鮨よしたけ

4.4 (246) $$$$ $$$$ Sushi, World's Best

Description

Summary: Past meets present in a sushi craft that sources fish directly and honors a long vinegar tradition.

The place reads like a map of the sea told through careful technique. Fish are bought directly from smaller suppliers rather than the market, a detail that shapes flavor and freshness. Rice is prepared with a red vinegar steeped for generations, giving a lively brightness that complements lean tuna and the creamy richness of sea urchin. The chef blends Edo era sensibilities with personal invention, steering the tradition toward a future where every bite reflects patience, balance, and a touch of daring.
