Being ranked as the no.1 sushi restaurant in Japan, the owner chef, Sugita San, is currently the most recognized sushi chef globally. The experience commenced with 7-8 types of tsumami, followed by another 5-6 types for add on at an additional cost. Without a shadow of a doubt, the ankimo sourced from Yoichi was seasoned beautifully, striking a perfect balance between salinity and sweetness. It’s always been served with a glass of Aramasa [新政] Kijoshu [貴釀酒] called Hinotori [陽乃鳥] ever since the sake was released more than 10 years ago. Other quintessential tsumamis like tako, tachiuo, katsuo and chawanmushi were all spot on in terms of texture and flavor. What impressed me the most of the grilled kasuzuke [粕漬け] mehikari which was fatty, moisty and aromatic, finishing with an addictive Japanese sake flavor!⁣
⁣
Sugita’s nigiri session began with the signature kohada which needs no introduction. My favourites were actually the aburi kinmedai and aka uni. Honourable mentions include mirugai, kuruma ebi and warayaki katsuo. Sugita’s counter is not small – sometimes it can accommodate up to 9 patrons. Yet, Sugita San’s shari was extremely consistent in terms of texture, size and temperature. It was also seasoned perfectly, making it a good fit for different types of neta! His precision, intuition and skills are beyond imagination!⁣
⁣
What makes Sugita complete is the sake selection – the variety and freshness of his selection is simply best in class. If you are a fan of Aramasa, just ask for it and you will definitely be surprised by the Sugita only editions! Reservation is relatively easy when compared to other top notch sushi restaurants (at least you don’t have to plan 1 year in advance!).⁣

in tokyo, japan (march’24)

a really humbling and anticipated moment at my first visit to sugita, one of the most well respected shokunins of the industry, thank you so much again a-chan for the opportunity and great company.

some textbook tsumamis to start, like the plump hotate and kawahagi with liver sauce, oyster chawanmushi and a kama toro skewer. so so lucky to have gotten the signature iwashi maki which didn’t disappoint. really loved the hotaru ika miso zuke, and truly the best ankimo i’ve tried to date, kept getting more cuz it was so so good. then we were led to a series of add-on tsumamis, got them all so was slightly full by the the nigiri segment. favourite here was the grilled squid tenticles and uni misozuke, note to self to choose carefully at my next visit.

nigiri began with his famed kohada, leaning on the savoury side especially with his shari, which was more on the salty end with not much acidity. his pieces were also generally on the larger spectrum, so was pretty full quite quickly. favourite pieces today were the tai, kasugo dai, chutoro, komochi ika and aji. truly blown away by the white fish served here which i thought was the type of neta that complemented best with his shari. ended with a half shio, half tare anago, kanpyo and really lovely tamago yaki to end.

so grateful to have tried and witnessed the elegance of sugita san, his famous eye-closed moment when making nigiris and the unique ‘sinking’ of his nigiri. not one i am dying to return to, but won’t hesitate when offered the opportunity to revisit.

Sugita | Part III: The nigiri section of our late autumn course featured a glittering ensemble cast of hikarimono✨🙌🏻(kohada, aji, iwashi) and standout performances from the shima-aji and the sawara warayaki💫. As always, the sake that Sugita-san selected for me were on point—his knowledge of sake and understanding of how it complements each dish is outstanding🍶👏🏻! Massive love and respect to Sugita-san, @ladysushichef and the entire team for making every visit magical. 🙏🏻❤️🥰

Sugita | Part I: I always look forward to visiting Sugita, my most beloved sushiya, but it’s the reservations that fall the late autumn months make my heart race with excited anticipation🍂💗! While the “prize😐” fish varieties (maguro & buri) are not yet at their peak, the cooling waters are abundant with the fish I love most — hikarimono (silver-back fish), and Sugita-san’s kohada and aji are epic👏🏻❣️ At this time of year, the katsuo (bonito), saba (mackerel), iwashi (sardine) have acquired a generous layer of fat and rich flavour as they migrate south from Hokkaido, the liver of kawahaji (thread-sail filefish) and anko (monkfish) are at their prime tastiness, and tara (cod) show off their bulging sacks of shirako (aka dadami in Akita)— nature’s most delicious “codpiece”🤭!
