Shoukouwa Restaurant

Shoukouwa offers a world-class fine-dining edomae sushi experience, sourced directly from Ginza in Tokyo. The Japanese chefs have honed their skills at prestigious Ginza establishments, ensuring direct interaction and personalized attention for guests. Edomae sushi dates back to the Edo era in Japan, where fresh ingredients were made with close-by waterways and served quickly to preserve their freshness. Today, edomae sushi chefs take pride in serving only the best seasonal seafood and produce, presenting the purest flavors with minimal cooking and manipulation. The art of fine sushi is contemplative and considered, with a delicate balance of fish quality, proportion, and temperature. The fish must be of the highest grade, undamaged during the catch, and very fresh. The rice for sushi is mixed delicately with a fine balance of rice vinegar to allow for subtle taste without overpowering the fish. The acidity of vinegar acts as a cooking agent, ensuring the sushi is consumed within seconds of being served. The amount and temperature of rice for each sushi are different with different fish, and a true sushi master chef will take the appropriate amount and press it for the perfect time to achieve the ideal harmony of taste and texture. Shoukouwa provides an intimate space of tranquil elegance, enhancing the dining experience.
