I want to serve sushi that brings a smile, saying "delicious" while explaining in English.In addition to "Matsukan" in Azabu-Juban, "SHIMOMURA" in Motomachi, and "OPENFISH" in Shibuya, our chef, who is dedicated to sushi, has traveled as far as America and Germany to welcome you. With the theme of conveying the charm of Japanese ingredients and culture, we share the stories of production areas and the thoughts of producers through our dishes. We value smiles and ensure that your dining experience is uninterrupted, so please rest assured. For our overseas guests, explanations will be provided in English. -
The commitment to shari, the essence of sushi.Using vinegar from a vinegar shop in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, which has a history of over 300 years and is not used by any sushi restaurant in Japan, we create sushi rice seasoned with this special vinegar. The delicious sushi rice is crafted with a carefully selected blend of rice, developed in collaboration with a "rice meister." The sushi rice, which is the cornerstone of sushi, truly showcases the skill of the artisan. The size is slightly smaller, considering the balance with the toppings. A key to its deliciousness is ensuring the grains are distinct. You can enjoy a flavor with the vinegar's presence strongly expressed, while also providing a refreshing and sharp taste along with a rich aroma. -
The producer's feelings and their genuine love for sushi.The essence of sushi lies in the fresh seasonal ingredients that change with the seasons. The various ingredients that make up sushi are also important. One of our roles is to convey the origins and the producers' intentions behind these ingredients. We source the finest materials from Toyosu Market and carefully selected regions across Japan, ensuring they are aged and prepared to match perfectly with "Kunimitsu's sushi rice," which we provide uncompromisingly. Additionally, at our shop in Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo, we take great care with our tea, offering delightful pairings of sushi and tea, as well as collaboratively developed menus with Japanese tea instructors. We are dedicated to the mission of conveying the charm of Japanese ingredients and culture. -
The ultimate sushi that satisfies all five senses.Delicious and enjoyable.
We want many people to experience sushi that is kind to everyone (in taste, hospitality, and price) and to purely enjoy "food."
With this feeling, our restaurant opened here in Higashi-Nakano.
We pursue deliciousness without being bound by fixed concepts regarding the origins of ingredients or combinations of materials.
With the concept of "sushi with the best cost-performance loved by locals," we provide sushi that will genuinely satisfy our customers.
Our restaurant, which spares no effort in avoiding compromise, continues to evolve and aims to add color to our customers' precious moments.
