CRAFTSMANSHIP

Exquisite Ingredients from the Source

産地直送の仕入れ

Sushi, as we see it, is not the work of shaping fish but of carrying a life onward. A fisherman lands it, a broker judges it, a dresser prepares it; the chef receives the last leg of that relay. Whose hands the fish has passed through is what we care about most.

At Sushi Tanji, we carefully choose only the finest seafood, sourced then expertly prepared under the “Ultimate Ikejime” method by Mr. Tsumoto, who devised the method, and by Hiroaki Yamazaki and Ryosuke Sakuma, both officially certified in it.
The bleeding and dressing of each fish is done by Mr. Tsumoto and his certified artisans; we receive that fish and devote ourselves to the ageing and the nigiri. Because we are connected to them directly, we know when, where and how every fish was handled.
Each piece is crafted with the chef’s honed skills together with unhurried dedication, creating sushi that leaves a lasting impression on the palate as well as the memory.
