The Soul of Sushi: The Beauty of Detail
Chef Shintaro Suzuki understands this principle well. Every morning, he visits the market personally to inspect the day's catch, rejecting anything that does not meet his rigorous standards. He says, 'Only fish treated with the utmost care will yield sufficient flavor.' He even uses his hands to sense the texture of each fish to judge its quality. In his pursuit of refinement, his team uses different brushes to apply soy sauce depending on the fish species. For instance, fatty tuna has a richer profile; using the same brush as one used for lighter fish would compromise the purity of the flavor.
Furthermore, the sweetness and saltiness of the rice for each piece of nigiri are fine-tuned to match the specific fish, achieving the perfect balance. To the average person, such meticulousness might seem overly tedious, but it is precisely this dedication to detail that has earned 'Sushi Shin' a place in Japanese culinary history: when the Michelin Guide first arrived in Japan, it was among the first sushi restaurants to receive a star, and it has maintained that star status for over a decade.
