Sushi Yuu

A family atmosphere is in the air at this Nishazabu sushi restaurant — one of the only ones in the area to have obtained a Michelin star. Here, some family recipes dating back generations are used, with the chef’s mother lending a hand in the cooking. His father’s antiques are on display in the dining room, where he serves outstanding nigiri interspersed with small dishes which add a splash of color and variation to the set-course meal. The exact dishes change every day depending on which ingredients are freshest at the local fish markets. However, guests can always expect some nice little innovative touches, such as crab with grilled pufferfish shirako, or a risotto using vinegar sushi rice and monkfish liver. The chef also has excellent English ability, so foreign guests can enjoy the full sushi experience and make the most of his charming hospitality.
