in osaka, japan (jan’24)
one of the most talked about sushiya around japan recently, more of an innovative and creative style sushiya which drastically differs from what i’m used to. they only serve 2 rounds lunch and no dinner, which suits the lovely ambient space and modern interiors.
his shari is more on the lighter spectrum, with not much acidity which for me was a bit hard to get used to, but worked excellent with the old champagne we selected for our meal. truely enjoyed his tsumami which are sandwiched between the nigiris, his oyster chawamushi, ankimo with narazuke served with sake lees rice crackers, fugu shirako soup and lightly fried yurine were definitely highlights of the meal. taisho’s knife-skills also play a role in presenting his pieces to be super aesthetic, like in his kensaki ika nigiri and his iwashi maki.
for nigiris, really loved his starting piece of buri daikon, but his masu zuke was excellent. grilled hotate, shredded then dressed in tare, tara shirako nigiri and the usuyami tamago to finish were also delightful. however i didn’t enjoy his otoro, and his organic micro-green maki with a bit of shari and katsuoboshi was really an acquired taste. the meal was concluded in the tearoom next door which we had a selection between two desserts and teas, a lovely way to round off the meal and digest before setting off for the rest of the afternoon.
definitely worth seeking out when in osaka, a nice breath away from the traditional style and a really nice and relaxing space to dine in.
