"Steamed egg custard with plum vinegar sauce"

One of the things the shop owner is particular about is water.
The owner himself goes to Shiroyama in Kamiichi Town, at the foot of the sacred Mt. Tsurugi, to collect spring water every week, and uses it in their chawanmushi (steamed egg custard).
This spring water gushes forth from the mysterious depths of a cave that is thought to be several thousand meters deep.
It is a miraculous water that does not spoil easily even when stored for a long time. When drunk raw, it contains a moderate amount of minerals.
It's said to be delicious because of its pleasant texture, and it's also believed to relieve constipation and cleanse the intestines.
Apparently, the rice cooks quickly and tastes delicious without any unpleasant odors.
This chawanmushi, made using only this sacred water, has a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
A simple chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) with a soft and elegant texture, topped with a thick plum vinegar sauce.
It may seem unsatisfying at first glance because it has no fillings,
This dish is surprisingly simple, yet the balance between the deliciousness of the water and the saltiness of the plum vinegar is wonderful!

He prepares each piece of sushi with skillful and precise movements.
There are approximately 43,000 sushi restaurants in Japan, and more than one-sixth of them, or over 7,000, are concentrated in Tokyo.
Among them is a restaurant renowned as "the most difficult restaurant to get a reservation at in Tokyo" or "the best sushi restaurant in Japan."ArakiThe owner of the shopArakiMr.

Sushi chefteeth,ArakiThey say that they wouldn't be where they are today without Mr./Ms.

When it comes to sushi, the rice is the most important part.
そのシャリとなる富山米は、富山の美味しい水を使い、丁寧に作られたものを使用されているので、
The aroma, flavor, and sheen are all impeccable.
We use Koshihikari rice, which is carefully selected from among the Toyama rice and specially cultivated by local contract farmers.
Furthermore, they apparently mill their own rice.
It's no exaggeration to say that sushi in Toyama Prefecture is all about savoring the deliciousness of the rice.
From managing the quality and condition of the rice to cooking and preparing the rice sushi, every detail is carefully considered.
They always strive to provide their products in the best possible condition.

The most impressive thing was how the rice was cooked.
Cooking sticky Koshihikari rice thoroughly to achieve an al dente texture is an extremely difficult task.
Apparently, this can only be achieved by carefully cooking the rice in a Nambu iron pot.
Also, in order to maintain the moisture content of the cooked rice in a good state,Akita cedar”"Ohitsu"”They are using it.

"Charcoal-grilled snow crab and blackthroat seaperch"

The texture of snow crab is firm and springy,
The flesh is firm, full of sweetness, and has a rich flavor.

By searing the surface of the blackthroat seaperch over charcoal, the umami flavor is locked inside.
This blackthroat seaperch has a wonderfully soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture; it's a truly luxurious dish. The scallions in between are also fragrant and sweet, making it incredibly delicious!

Sushi chefAs you can see from the color of the rice,Red vinegarThey are using it.
Red vinegar, the origin of classic Edo-style vinegar, originated in the Genroku era and became popular along with the rise of Edo-style sushi.
The "Yokoi's Pure Sake Lees Vinegar Yohei" used is made from carefully selected sake lees aged for three years.
It is made by first incorporating plenty of umami components such as amino acids and organic acids, then fermenting it, and finally letting it age slowly to finish.
This carefully prepared red vinegar has less of a pungent acidity, and instead boasts the rich aroma and umami of sake lees, along with a mellow depth of flavor.
This restaurant adopts the original Edomae sushi style, and the rice is seasoned only with red vinegar and salt, without using sugar.
The salt used is sea salt from Suzu Salt Factory on the Noto Peninsula.
