ChefKouki Tanabe - The Store and Aspirations Inherited from the Master
Born in 1994 and from Yamaguchi Prefecture, I grew up in a family that has been running a sushi restaurant since my grandfather's generation. I dedicated myself to baseball until my university days. After graduating from university, I got a job at a local fish shop to learn about fish and handled various types of fish. Later, I moved to Tokyo to train in cooking. I began my apprenticeship at "Sushi Rinda" in 2018, and in 2020, I was appointed as the manager of "Ranmaru." After establishing Swing Co., Ltd. in 2023, I received business succession from my mentor, Yuta Kono, and became the owner of "Ranmaru."
Food "Red Rice with a Body Feel Yet Light Enough to Not Get Tired of Eating"
What Mr. Tanabe is most particular about is the flavor of the sushi rice, or shari. Among the many types of rice, he has carefully selected Tsuyahime from Yamagata Prefecture. At "Ranmaru," the rice is cooked in a high-temperature kamado (traditional Japanese rice cooker), so it is essential to have grains that are less likely to break, as well as the right size and strength. Additionally, the rice itself has a natural sweetness and aroma that can stand up to the strong punch of the blended red vinegar from "Yohei." The temperature of the shari is finely adjusted according to the type of topping; for example, kohada (young gizzard shad) and akami (lean tuna) are served at a slightly lower temperature, while chutoro (medium fatty tuna) is aimed to be served at a higher temperature to enhance the melting of the fat.
Food The three key points for keeping fish fresh are freshness, dehydration, and drying.
How to cultivate fresh ingredients into high-quality products relies on the techniques of dehydration and drying. The high-quality tuna sourced from "Yama Ko" is carefully assessed for its texture; firmer pieces undergo dehydration aging, allowing the fat to permeate the flesh. Additionally, if the condition is good, they are dried to trap the umami inside. The sea bream is gently dehydrated while still with its skin and allowed to rest. Finally, the cutting technique is executed in a way that enhances the flavor of the fish, resulting in a thicker cut.
The Sushi Kid in Meguro: Taking the Area by Storm!
Opened in 2018 as a sister restaurant to 'Sushi Linda,' 'Ranmaru' is now under the ownership of Koki Tanabe, who has been the manager since February 2023. The new style of Ranmaru, led by Tanabe, focu
...ses on sushi that pairs perfectly with drinks. Among the over 20-course options, around 10 dishes are served alongside sushi. Due to its popularity, reservations are currently by referral only, but cancellation slots listed on Tabelog are available for new customers.
