ChefMr. Takayoshi Yamaguchi - A Solitary Craftsman Continuing to Aim for Greater Heights
Born in 1972, from Yamanaka Onsen in Ishikawa Prefecture. He was born into a family of lacquerware artisans. After nine years of training at the long-established restaurant "Hokake" in Ginza, he worked at various sushi restaurants in Tokyo before opening "Sushi-dokoro Mekumi" in Nonoichi City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Although the location is not particularly favorable, sushi enthusiasts from all over the country now visit to experience Mr. Yamaguchi's extraordinary passion for sushi. He earned two stars in the "Michelin Guide Toyama/Ishikawa (Kanazawa) 2016 Special Edition" and is a skilled chef who also won the Bronze Award at the 3rd Culinary Masters.
Space"A Space Designed with Only Authentic Materials: Simple Yet Elegant"
Ishikawa Prefecture, Nonoichi City. About a 10-minute taxi ride from the station. In a residential area that makes you doubt if such a place exists, you will find "Sushi-dokoro Mekumi." The restaurant was renovated a few years ago, and the counter is made from a single slab of hinoki wood with a straight grain. The walls are a mixture of diatomaceous earth and Noto soil, and there is no compromise in the tools and dishes used. It is a space that is simply yet elegantly designed with authentic materials. The profound knowledge of fish that Yamaguchi Naoki shares so effortlessly is likely the reason fans come from all over the country to visit.
Food "Leveraging Local Advantages: The Unique Evolution of 'Noto-mae Sushi'"
Always seeking the finest ingredients, I drive round trip about 100 km to Noto and Nanao Port every morning. The rice is a blend of "Sasa Nishiki" and "Sasa Shigure" to bring out the natural flavor of the rice. While the traditional Edo-style sushi typically uses a method called "yudaki," where the rice is cooked in hot water, here we have adopted a unique cooking method that improves upon its drawbacks. We use two types of boiled soy sauce, depending on the type of fish. Through meticulous research into the proteins in fish and the starch in rice, we have successfully realized Noto-style sushi.
Noto-mae Nigiri: The Ultimate Sushi Pursued and Refined by a Renowned Restaurant in Hokuriku
In Nonoi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, you'll find "Sushi-dokoro Mekumi," a hidden gem that attracts sushi enthusiasts from all over the country. The owner, Naoyuki Yamaguchi, makes a two-hour trip every... morning to Noto's Nanao Port to source fresh ingredients, and as soon as he returns, he meticulously prepares them. The sushi here, inspired by the local Noto region rather than traditional Edomae, offers an exceptional taste with almost no off-flavors. Yamaguchi's dedicated and stoic approach to sushi continues to evolve, and his journey is far from over.
