Gran finale of the kani season. Master Yamaguchi always surprises with new creations.

Sushi Mekumi すし処めくみ 3rd visit — 1st time during the peak of the crab season and this meal was at another level compared to the previous 2 visits in summer. 3 types of crabs served with Kani miso over leg meat. A few nigiris and finally uni rice seasoned with seaweed. Definitely the best place for crabs among all sushi restaurants. •

Mekumi すし処 めくみ 2nd visit — better season this time so the experience was a lot more enjoyable than my first visit. Special ingredients include gasu ebi, the season’s last fugu shirako and bafun uni. The seaweed seasoned uni rice was heavenly. (No pictures on the nigiris as you are supposed to eat them as soon as they are served) •

Sushidokoro Mekumi, outside of Kanazawa. A singular experience by a truly dedicated chef. Famous for his painstaking procurement of seafood around the region, and a unique style. No nigiri pictures allowed. Sake paring is a must, as well. Extremely fortunate to have gone twice in crab season.

Sashimi of bonito and yellowtail caught in the morning
七尾産迷い鰹、鰤
どちらも朝捕れたもの。常温で脂が溶け出して、つやつやしているのが美しい。口に入れると脂が溶け出すが、全くしつこさがなく、旨味だけが余韻として残るのが感動的。

Kyoto + Kanazawa + Kaga Onsen Autumn Trip
Posting a bunch of places all at once, since I’m way behind.
Kanazawa: Sushi Mekumi @sushidokoro.mekumi
Yamaguchi-san is not serving typical sushi. Our crab course started with five different types of crab in seven preparations, followed by some bycatch shrimp and whelk, then on to nigiri. Superb flavors, delicate shari, and great saké pairings. A must-go, 100% worth the trip.

Takayoshi Yamaguchi san restaurant is generally listed as a sushi restaurant. I think this classification is wrong as he now clearly has established himself in his own category.
Yes, he still serves nigiris, but most of them have not a raw neta, but a cooked one. So together with his otsumami most of the food is cooked.
The sourcing is always absolutely top notch, the execution flawless. Together it creates an unbelievable meal. His extensive sake selection and pairing with his food leaves no... More

Since March 2020 I have been there 10(!) times and every single meal was an extraordinary experience. Less

Kani dinner at Mekumi. The Master at his best.
Note: Only otsumami pictures. The Chef does not want pictures to be taken for the nigiris.

Fourth meal in 2020 at one of my favorites places. No words needed, however I want to mention four dishes which are extraordinary.
First crab (kani) of the year, the nodoguro (Blackthroat seaperch or rosy seabass), the wild unagi and the deconstructed Uni hosomaki.

Another meal at Mekumi-san. Truly one of the best sushi restaurants in Japan. The skill and determination of Mekumi-San is unparalleled. This time we only got two raw nigiri and thereafter only cooked ones. There are no pictures as he asked us to eat them quickly and not waste time making pictures. So no pictures, only great tast memories.

Takayoshi Yamaguchi - the master of them all
There you go and make a really effort and learn to experience the best sushi places on earth. You think you know something. Then you go to Sushitokoro Mekumi and life is changed. You know nothing, you wasted your life. It is that good, believe me!

Takayoshi Yamaguchi - the master of them all
There you go and make a really effort and learn to experience the best sushi places on earth. You think you know something. Then you go to Sushitokoro Mekumi and life is changed. You know nothing, you wasted your life. It is that good, believe me!
I do not know where to start but let me just pick his crab preparations. Having heated the hair carb a little bit, he boils down the crab that has been cleaned carefully with water with a salt concentration of 1.5 to 1.6%. Of course, the boiling time is also adjusted by seconds and the salt concentration is adjusted by 0.1% based on the individual difference of the crab. Up to this point, the preparation is down. Then, the body of every crab is packed in its shell. And the shell is filled up with crab roe. Less

Kanazawa is known for its abundance in fresh seafood due to its proximity to the Japan Sea. So naturally, our first stop in this city is one of the top sushiyas - Mekumi (すし処 めくみ) - which is #2 on Tabelog in the Ishikawa Prefecture for sushi. Chef Takahashi Yamaguchi runs the show here, preparing everything with the help of 1 apprentice and serving everything himself. There are just 8 seats at the counter and food photography was not permitted. What stood out the most is the... More
Kanazawa is known for its abundance in fresh seafood due to its proximity to the Japan Sea. So naturally, our first stop in this city is one of the top sushiyas - Mekumi (すし処 めくみ) - which is #2 on Tabelog in the Ishikawa Prefecture for sushi. Chef Takahashi Yamaguchi runs the show here, preparing everything with the help of 1 apprentice and serving everything himself. There are just 8 seats at the counter and food photography was not permitted. What stood out the most is the top-grade quality of the fish. Overall, a very enjoyable start to our 5 nights in Kanazawa.
