Sushi Hōseki Kenji Gyoten @bulgarihotels 🍣🇯🇵
-
Had to visit Sushi Hōseki whilst at Bulgari in Tokyo. It’s their 8-seat omakase restaurant led by 3-Michelin starred Kenji Gyoten from Sushi Gyoten in Fukuoka. In 2014 he was the youngest chef in Japan to receive 3 stars in the sushi category; and the dishes presented during the course here are nothing short of amazing. Each sitting starts with the shari being prepared in front of guests - it’s carefully folded with vinegar whilst the appetisers are prepared. The first nigiri courses are generous here. Two nigiris each of the very best akami, chutoro and otoro. What followed was a mix of dishes including more nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls, chawanmushi and small rice bowls. Nicely balanced vinegar in the rice and well tempered fish. The squid was sensational. Beautiful plating too. Was very lucky to enjoy a super rare sake this evening thanks to someone next to me who spotted it - a 2015 from Brain Damage Incorporated. Incredible bottle. Super smooth, fresh and easy on the palette. Never tried anything quite like it. The Bafun uni hand roll with this sake was probably one of my favourite pairings of this entire trip! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽‍♂️
