ChefToshio Saito: A Craftsman Polishing His Skills on the Path of Mastery
Born in Yamanashi Prefecture in 1968, he developed a passion for sushi that led him to pursue a career in the field. After moving to Tokyo, he had a fateful encounter with Keiichi Nakazawa, who would later open his own sushi restaurant, at the first establishment he trained at. He was invited to join Nakazawa's first restaurant in Kojimachi and spent about five years honing his skills under his guidance. He then moved to the United States, where he spent six years in New York, gaining experience and broadening his knowledge before returning to Japan. After further refining his skills for four years at a sushi restaurant in Yotsuya, he confidently opened his own establishment in Akasaka.
Food "Mastering the Traditional Forms That Must Be Preserved, and Thus Building the Techniques of a New Era"
As I settle into my seat, the first thing served alongside the gari is sea grapes. With an undeniable anticipation for the rich flavors that will follow, the appetizers and sushi begin to be served alternately. This is the style of the "sushi master" inherited from Mr. Nakazawa, which captures the hearts of sake drinkers. The rice is made with a blend of three types of vinegar: red vinegar, rice vinegar, and a mix, each used to enhance the umami of the ingredients. I want to enjoy each beautifully crafted dish, appreciating the uncompromising quality.
Space"Pursuing Comfort and Luxury: Thoughtfulness Towards Guests Without Raising the Bar of Gourmet Dining"
The bonsai sitting at the back of the counter is replaced every two weeks, serving as a symbolic presence for this restaurant that informs patrons of the changing seasons. The interior, crafted from gray-toned washi paper, exudes a heavy yet somehow elegant atmosphere. The rare sunken kotatsu-style counter with 11 seats is designed for guests to relax and enjoy their time. While engaging in sushi discussions with the gentle chef, I want to admire his graceful movements and savor the exquisite dishes served.
Alternating snacks and nigiri, where Saito's sensibility intertwines with the rhythm, creating a neo-standard Edomae sushi experience.
"Sushi Takumi Saito" is a branch of the renowned "Sushi Takumi" in Yotsuya, faithfully following the "Sushi Takumi style" of alternating between appetizers and sushi. With the unique skills of Chef Sa...ito, backed by his experience, and his humble demeanor, this place has become a highly regarded restaurant, rivaling even the original Yotsuya location among food enthusiasts. Nestled in the bustling streets of Akasaka, this cozy restaurant features a sunken kotatsu counter, where you can relax and enjoy the chef's craftsmanship while indulging in exquisite sushi.
