An 8-Seat Edomae Sushi Counter Showcasing the Finest Seasonal Seafood from Tango
– Crafted by Chef Yoichi Akashi, a Master of Edomae Technique –
After spending 15 years at Michelin-listed restaurants in New York and Los Angeles,
along with 2 additional years at a luxury sushi restaurant in Roppongi, Tokyo,
Chef Yoichi Akashi now brings authentic Edomae-style sushi to Kyoto’s Miyazu area,
using exceptionally fresh seafood caught daily on the Tango Peninsula.
The restaurant features only eight counter seats, allowing guests to enjoy the chef’s refined movements and craftsmanship up close.
A Fusion of Proven Skills and Exceptional Local Ingredients
The waters surrounding the Tango Peninsula are rich, productive fishing grounds that yield a wide variety of seafood throughout the year.
To bring out the very best of each fish, Chef Akashi applies precise and thoughtful Edomae techniques tailored to every ingredient.
Blending the international sensibilities he refined abroad with the delicate craftsmanship acquired in Japan,
he creates sushi that can be experienced only here — a unique expression of local ingredients and masterful technique.
Enjoy authentic Edomae sushi prepared with:
Rice seasoned with red vinegar (akazu), premium Tango-grown rice,
and freshly caught seafood from Miyazu & the Tango coast — all thoughtfully balanced to create a harmonious tasting experience.
Chef Yoichi Akashi
With many years of experience in Michelin-starred restaurants abroad and further training at a high-end sushi restaurant in Tokyo,
Chef Akashi offers consistently refined technique and exceptional quality.
Depending on the fish, he performs traditional Edomae preparations such as salting, kombu-curing, or marinating,
earning high praise from gourmets and sushi connoisseurs.
“Serve the very best, in its very best condition.”
Guided by this philosophy, the restaurant serves an omakase course with ingredients and dishes that vary daily.
