Japanese Decorative Sushi, Chef's Story (Patreon)

Japanese Decorative Sushi Chef Story | Saiku Style ★ ONLY in JAPAN

There is a lost art to making this variety of sushi unknown outside Japan. The elaborate designs and use of the ingredients create art from food. This is called Saiku Sushi and was quite popular in the Showa era but has sadly disappeared. Today, Yuki Sugeta and his sushi apprentice Issei Meguro from Takasago Sushi in Tokyo will prepare over a dozen designs of sushi in the shape of seasonal flowers, fish and animals. When you eat sushi, you're not just eating raw fish on rice - you're eating the years of experience each chef has practiced their craft, perfecting it so you come back for more.
