ChefToshisuke Takaoka - Facing Sushi in Namba with Sincerity

Born in Tokyo in 1988. While working at a fish shop in my teens, I was introduced by an acquaintance to join "Sushi Nanba" in Ogikubo in 2007, where I began my training as an apprentice sushi chef. Since then, I have dedicated myself solely to honing my skills at this establishment. The restaurant moved to Asagaya in 2011, and in March 2018, the head chef, Eiji Nanba, transferred to a location in Hibiya, entrusting me with the kitchen at the Asagaya branch. After 11 years since encountering this restaurant, the young head chef who upholds the legacy of this renowned establishment embodies the very spirit of "Sushi Nanba."

Food "An Unmatched Harmony Born from the Embrace of Relics and Seeds"

The characteristic of the nigiri at "Sushi Nanba" is that the rice (shari) is carefully considered in terms of hardness, viscosity, sweetness, saltiness, and richness, while the toppings (neta) are meticulously cut, with great attention paid to their size and thickness. Both the rice and the toppings are subjected to thorough temperature control, with each piece served in the omakase course having a different temperature setting. For example, the red snapper has rice at 38°C and topping at 25°C, while the eel has rice at 40°C and topping at 42°C, creating a harmonious balance that enhances each other. Here, you can experience nigiri that even sushi connoisseurs will rave about.

Space"A Relaxing Space with the Serene Expression of Sukiya-zukuri"

Against the backdrop of a heavy ice room, the chefs in the kitchen move briskly. Amidst this, the warm impression given by the pale green walls eases the tension and allows for a leisurely enjoyment of food and drink. The solid hinoki wood counter has a total of 12 seats, and it is delightful to be able to enjoy refined conversations and delicate gestures overflowing with the hospitality of the young head chef, Mr. Takaoka, while sipping a drink. This space can certainly be said to provide ample insight into the reasons why reservations for this restaurant are so difficult to secure.
