The counter curves in a fan shape so every seat faces the kitchen, a small but deliberate thing that frames the whole meal. This is a Michelin-starred sushi counter in Shinjuku where the chef and apprentice move in the kind of coordinated quiet that takes years to build. Rice comes from the chef's home region on the Noto Peninsula, and old-school touches turn up in the nigiri, lean tuna paired with mustard, sea bream under sweetened egg yolk.
