Sushi Riku is one of the new sushiyas that relocated to Hiroo which is a prime residential area in central Tokyo. Chef Riku Toda was trained by two of the most prominent sushi chefs in the last decade - the retired legend Mizutani San and Chef Sugita who needs no introduction. He was subsequently entrusted by Chef Sugita to lead the opening of a high-ended sushiya in Bangkok called Sushi Ichizu. Needless to say, Sugita’s classics like kohada and iwashi isobemaki were both outstanding but what impressed me the most was the first ever piece of shark fin I have had in Japan – it’s crispy outside and perfectly moist inside, finishing with a spicy kick from black sansho. What an ingenious tsumami, marrying the best Thai produces with Japanese cooking technique and seasonings.
The photos were captured last year during a pop-up event that was held at Restaurant l’equateur, and I am sure the experience will be more pleasant at a properly furnished sushiya.
