroma of the toppings and the exquisite texture of the rice that gently falls apart, along with the artisan's skill in balancing the flavors, shine through in each piece. I want to savor each piece, crafted with meticulous care and dedication, without skimping on time and effort.
Elevating "Hokkaido's Bounty" into exquisite sushi with meticulous craftsmanship. Experience the essence of Edomae sushi right here in Sapporo.
Surrounded by magnificent nature, Hokkaido is often referred to as a "treasure trove of gourmet food." In the Sapporo area, known for its fierce sushi competition, you'll find "Sushi Sai Wakichi," a h...idden gem with a welcoming noren (curtain). This renowned establishment is well-known among food enthusiasts.
In a space that exudes elegance and traditional Japanese charm, Chef Tamura, who honed his skills at a famous Edomae sushi restaurant, prepares exquisite sushi. He uses seasonal ingredients sourced from across the country, not just local fish, and adds a touch of creativity to each piece. Experience the true essence of Edomae sushi in this northern paradise.
