The chef grew up abroad and came back to Japanese tradition on purpose, which might explain why this Michelin-starred sushi counter in Shinjuku feels like someone thinking hard about what the form can do. Rice is matched to each topping by vinegar type, and the progression moves from delicate to assertive. Squid glazed with white birch sap and conger eel finished with a herbal reduction are the kinds of details that make you pay attention.
