A message from the Chef
For me, the sushi counter is where I feel most at home—it’s a space where I can truly express myself. Before becoming a sushi chef, I worked as a food scientist, a background that sets me apart from others in the industry. This unique experience allows me to approach sushi from both a scientific perspective and the traditions of Edomae-style sushi, giving my craft a distinctive edge.
Families with children are always welcome! I strive to create a warm, inviting atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy their meal—not just as individuals, but as part of a shared dining experience. Whether you’re dining with loved ones or striking up a conversation with fellow guests, I hope you’ll feel at ease in this space.
