Sushi Kadowaki Tokyo

“A glistening piece of fatty tuna sizzles as Tomohito Mizuno, chef Takatoshi Kadowaki’s right-hand man, sears it with a hot charcoal. Kadowaki presents the finished morsel of nigiri sushi alongside a glass of @xandersorenwinesjp Ludeon Pinot Noir from California. As I take a bite followed by a sip, a harmony unfolds — the wine’s bright fruitiness and nuanced, earthy notes complementing the buttery, umami-laden fish.

In Tokyo, upscale sushi restaurants serving vintage French wines are a dime a dozen, but @sushi_kadowaki, in the capital’s Ginza district, breaks the mold with a wine list focused mainly on New World offerings.”

Opened in 2021, Sushi Kadowaki is a gem, striking the perfect balance: fantastic food and drink in a delightful atmosphere with a fun-loving yet impeccable staff of chefs.
