Shishie | Sushi Restaurant in Yoyogi-Uehara, Tokyo
SHISHIE — JOETSU, NIIGATA
Sushi that begins with the rice.
The rice is Mizuho no Kagayaki, grown in Joetsu.
The taste of the rice is settled first; the fish follows.
The bluefin is wild, and Fujita Suisan brings it to us.
Some fish is landed off Joetsu.
The rest follows the seasons from around Japan.
The soy sauce and salt are from Joetsu as well.
So are foods the snow country ferments and keeps.
Sake from Joetsu leads the list; wine is chosen to suit.
