Confronting Red Vinegar, Conveying Edomae Sushi in Its Current Form.

At Sushi Akazu, we prioritize the careful transmission of Japanese food culture, centered around the techniques of Edomae sushi. We have built our craft around rice seasoned with red vinegar, focusing on bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients. We offer a relaxed yet authentic experience, allowing visitors to Japan to enjoy sushi as an extension of their daily lives without pretension, while maintaining the essence of the craft.

For each item, do work with purpose.

Our sushi values the question "why this shape, this flavor" more than flashiness. The red-vinegar sushi rice is designed primarily for harmony with the toppings, and is completed as a consistent whole including temperature and the pressure used when forming the nigiri. While respecting the traditional Edo-mae sushi philosophy, we continually seek a balance that fits the sensibilities of modern diners. We aim for a taste that even those experiencing Edo-mae sushi for the first time can naturally accept.

At Sushi Akasu, we focus on creating a calm space where guests can concentrate on the food. Centered around the counter, we value a distance that naturally allows you to see the artisans’ handiwork and movements. We avoid excessive staging, creating an atmosphere where conversation and the rhythm of the meal flow comfortably. Whether between sightseeing or on a special day, we strive to provide a setting where you can enjoy the time spent facing the sushi itself.

HISTORY

Inheriting the traditions of Japanese cuisine and weaving them into the modern era.

We do not simply adopt the techniques and ideas of Edomae sushi as they are; rather, we aim to understand their meaning and express them in a way that fits the present. From the use of red vinegar and the preparation processes to the order of service, the current style is the sum of accumulated judgments. We believe that preserving tradition is not the same as refusing to change.
