“””Bara Chirashi”” made by the restaurant owner chef who loves the sea.
I went to the “”Sushi restaurant Yoneyama”” in Kagurazaka, Tokyo.
It is a 5-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station and is a restaurant with tranquil atmosphere.
The restaurant has a long history of 23 years, but the interior is beautiful, and the atmosphere inside is GOOD.
The owner, Mr. Yoneyama, is a sushi chef who has trained at the Sushi-Ko flagship restaurant for 18 years. At the first glance, he looks a little tough and scary.
(This prejudice disappeared soon.)
Let me introduce you to the “Bara Chirashi” which has won the top place in popularity ranking of a number of magazines and TV interviews.
“Bara Chirashi” has been around since the Edo period. It was passed down as a way to preserve the deliciousness of fish without a refrigerator. In other words, the dish has been designed in a way that it will be delicious even after a day it has been made.
(There are various theories)
“Starting with selection of ingredients, then marinating the ingredients with vinegar, and dipping them into wasabi soy sauce, the chef has put effort into making sure that all the ingredients can be kept for a long time.
* Recently, “”Bara Chirashi”” is often made to be eaten immediately.
It is an art to line up the 10 kinds of ingredients in this one dish.
It’s not just the ingredients that the owner is particular about.
This “”Bara Chirashi”” is developed as a take-out menu, so the owner is particular about the container as well.
He asked a Japanese paper manufacturer in Fukui prefecture to make the container.
Using a material that does not absorb water from the rice.
Using bright and cheery wrapping paper.
As there is such commitment to this dish, it is definitely worth a try. Actually, it is limited to 20 servings per day.
Because of that, the competition rate is skyrocketing.
Usually, you have to reserve in advance. Shipping within Honshu area is also accepted.
The restaurant accepts orders starting from one serving, so please try it!!
… While we chat about various things, the conversation was led to talking about Mr. Yoneyama’s hobby.
His hobby is scuba diving, and he has dived into many different seas so far.
He is always thinking about the sea.
Mr. Yoneyama’s facial expression became so gentle when talking about the sea, just like the illustration on the business card.”
