Sushi & Japanese Cuisine Shinjuku Yonegami
Sushi
This Shinjuku restaurant provides a perfect introduction to traditional nihon-ryori and the concepts of hashiri, shun and nagori.
Restaurant Details
A core concept of nihon-ryori, or traditional Japanese cuisine, are the trifold concepts of hashiri, shun and nagori. Each represents the beginning, middle and ending of a culinary “season”. When making nihon-ryori, a chef must not only take these concepts into consideration when accounting for not only the freshness of the ingredients used, but also the atmosphere, temperature and climate in which the meal is to be consumed.
Every chef behind Yonegami’s counter is a bona fide expert in these three concepts, each boasting decades of experience working at kaiseki or sushi restaurants across Tokyo. As such, every course menu at Yonegami is meticulously planned around this holy trinity of Japanese cuisine. Not a single morsel goes without consideration, whether it’s a single grain of rice in a bigfin reef squid nigiri, or a crumb of tenkasu in a prawn tempura.
In order to spread the truth of nihon-ryori to as many visitors as possible, the Shinjuku restaurant also offers menus in English, Chinese and Korean, so guests will have no trouble navigating the course or communicating their desires to the chef.
