Edomae Sushi Hanabusa

1 Star • Sushi. The chef honed both his technical skills and also the spirit of the sushi craftsman at a long-established restaurant. A devotee of fish from Tokyo Bay, he regularly visits fishing ports, cultivating close ties with local fishermen that pay off in a supply of quality catch. Fish is meticulously prepared, whether cured in kombu or vinegar, or simmered. He pours his passion into Edo-style techniques, seasoning the sushi rice with red vinegar and salt. Tuna takes centre stage, while the nigiri begins with toro and concludes with tekkamaki.
