ーRestaurant introductionー
Every sushi chef's dream is to open his or her own restaurant. For sushi
chefs, opening a restaurant "independently" symbolizes years of training and
mastery of culinary traditions. For Chef Ikuta, this dream has been a long
time coming. He entered the sushi industry at the age of 18 and went to Toyosu
Market every morning to learn how to select fresh fish. Most chefs need to
spend close to twenty or even thirty years before opening their own shop. But
at the age of 31, Chef Ikuta decided to leave Sushi Langzan in Isetan Shinjuku
and open Sushi Takahiro in January 2024, which is a testament to his talent
and skills.
Drawing inspiration from his predecessors, Chef Ikeda is also very particular
about his sushi ingredients. The foundation of sushi is rice, and he never
skimps on that aspect. The restaurant's homemade rice mainly comes from
Yamagata Prefecture's famous early rice varieties, mixed with seasonal rice.
He selects each grain of rice for its texture and sweetness, ensuring a
perfect fit with the sushi toppings. The wasabi comes from producers in the
Amagi area of the Izu Peninsula, one of the most famous wasabi production
areas in the country. And, as he has for the past 13 years, he still goes to
Toyosu Market every morning to look for the best fish and meet fishermen he
has worked with since his youth.
Each fish is prepared in a way that best accentuates its flavor and texture.
The meal is best paired with a glass of wine or sake from Chef Ikeda's
collection, which includes not only red and white wines, but even tangerine
wine, which is made using a rare fermentation method that preserves the skins
of green grapes. But Chef Ikuta is also known for saving the best for last.
His "closing dish", the final dish, is usually the most anticipated part of
the meal and is the ideal ending to a perfect omakase meal.
