I first started my career as a chef in French cuisine. I then trained at the Sushi Nakamura restaurant in Tokyo city for 6 years before opening a branch in Kyoto city, my hometown, as the head chef in 2022.
When you stop by, I hope that you will not only enjoy the taste and atmosphere of the original restaurant, but the sushi & ingredients that can only be tasted in Kyoto city, too.

Each morning, the chef carefully selects fresh seafood from the local fish market to ensure each customer can enjoy the best of the best. The sushi rice is made from Niigata Prefecture’s Koshihikari rice, which is cooked in an iron kettle and blended with three kinds of red vinegar and rice vinegar to give it the perfect texture & flavor.
The chef also takes care to use a traditional cooking technique known as ‘kakushi bocho’ (lightly scoring the surface of ingredients) when preparing each sushi. This technique not only makes each ingredient easier to eat, but it creates a harmonious sushi experience, too.
