日本橋蛎殻町 すぎた
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With such a diverse array of sushi chefs, ranging from those who focus purely on seeking the most prized cuts of every ingredient imaginable, to those who focus on finding the ultimate vinegar combinations to match, but there are only a few sushi chefs who one can look at as an artist of sorts. Sugita is one of those that have found the balance between culinary artistry, ingredient selection and execution. There is an almost surreal series of movements that he follows with the preparation of each piece of nigiri with Sugita-san in seemingly meditative state in order to feel the metaphysical connection with each neta.
The blended shari that errs on the more powerful, grippy side of the spectrum was initially more intense than my own preferences but ultimately serves as a sound balance to the range of fish he utilises.
As the meal progressed, I could begin to understand that perfected singularity he is striving for.. there is a state where flavours, visuals, emotions and appreciation for artistry reaches equilibrium.. not sure if it is possible to reach there, but this search for the holy grail is something that has to be appreciated.
Just make sure you show up hungry as it gets pretty filling!
