A high-end sushi restaurant located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Owner-chef Kim Hak-jun (김학준) [person], a leading disciple of Park Gyeong-jae, a master of Japanese cuisine in South Korea, and formerly sous-chef for seven years at the two-MICHELIN-starred Sushi Kojima (스시코지마), opened the restaurant independently on September 15, 2022.
Based on the rigorous ingredient-sourcing capabilities inherited from his mentor and refined Edomae sushi techniques, the restaurant has established a firm position in Cheongdam's high-end sushi scene.
Carrying on the heritage of Sushi Kojima (스시코지마): At Sushi Kojima, Chef Kim Hak-jun (김학준) served as second chef and was a leading disciple of Chef Park Gyeong-jae (박경재), demonstrating his skills over many years by preparing uni and other sushi for guests. Kojima's distinctive tradition is evident in his delicate handling of ingredients and technique.
Subtle, well-balanced shari: The balance between shari (rice), the foundation of sushi, and su (vinegar) is controlled so that neither stands out and the rice gently loosens in the mouth, softly supporting the direct umami inherent in the finest neta (toppings).
Uncompromising ingredient quality: Drawing on the network accumulated during seven years of training, the restaurant builds its tasting menu exclusively around the highest-quality fresh seasonal ingredients, sourced persistently in the early hours every day.
It is known for its modern space surrounded by art pieces.
A work by artist Yoshitomo Nara hangs behind the counter, while furniture by Oscar Niemeyer is placed throughout the restaurant, reflecting the restaurant management's and Chef Kim Hak-jun's shared affinity for pop art.
